With our two full frame cameras will are ready to take portraits of you with northern lights in the background, plus northern lights and scenery photos.

Itinerary

  1. Take advantage of our 10 years of Aurora chasing experiences. Our friedly and knowledgeable guide will drive with you up to 250 kilometers from Tromso in order to find for you the best possible weather conditions. Once, after finding good weather location, our mission is to take nice portraits of you and Aurora, scenic photos and possibly timelapse/video, which we gladly share with you the very next day. For your comfort during every tour are icluded; our winter dresses, camp fire, tripod chairs with small reindeer skins, hot drinks served with muffins and fruits and camera tripods for DSLR and mirrorless cameras. For our custommers who wish to rest little bit, we gladly keep heated minibus at all times (new minibus Mercedes Sprinter). Our regular tours are usually 6-9 hours long depending on weather conditions and aurora activity. Arrival times to Tromsø depends alot on distance which we had to cover during our chase, and it could vary from night to night; between 1-3am.

  2. Tromsø fjords, mountains and journey to Finland are most frequent locations and directions, where we are chasing northern lights and best possible weather conditions. The correct choice of coastal, or innland areas increase our chances of finding clear sky for you, becuase climate is often very different around west coast comparing to innland areas, or even with climate in Finland. All locations are beautiful, yet very different. Fjords around west coast are only 1 hour away with average temperature during coldest vinter period of -5/-10 degrees Celsius. Innland areas and particurarly Finland (and border) are further away from Gulf stream(which makes coast warmer) and that is the reason why we can experience temperatures colder than minus 20 degrees Celsius in Finland, where we drive regurarly ; whenever weather forecast require that. Therefore, we are one of very few providers who offers to our custommers heatet minibus at all times (for your rest, sleep, or just to get bit warmer=).

About Tromsø

Tromsø is a Norwegian city well inside the Arctic Circle, on an island among fjords and peaks, known for the northern lights and the midnight sun.

Tromsø stands on an island in northern Norway, linked to the mainland by a bridge and a tunnel, with jagged peaks rising across the sound. Founded in the eighteenth century, it grew as a base for Arctic hunters and explorers, and the Polar Museum recalls expeditions that set out from the harbour. The Arctic Cathedral, with its angled glass front, stands across the bridge, and wooden houses fill the old centre.

Top-ranked sights in Tromsø: Tromso Fjords, Kvaloya (Sállir), Sommaroy.
