About this experience

This isn’t your typical Aurora tour — it’s a handcrafted, small-group fjord expedition built for serious Northern Lights chasers. Led by a professional Aurora tracker, the route follows live weather and solar forecasts, guiding you through Tromsø’s dramatic fjordlands and beyond if needed. You’ll venture into remote areas like Kaldfjord, Ersfjord, and Balsfjord — far from the crowds — where the Northern Lights reflect off still waters beneath towering Arctic peaks.
With a maximum of 8 guests, the experience is intimate, flexible, and immersive. Thermal suits, campfire breaks, and pro-level Aurora photography all add to the comfort and quality. Multilingual guides ensure smooth communication, whether you speak English, Arabic, or Norwegian.
And yes — bring your passport. If the weather demands it, we’ll cross into Finland in pursuit of clearer skies. This is the real Arctic hunt — wherever the lights lead, we follow.
