Chasing the Northern Lights – A Magical Arctic Experience
Are you dreaming of witnessing one of nature’s most awe-inspiring wonders — the magical green lights of the Aurora Borealis dancing across the Arctic sky?
Let our experienced and passionate local guides help turn that dream into reality.
Your journey begins with pickup from our designated meeting point. Before we set off, your guide will give a short briefing about the evening’s plan, including the latest weather and aurora forecasts, so you know what to expect.
We’ll then head out in our comfortable minibuses, leaving behind the city lights and entering the deep, dark landscapes of fjords, forests, and mountains.
Our experienced guides use the most effective technology, apps, websites, live satellite images, sky cams, weather observation cams and a significant number of regional partners in the whole region for tracking the best spots that are suitable for viewing the Northern Lights.
We know where to find the best aurora-viewing locations, and we’re ready to travel across the country borders even deep into Finland or even Sweden to take you where the chances of seeing the lights are highest. Our tours typically last between 5 to 10 hours, depending on the conditions.
While we wait under the stars, you’ll enjoy a cup of hot traditional blackcurrant juice and a traditional Norwegian cake, “Lefse.” If the weather allows, we’ll also light a cozy bonfire to keep the Arctic chill away and roast marshmallows.
Your guide will share fascinating stories, myths, and science behind the Northern Lights — from ancient legends to modern facts — adding even more depth to this unforgettable experience.
When the lights appear, your guide will take professional photos of your group under the aurora and send them to you the next day — free of charge. If you want to get multiple high-resolution pictures, it will be possible for an additional fee.
We’ll also help you capture your own magical shots using your camera or smartphone. Get ready to grab your camera and explore settings like ISO, long exposure, aperture settings, auto and manual focus as well as white balance to make the most of your Northern Lights photos.
At the end of the evening, we’ll drive you back to your accommodation in the city center. If you’re staying outside the center, we can drop you off at a nearby taxi station or back at the original meeting point.
Let the Northern Lights lead the way. Contact us for any questions or special requests — we’re here to help you experience the magic.
