Northern Lights Expedition Active Tour - Extra Small group 6 max - 4x4 vehicle - Hiking / Snowshoeing & Photography
- Duration: 6 Hours (approx.)
- Location: Tromsø
First things first: THIS IS NOT AN ORDINARY NORTHERN LIGHTS TOUR!
Walking on ice and snow, reaching the most scenic spots, exploring remote areas. That’s how you experience the Northern Lights at their best!
Starting with a capable 4x4 Toyota Land Cruiser, we will overland to locations with suitable skies in order to chase the elusive Aurora Borealis.Being an active outdoor tour, if the weather conditions allow, we may go hiking or snowshoeing deeper in the backcountry, reaching wild landscapes, pristine fjords, frozen lakes and the best spots that the Arctic has to offer, away from the mass tourism crowd.
Whether the ground will be covered in ice or snow, you will be provided with ice crampons or snow rackets, walking poles, thermal suits as well as foot and hand warmers.
Remember to wear your own warm snow boots!
Your guide will take photos of you and the landscape, but if you have a camera as well, bring it along! You'll get tips on how to take your own Aurora photographs and use a professional tripod.
A soup for dinner, cookies and hot drinks will warm us up in the wild, while enjoying the night Arctic sky!

With several years of experience in guiding Northern Lights tours in Tromsø region, you can be sure to be in good hands while on tour with me. Local knowledge, deep understanding of weather patterns and a wide network of fellow guides are the keys to unlock the best results in chasing Auroras! I always say that to be a Northern Lights Guide is a hard job but somebody has to do it: after nearly 1000 seen Auroras I’m still proud of my job and eager to see and make others see what Mother Nature will show us in a different way each day.
