Activity description

Discover the Arctic fjords while watching the sky dance above you.

Tromsø is the perfect location in order to start your hunt for the polar lights. Nowhere else in the world it is easier to see them than in northern Norway.

First of all, you will be equipped for the adventure. Warm clothes, reflectors, and a headlamp so that you don't get lost in the dense forests and snowy landscapes of Lapland. By car and on foot, you will now be taken to various spots in the wilderness.

If you pass a fireplace during your search for the northern lights, you will prepare a meal there. You will also receive drinks, snacks and a light meal throughout the tour.

All photo and video recordings will then be stored online and all participants will have access to the files.

This was a great adventure into the mountains for viewing the northern lights. It was cloudy so we could only see a peek of them through the camera lens, but the full moon was beautiful and our time well spent.

Great activity to chase the spots to try to track down the lights! While we ultimately were not able to see the lights, this was out of our control, and it was very cool to see the scientific process behind tracking down the lights.

Excellent - If there are clouds, you may not see any lights, but those are out of your control. Book a lights experience when the moon is half full or less. A new moon is best but we saw plenty of lights with a half moon!

This was a well-planned and enjoyable tour. Although we didn’t see the lights, we had an overall wonderful experience throughout the entire tour.

We were unlucky about the Northern Lights, however our guide Karin was amazing and tried so hard for finding the lights. She also made a very lovely organisation. We finally had chance to see the lights a little bit, but we had to try another night for the lights.

We had lot of chance because it was a very good weather with no cloud and a rain of shooting stars.

Wir waren 7 Personen, die in der Nähe des Terminals von Karin abgeholt wurden. Weiter ging es zu einer privaten Grillhütte-sehr gemütlich. Dort sahen wir die gesuchten Polarlichter- leider nicht sehr intensiv, aber es war trotzdem sehr schön. Nach anschließendem Grillen und Heissgetränken versuchte Karin weiter, Polarlichter zu finden- es war leider zu bewölkt. Als kleine Entschädigung hatten wir dann noch eine Stadtrundfahrt mit Fotostop an der Eismeerkathedrale.

Its was relaxing since you get driven to all the places yet still exciting

The activity is well planned. You drive an hour in Karin’s car before arriving at the cotta grill which has a beautiful view. There will be local and self made cold food at your disposition (delicious). If you get lucky with the lights, it will be an evening you gonna remember for the rest of your life. I strongly encourage you to book the evening with her. It is worth every penny !

We arrived at a difficult whether for the Northern lights. Karin communicated with us to rearrange our tour and drove long distances just so we could see the lights.

Brilliant - had a really enjoyable evening : Karin took us to some lovely spots and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the lights - no rushing. And a lovely snack time at the end in her BBQ hut!

Expérience incroyable !! Je recommande fortement ! Petit groupe de 8. Guide au top et super investie Annulation du barbecue pour pouvoir aller plus loin en voiture pour voir des aurores, nous sommes aller jusqu'en Finlande sur un spot incroyable ! Nous ne sommes pas déçu bien au contraire Karin nous à même préparé des boissons chaude et des en-cas lors de l'excursion! Elle n'a pas hésiter à nous prendre en photo devant les aurores et nous les à envoyé par mail super rapidement !

Great and memorable trip! Karin showed us a wonderful time, provided informative background on the local culture, and drove us to a number of sites to ensure a great experience viewing the Lights despite unpredictable weather. The barbeque hut and local food were a great addition. Would definitely recommend. Thanks for a great trip Karin!

The guide is the best!

Peu paraître onéreux de prime abord pour les petits budget, mais cette activité est idéal car intimiste, 3 couples à bord du mini van. A la recherche des aurores boréales. Des habits chaud sont à votre disposition. Une escale finale est prévus dans une cabane en bois type lavoo où un bon feu vous attends.

A brilliant personalised tour to see the Northern Lights. Despite the weather being particularly bad at the weekend, Karin had expert knowledge of where to see the ‘lights’ and how to photograph them.

I had a great night to see the north light for first time.
