Tromsø
This tour is conducted by Polar Adventures. Take a personalized Northern Lights Chase with them to see the Aurora Borealis while exploring the stunning Arctic landscape.
We travel in small groups because it creates a unique and cozy atmosphere in
addition to making the experience even more authentic.
A mix of experienced Aurora hunters, professional tour guides, and
photographers will lead your hunt for the Northern Lights.
The tour's location is determined by the weather and where clear skies are
available; occasionally, the tour extends to the Finnish borders.
You will never forget this intimate and extraordinary hunt for the Northern
Lights!
The main goal is to let you see the Aurora Borealis while you get a real taste of
the countryside outside of Troms.
Our local guides will pick you up in the city center and take you to beautiful
mountains, fjords, and valleys to begin the tour. During the visit, you could
encounter North Norwegian natural life and lovely landscape, assuming the
weather conditions permit it.
Due to the unpredictable nature of the Arctic, you can anticipate an
unforgettable experience. We will provide you with warm drinks and snacks,
and we will also lend you warm clothing. Your guide will take photographs on
the visit, and we will send them to you the day after the excursion.
You will be brought back to your hotel/accommodation following the tour.
Welcome, and get ready for the chase!
If the sky is very cloudy on the night you have booked and the chances of
seeing the Northern Lights are small, you will be offered to leave the bus and
receive a full refund. We follow the weather forecast closely, so you don’t have
to. If we do not give you a call before 19:00, the tour will go ahead and
depending on the chances of seeing Northern Lights, you will be offered to
leave the bus and get a full refund or join the tour and get the 30 % discount if
you don’t see the Northern Lights.
The route:
Our buses will drive far north, south, west and east to find the Northern Light if necessary.
The maximum distance we will drive towards the east is right over the boarder to Finland
and in the south, Bardufoss.
