Full description

Hunt down the Northern Lights with a local guide well-trained in tracking this natural phenomenon.

Begin your adventure at the local supplier's base camp in central Tromsø where you will meet for a briefing and introduction to the area you will explore, as well as the Northern Lights forecast for the evening. Then board the comfortable tour minibus.

Your guide will work with other guides and weather and communication analysis to ensure you have the best chance of clear views of the northern lights. They will also take professional photos on their cameras and help you set up your camera for the best shot as well.

Your guide will stay with you for the entire evening while making sure you are as comfortable and warm as possible. Thermal suits and warm, dry boots are provided for the entire duration of the tour.

Later in the evening, enjoy the warmth of a bonfire and a hot meal, with roasted marshmallows and hot drinks. At the end of the tour, get dropped off by the minibus back at the base camp.

I was lucky enough to see a strong northern lights show on the very first day of the trip. The tour was very well organized and there was an introduction about the northern lights as well as thermal suits and winter boots. We had a lot of fun with our guides Mihail and Jakob and i would definitely book with Pukka travels again.

We had a short explanation about our trip before with our guide that gave us a briefing about the Northern lights, very clarifying. The mini bus was a little bit tight because we were full but nothing that became an issue after chasing the light and managing to see it. Mind-blowing experience. We got the photos of the trip the day after. Recommend to everyone.

Guide and driver made a big difference. Picked a great place and knew what to look for and what to expect. Kept us informed and expectant. We stopped for viewings on our way home and caught more. As a side, the dinner was terrific. 100 percent satisfied.
