Northern Lights Observation at Camp Tamok from Tromsø

Situated just a few miles north of the Arctic Circle and right in the centre of the Northern Lights oval, Tromsø is one of the best spots to witness some of the most magical Aurora shows dancing right above you! Camp Tamok is an isolated camp, based outside of Tromsø, which offers fantastic, light pollution-free sky views, as well as generally stable weather conditions to observe the mystical Northern Lights!

Your adventure begins in Tromsø's city center, where you will meet your guides at least 15 minutes before your departure time, and embark on a 90-minute scenic ride to Camp Tamok. Take in the breathtaking scenery along the way, as your guides take you to the camp, situated in the unspoiled wilderness, near the mountains bordering Norway, Finland, and Sweden.

Upon arrival, you will receive warm winter clothing to keep you cosy during the evening, and watch an interesting presentation about the Aurora Borealis, followed by some insider tips and tricks of capturing the best pictures! Depending on the weather conditions and the forecast, your guides will take on short walks toward different spots around the camp to catch the Auroras dancing right above you.

Once you've been dazzled by the dancing lights of the Arctic, you will head back to the camp to warm up by the roaring fire in a reindeer herder's tent and enjoy a delicious and locally produced warm meal. Taste the local flavors and sit around the red flames as you gaze in awe at the green flames right above you!

Once you've warmed up, it is time to board the bus and marvel one last time at the breathtaking scenery as you make your way back to Tromsø. Keep in mind that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, which makes them completely unpredictable. Camp Tamok is one of the best places in the world to find the Aurora, but your instructor can't guarantee sightings.
