IN SEARCH OF THE NORTHERN LIGHTS

5 Days /

4 Nights

A 5 days (4 nights) itinerary in search of the magical Aurora Borealis and the incredible arctic landscapes of the city of Tromsø and the island of Kvaløya.

Tromsø is considered one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights, and not by chance. Its geographic position, right below the Aurora Oval, means that auroras can appear even when solar activity is moderate — giving you far more chances than in most other Arctic locations.

But it’s not just about latitude: Tromsø offers excellent infrastructure, reliable transport, and we know exactly where to go based on real-time weather and microclimate conditions. The surrounding fjords and islands create multiple “escape routes” from clouds, allowing us to drive you into clear skies even when the weather seems uncertain.

If your main goal is to witness the aurora, Tromsø is where your odds are highest — a place where nature, geography, and local expertise come together to give you the best possible chance of seeing the sky come alive.

DAYLIGHT EXPLORATIONS

Each day begins with gentle daytime adventures into the Arctic wilderness. Depending on the season and weather, you might:

Visit reindeer farms and learn about the Sami Culture
Enjoy light snowshoe hikes
Explore the beautiful islands of Kvaløya an Senja

AURORA NIGHTS

The evening is reserved for chasing the northern lights. We know exactly where to go, whether it’s to a coastal clearing, a frozen lake or even towards the Finnish border, we’ll chase with purpose, but never rush — with warmth, storytelling, and hot drinks by the fire. With a bit of luck, you’ll witness one of nature’s most powerful displays.

WHERE YOU’LL STAY

Comfortable accommodation in Tromsø city center, or optionally outside the city in a countryside guesthouse for darker skies
Daily breakfast included with lunch and or dinner often included in the daily activities

It correct answer should be: depends. If we should aware you, we definetelly suggest you to book as soon as possible, that's in order to prevent any type of inconvenient due to fully booking activities and/or increasing the hotel price. Remember: during the high season you might barely find something to do because the high demand and in most cases we are fully booked for days for our most popolar tours and many locals tours operators might not alloweds you to join on their tours as well. As a general rule we suggest you to book with a minimum of 4 month in advance: the earlier the better. Sometimes we can also have last minute availability, but the price might increase up to 30%.
