About the activity
Located in the far north of Norway, Tromsø is a popular destination for travellers seeking Arctic experiences. The city lies on the island of Tromsøya, surrounded by fjords, mountains and dramatic landscapes. Due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle, Tromsø is also one of the best places in the world to witness the Northern Lights!
Your Northern Lights chase from Tromsø begins at the meeting point in the city centre, where you'll board a large comfortable bus. You'll be greeted by the professional guide, who is an expert at tracking the Aurora Borealis. The route and itinerary for the evening will depend on the weather and aurora forecast.
After a quick overview, you'll start driving from Tromsø, leaving behind the bright city lights and venturing into the dark mystical wilderness! The driving distance will vary depending on the prime viewpoints, and the Northern Lights chase from Tromsø may even lead you across the Finnish border. As you drive, you'll be treated to mesmerising views of Tromsø's diverse landscapes. Upon arrival at the optional viewing location, you'll disembark the vehicle and gather around a cosy campfire.
While you wait for the magical lights to appear, you'll enjoy delicious local cuisine and hot drinks. The guide will share stories about Arctic culture, including the history of the Northern Lights, and the heritage of the local Sami people, the indigenous group in Norway. If you're lucky, the night sky will come alive with the colourful dance of the Aurora Borealis!
