Embark on an extraordinary Arctic adventure with our exclusive Northern Lights Tour, a small group excursion designed for a maximum of 6 participants - the most intimate tour in the area. The journey commences at 7:00 p.m./19:00 from Kaigata 4 on Tromsø's island, right by the iconic Magic Ice bar. The tour is guided by Norwegian local and certified guides with experience in Arctic conditions. Enjoy traveling VIP style in our comfortable four-wheel drive Mercedes, giving us the flexibility to discover the lights where we need to go.
As we navigate the months with dark evenings from September to April, our primary goal is to chase clear skies, maximizing our chances of witnessing the enchanting Northern Lights. The excursion spans 5-6 hours and takes us in various directions away from the city lights, allowing us to explore the most promising vantage points for this awe-inspiring natural spectacle.
The Arctic weather adds an element of unpredictability to our journey. Some nights, the lights gracefully dance directly above us, creating a surreal atmosphere. Other nights, we embark on a true "hunt," possibly reaching the Finnish border, a 2-3 hour drive from Tromsø. While sightings are frequent, there are no guarantees, making each excursion a unique and thrilling experience.
Experience the Arctic elements firsthand. Dress appropriately for the weather, and if you're unsure, feel free to reach out for guidance. Be prepared for an outdoor experience under the magical Northern Lights. On not-too-cold evenings, you might feel inclined to take a refreshing dip in the Barents Sea. Don't forget to bring a towel for a well-deserved diploma after the plunge!
Our small group size allows for flexibility and personalized attention. Throughout the evening, we make several stops to observe the lights, with longer breaks featuring a bonfire, a portion of soup or stew, and hot drinks - all subject to weather and light conditions.
This season, we're committed to providing an exclusive and immersive adventure, limiting each tour to a maximum of 6 guests. For those seeking an even more intimate experience, explore our private tour option. Bigger groups than 6 guests possible on request - get in touch and we´ll give you our best suggestions.
Let's create unforgettable memories under the mesmerizing Arctic sky!
