Detailed itinerary

Your night starts with door-to-door Free pickup anywhere in Tromsø—no crowded bus meet-ups. You join a tiny group (max 8 Guests) in a big, comfortable van, then your guide briefs you on the plan using live cloud maps, road cams, and aurora data.

We head to the clearest skies—fjords, valleys, frozen lakes—and set up at quiet locations away from the crowds. If conditions are better across the border, we drive into Finland (please bring your passport).

As the aurora builds, we keep you comfortable with thermal suits, hot drinks, and a cozy micro-camp where safe/allowed. Your guide—also a professional aurora photographer—frames free portraits under the lights and helps you dial in your own camera. Free of Charge.

We adapt in real time: switching valleys if cloud moves, staying longer when the sky opens. No gimmicks or guarantees—just smart routing, patience, and local expertise to give you the best possible night. After the show, we drop you back at your address in Tromsø.
