The Tour in My Voice

The northern lights are never guaranteed, but with an experienced local guide, patience, and knowledge of the land, you’ll have a great chance of witnessing nature’s most magical display. This group chase is designed for travelers who want to share the excitement of the aurora with others while still experiencing the beauty of the Arctic night.

We follow the weather, drive beyond the city lights, and stop wherever the skies are clearest. Along the way, you’ll gather around a fire, enjoy a warm homemade meal, and hear stories of life under the aurora. If the lights appear, the moment is unforgettable with the glowing, breathtaking, Northern Lights and share it with your fellow adventurers.

Itinerary

Evening Pick-Up in Tromsø
Meet your guide and fellow guests at a central meeting point in Tromsø. We’ll set off at 18:00. Meet 10 minutes before, the car will be there ready to great you.

The Chase Begins
Together, we’ll head out in a comfortable 7-seater to the best viewing spots, guided by live forecasts. Some nights we may stay nearby; other times, the chase may take us deep into fjords and valleys.

Aurora Watch & Campfire
Once we find a promising spot, we’ll step away from the road to enjoy the stillness of the Arctic. A campfire will be set up, where we share hot drinks and a homemade bacalao dinner with fresh bread.

Photography & Stories
If the aurora dances above, the guide will capture professional photos of you under the lights. When the skies are calm, you’ll hear local stories, folklore, and insights into life in the Arctic.

Return to Tromsø
After 6–8 hours, we return to Tromsø, carrying memories of an Arctic night few ever forget. The latest we ever will stay out is until 02.00, this is only if the lights are late at showing up.
