Warm bonfire is more than desired in the middle of the night. It's the best time to tell you some northern lights legends and roast yummy marshmallows on fire.
are you ready for the green adventure?
Every journey begins with a single step. You can start your green adventure right now and we will make your dreams of seeing the northern lights come true.
On the day of the tour we will pick you up in front of Scandic Ishavshotel. We prefer to gather the whole group in one meeting point, then we have more time for chasing Aurora. Sometimes the lights can appear early, so there is no time to loose. We value the intimate atmosphere very much, so we provide small group tours. With small group we are able to reach hidden places rather than big buses with 50 other people, so if you want to enjoy the Northern Lights while avoiding the crowds - this is the tour for you. At the beginning we will do a short introduction about weather conditions, possibilities to see the lights and selected locations for chasing. We also have contact with other trusted guides to increase our chances.
If there's an Aurora waiting for us somewhere, we'll find her! Hovewer you need to also understand that this is natural phenomena, caused by solar wind. We cannot make for you artificial Northern Lights, unless you have nuclear weapon. We will do our best to find clear skies, but then also Aurora must do her best. Hopefully She likes to show off to positive people, so you'd better bring a good mood with you.
Once we find the right place under the clear skies, we will set up a camp for the evening. We will equip you with thermal suits, but you should remember about comfortable shoes and woolen socks, cause often we have to walk in deep snow a bit away from our car. If you decide to bring your own camera, we are happy to give you tips about the best settings and we've got tripods for cameras. However you can count on our professional photos, cause you are here to enjoy the northern lights with your eyes. When the Aurora appears in the sky, we will take as many photos as you wish.
Sitting by the campfire is the perfect time to eat warm soup and drink hot chocolate. We always use local soups, the best for cold, arctic conditions. We will tell you our stories about northern lights and arctic nature to make this evening even more special. This is green adventure, so we also doing our best to protect environment and leave the place in the same conditions as it was before our visit.
We highly value your safety in the middle of the night, so after the tour, we will drop you off to your hotel in the city center of Tromso (or taxi stand if you have accommodation outside the city center). However this is not the end yet! The next days wait for our e-mail with photos and you can share your unforgettable moments with family and friends.
