Chase Tromsø’s Northern Lights by minibus with thermal gear, hot food, campfire and professional photos in a small English-speaking group.

“Highly recommend booking this experience to see the Northern Lights. Petra was the guide for the night and she was just amazing. Whilst there is no guarantee to see the Northern Lights the team go all the way to maximise your chances throughout the night and I couldn't be happier because the sky put on an amazing show. We set up on the beach with a fire and food and just watched the aurora dance. Petra was truly lovely and took professional photos which captured it all. Highly recommend this tour.”

Review of Tromsø’s Northern Lights Photography Tour, covering aurora chasing, photography help, comfort, value, limits, and booking tips.

“Even though we didn't see the Northern Lights, I'm giving it 5 stars because our guide, Bogdan, was amazing. He did his best, but unfortunately, the weather was so bad and it was snowing so much that there was nothing he could do. Still, he tried until the very end. It was my birthday that day, and I really wanted to see the Northern Lights, I was very disappointed and sad that it didn't happen, but Bogdan's approach made sure we had the best night possible. Despite everything, it was a birthday I'll never forget. Thank you.”

“We spent two days with Peter, who is a wonderful guide, a professional photographer, and just like Santa! He introduced us to a lot of the history of Lofoten, gave us plenty of time to take photos, and also allowed us to relax. When we mentioned that we hoped to see a moose, he took us on a chase to find one, and he even sent us photos of the moose afterward. He truly was like Santa! Thank you, Peter, and we hope to travel with you again next time we are in Lofoten!”

“We had an amazing trip with Alan. He was engaging, interesting and knowledgeable about the Northern Lights. He absolutely did his best to find the optimum spot to where we might see lights (never a guarantee with nature!). We were unbelievably lucky to see a beautiful light show. Can highly recommend this tour, just be realistic and remember that the guide can't magic up the Northern Lights if the conditions aren't right!”
