Northern Lights Tour Small Group

This tour is operated by Borealis Tour.

Join a small-group Northern Lights tour from Tromsø with a maximum of eight guests. The limited group size offers a more personal experience and gives the guide flexibility to adapt the route to the weather, cloud cover and driving conditions.

Using local knowledge, weather forecasts and information about solar activity, the guide will search for clear skies and favourable conditions for seeing the Northern Lights. The tour may visit several locations and can travel as far as Finland when necessary.

At a suitable location, you can relax around the campfire while learning more about the Northern Lights, Arctic wildlife and the history of Tromsø. Hot drinks, local snacks, locally produced sausages and marshmallows are served during the tour.

Thermal suits are included to help keep you warm. Hand warmers, head torches and tripods for cameras and mobile phones are also available when needed.

High-resolution portrait and landscape photographs from the tour are included and will be sent to you afterwards.
