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. We know where to find the best aurora-viewing locations, and we’re ready to travel across a wide region — even as far as Finland — 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 warm cup of traditional blackcurrant juice and a slice of classic Norwegian cake, “Lefse.” If the weather allows, we’ll also light a cozy bonfire to keep the Arctic chill away.
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. We’ll also help you capture your own magical shots using your camera or smartphone. Get ready to explore settings like ISO, long exposure, aperture, and 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.
