Located in northern Norway, the legendary city of Tromsø is often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Arctic' and is situated on the island of Tromsøya. Tromsø is known as a rich cultural hub surrounded by pristine wilderness.

The adventure begins at the meeting point in Tromsø, where you and your small group will be greeted by your knowledgeable guide. After a safety and itinerary briefing, the captivating evening starts! In the comfortable vehicle, you'll be driven far away from the city lights (up to 210 km/130 miles each way) on the hunt for the Northern Lights, travelling as far as Finland.

If weather conditions allow, you'll be treated to light snacks as well as hot and cold beverages around a roaring bonfire, the perfect way to warm up on cold winter nights in Norway and savour the serenity of nature as you gaze up at the sky! Having witnessed the vibrant colours of the Aurora Borealis in the wilderness of Norway, you'll return to the original departure point with cherished memories of the Arctic Northern Lights tour from Tromsø!
