Located within the Arctic Circle, the Norwegian city of Tromsø is famed for its stunning natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Situated in northern Norway, this city is also an economic and cultural hub of the region. In addition, it is one of the best places in the world to view the breathtaking Northern Lights. So it is only natural that a guided Northern Lights chase from Tromsø is an experience not to be missed! On board a comfortable and heated bus, you will depart for 6 to 6.5 hours of Northern Lights chasing. Since Tromsø is located within the 'Aurora Oval', your chances of witnessing the Northern Lights are much higher, even when the activity is low! For the best places to view the Aurora Borealis, your guide relies on their expertise, knowledge and weather forecasts, coordinating with the driver to calculate the best route for this evening tour.
Throughout your Northern Lights chase from Tromsø, you will make several stops to marvel at the vibrant colours dancing in the night sky.
