Northern Lights Chase with authentic North Norwegian Charm
Experience the magic of the sky with an exciting Northern Lights safari at Tromsø Friluftsenter.
We want you to see the Northern Lights as much as you do
"As one of the pioneers in Tromsø for Northern Lights, and as we proudly celebrate 20 years in 2024, we have extensive experience and knowledge of the local area. We want you to have a northern Norwegian experience that goes beyond the Northern Lights tour you had in mind. We create memories that stay in the heart. This also means that we will do everything we can to make sure you get what you came for, but with an effort that goes under your skin."
You will see the Northern Lights, and we deliver this by driving wherever we must to find clear skies. Sometimes, this takes us all the way to Finland, so remember to dress warmly. During certain periods, Tromsø can also be icy, so be aware and bring shoe spikes for your safety. We have insulated suits that you can wear on top of your own warm clothes.
We'll meet you at the Scandic Ishavshotel in the city center, just a short walk from most hotels and only 10 minutes from the airport. Prior to the trip, with local knowledge, we've been monitoring weather changes throughout the day and have a plan for where the best chances of clear skies and the Northern Lights are. We collaborate with the best guides in the city to ensure our success. You should feel and see that we've done everything we can to provide you with the natural miracle - the Northern Lights. Now, the adventure begins, and you'll watch a film about the Northern Lights, both the science and myths to understand what you're about to experience.
If we are lucky and the weather at our home base is good, we will take you to our coastal farm. Here, you'll have the opportunity to see and experience an old farm that has its roots dating back to 1880. We have a lavvu (Sami tent), and we can sit protected from the weather while we share our history, which has Sami, Kven, and genuine city roots dating back to when Tromsø became a city in 1794. If we need to go to other places, we ensure that we create a pleasant atmosphere with a fire, seating, hot coffee, chocolate, tea, and the world's best chocolate cake.
During the evening, we take professional pictures of you under the Northern Lights with our camera. These will be available for download from our Flickr account. We also assist you with settings on your camera or phone so you can take your own pictures.
In a few cases, the weather may look really bad in Tromsø, but fear not. We constantly monitor the weather forecasts and all the updates, basing our decision on the latest weather forecast that is available just before we pick you up.
It is taken at our discretion that if we consider the chances of achieving clear skies to be too small, we retain the right to give you the opportunity to join the trip or not before the trip starts.
At this point, you have two choices:
- You can choose to go off the bus and get your money fully refunded.
- You can join the trip and take the chance anyway. Note: There will be no possibility of a refund if you choose to join the trip and we are unfortunately unsuccessful.
In all cases we will do our very best, and remember "we want you to see the Northern Lights just as much as you want to see them!"
A friendly piece of advice is to have your travel insurance in order before your trip due to the Arctic conditions, which are beyond our control, such as flights, etc.
