Northern Lights Tour from Tromsø

Posted By : Jennifer_Dorsey
Amazing tour!! Our guide, Max, was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about finding the aurora borealis (Northern Lights). We actually did two nights of this tour with Max as our guide and we found the Northern Lights on both trips. Max did a wonderful job of explaining the science behind the Northern Lights. Max and his van drivers made us feel safe and took very good care of us all along the way. I have many marvelous memories from these two evenings - roasting reindeer sausages over a campfire by the roadside, seeing an adult and then a baby moose run beside us of us then in front of our van (as I mentioned previously our drivers were very safe and experienced at driving in the cold/icy conditions while on high alert for any animals that might cross our path), and of course the star of the show who did not disappoint... the Aurora!!!

Camera tip - if you want vibrant color photos of the Northern Lights, take a good camera with a tripod. The touring company provided a few extra tripods in the event you don't want to travel with one. You'll need to be very still with long exposure time to capture more vivid colors. My photos attached to this post were taken with my iPhone's night exposure setting. They are OK but our guide who had a quality camera and tripod took much more amazing and colorful photos (by the way, which he emailed his photos to us afterward!!!). Thanks Max and team for such memorable adventures in Northern Lights Chasing!!!

We had an experience of a lifetime. Bert and his company made sure that we found the perfect spot to view the Northern Lights/ Aurora. We so enjoyed ourselves as we viewed the incredible scene of dancing lights in the sky! We were offered a cozy warm fire to sit around and have the scientific explanation discussed and enjoyed warm drinks and food. We could not have asked for a better evening. Thank you

Marvelous trip to meet spectacular northern light. Our guide Max is professional and experienced geographer and photographer. He introduced everything about the northern light and the weather of Tromso, also helped to set the camera and tripod to catch the northern lights. His commentary style is charming, easy to focus on. Besides, warm suits and boots they all prepared well that we can withstand the frozen weather. This is really a memorable trip.

Harry, as our guide had so much knowledge and information regarding the northern lights. It was quite impressive to see someone so extremely passionate about it. He explained the entire sky, stars and the lights to us in such an easy way. Very helpful too in terms of photography or any questions asked.
He was also an amazing Astro-photographer.

The reindeer hot dogs, hot chocolate, tea and cookies were yum.

I highly recommend this tour with them.

My suggestion is to wear the thermal suit and boots (provided by them) to keep your hands and feet warm.

It's difficult to find words that would accurately describe our experience. This trip was MAGICAL! Even if our guide, Bert, would try to explain that aurora borealis isn't really magic, I'm still not sure if i believe him. Bert and Kamil took us to a most amazing spot in a frozen fjord to see the northern lights and took great care of us - made sure we are warm, have a warm beverage and reindeer sausage at the end. The pictures taken by Bert during the tour are a beautiful souvenir of this magical night.

This was a great trip to a stunning location and we were blessed with the most incredible show of northern lights dancing across the sky.

We cooked reindeer sausages over the fire which were very tasty. Bert our guide was passionate and knowledgeable - I loved his talk about the stars. Andre (sorry I think I've spelt that wrong) our driver also did a great job - thank you both. Great photos to remember the night.

I thought I'd add a few thoughts on how to make the most of these trips:
1. It's very cold and you are outside for a long time (some people seem surprised by this!) - go properly prepared and take more than you think you'll need. I found I needed two pairs of gloves which makes taking photos very hard!
2. Think about getting a tripod for your phone. I saw other people with them on a single long pole that you could stick in the snow. This then allows you to get better photos with longer exposures (particularly if you don't have the fanciest of phones).
3. Allow yourself to enjoy the lights and know that your guide will take some awesome pictures for you. It is such a magical experience and the memories of being in the moment are just as important as the photos.
