The adventure begins with a pick-up in Tromsø in the early evening, where you’ll meet your guide and embark on a comfortable minibus journey to find the clearest skies. Depending on weather conditions, the expedition may take you to the coast around Tromsø or even to Finland. Throughout the drive, knowledgeable guides will lead you through stunning landscapes to prime locations for witnessing the aurora borealis.

Your team will provide warm suits and snow boots to keep you snug in the cold. While awaiting the appearance of the northern lights, you can enjoy a hot meal and drinks by the campfire.
