LIGHTS CHASE
WHICH NORTHERN LIGHTS
TOUR TO CHOOSE?
Two types:
2. Northern Lights Experience: These activities go to one
dark, scenic and comfortable location where you have
good chances of seeing the Northern Lights, and at the
same time can try exciting and interesting activities or
experience some North Norwegian culture.
Photo: Arctic Explorers
1. Northern Lights Chase: These activities go in search
of the best possible place on any given night to find clear
sky and then the Northern Lights. The chase goes by bus,
minibus or boat. If you are in a hurry and don’t mind
getting back late, then these are a good option with high
chances of finding the lights. Choose the tour that best
suits you, based on duration, price, group size and what is
included.
When taking photos of the Northern Lights, consider this
advice from famous Northern Lights hunter Kjetil Skogli:
Equipment: full frame camera with bright wide-angle lens,
Canon 5D with aperture 1.6 and tripod.
ISO: 200 – 800
Blender: 1,6
Aperture: Between 5 and 10 seconds
Focus: Manual focus set to infinity.
Extra tip: Some moonlight over the landscape makes the
photo even more interesting.

Northern Lights Chase in a small group – Northern Lights Tromsø
(from Nov 1)
This is the ideal tour for those who want to chase the Northern Lights in a small group. Everyone has close contact with the guide and receives personal training about photographing the
Northern Lights. Sometimes we put on snowshoes and head out into the wilderness. We travel
in our own vehicle with maximum seven participants. Do you want to have this experience
while you are staying in Tromsø? We travel to areas where we very often catch the Northern
Lights, such as Sommarøy/Kvaløya and Skibotn, but there is no guarantee.

Tromsø Lapland on the island of Kvaløya. The location has little artificial lighting and excellent
conditions to look for the Northern Lights. Instead of heading back to the city centre where you
might miss a late night dance from the Aurora, stay at this good location in a traditional Sami

Reindeer Sledding and Northern Lights – Tromsø Lapland
Try reindeer sledding (approx. 4 km), the oldest means of transportation in the north, with
Tromsø Lapland on the island of Kvaløya. The location has little artificial lighting and excellent conditions to look for the Northern Lights. After the sledding adventure, you can enjoy a traditional
hot Sami meal, storytelling, display of cultural artifacts and joik (traditional Sami song). The camp
is run by an authentic Sami guide, who comes from a family with long reindeer herding traditions.

What does it feel like to see the Northern Lights?
«It is magical, simply magical. You think you must be
dreaming. This is nature’s own silent movie show, aweinspiring, majestic and ethereal that leaves you feeling
stunned, reminded once again of the incredible beauty of
nature. And somewhat grateful that you’ve had the
opportunity to see it.»
