Highlights
  • Tromso - This is a private tour picking you up at your hotel/Airbnb/cruise ship in Tromsø. We first go through the evening to plan and throw in some personal wishes and ideas. The tour itself starts in Tromsø, one of the best places to see the northern lights situated directly under the northern light’s oval.

Our main part of the tour will be spent outside Tromsø. My favorite spots are all located by the sea, a sea that never freezes in the north of Norway due to the Golf current. The seawater is warmer than the air most of the winter, and there are people crazy enough to go for a swim. If the weather is cloudy along the coast, we head for the inland and the mountains.

The big advantage in Tromsø is that we have plenty of locations to choose from, and roads leading in all directions. We will go to wherever is safest and most likely for guests to see the Northern Lights - sometimes that is 30 min outside the city, and on other days all the way to the border with Finland.

Additional Information

This tour offers a private and adaptable excursion in pursuit of the northern lights in and around Tromsø.

For a personalized and close-knit experience, we provide flexibility in the quest and ample time for engrossing conversations about life under the northern skies or the art of northern lights photography. Your guide for this tour is a professionally licensed local who was born and raised in Tromsø and has extensive knowledge of our destination.

Please note that the pursuit of the lights can involve being in a vehicle for anywhere between one and 2.5 hours, subject to the prevailing weather and northern lights conditions. We endeavor to minimise driving time to maximise our time under the stars, but we will travel as far as required - within reasonable limits, of course. Although the tour generally lasts between 6-7 hours, we can tailor the duration to suit your requirements.

Own the night with us! Reach out and we’ll curate the most delightful evening for you - one that respects your preferences and suggestions.

  • Make an enquiry if you plan on bringing smaller children, and we will adapt the tour.

Thank you Reidar - Reidar made our trip to Tromsø invaluable. We saw more than our share of incredible Northern Lights, on multiple nights and each time in amazing locations, all thanks to him. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He was also very dedicated to providing the best experience to his guests. Altogether, we couldn't recommend Reidar enough as a guide and would most definitely reach back to him, were we to ever visit this beautiful part of the world again.

Personalised experience of the northern lights - We travelled as two families with four small(ish) children. Reidar took it all in his stride. We all had so much fun! The whole evening was very well organised, and he also made sure we had every opportunity to input into his planning process. The campfire, hotdogs, smores and hot chocolate went down well. But the children in particular had so much fun with the sled. Then just as the kids were getting tired of playing in the snow, the Northern Lights came right on cue. (Great planning my friend!) If you are after an unforgettable time in Tromsø, you are in safe hands with Reidar. Thank you once again, and we wish you a wonderful Christmas.

Incredible tour with a kind host - Although we weren’t lucky enough to see any northern lights, we had a magical evening sitting by the fire overlooking a beautiful fjord earlier this year. Reidar was very kind, thoughtful, and an all around excellent host / conversation partner. Would recommend this tour regardless of if you can see the lights, we do not regret it! He is a great photographer and captured the moment beautifully.
