Things to do in Troms, Northern Norway: The Best Nature & Wildlife Tours

September 1, 2021 Tambra Mccollister

From its snow-capped mountains to its mighty fjords, from grand valleys to tranquil lakes and lovely archipelagos, the county of Troms is bursting with natural wonders. To cap it off, it also plays host to the northern lights. Tromso, the capital, is the gateway to the region's rugged beauty, but with 65,000 people it's also a surprisingly rich city culturally, with many interesting museums and sites (including the world's northernmost botanical garden) and even a pulsing nightlife.

Green Fox Guiding - NL chases - Day Tours

My name is Govind and I am a life enthusiasm, photographer, traveller and free thinker! Most of all a guide in Arctic for last 10 years! In my free time I love to do yoga, mediation, ice-baths, healthy lifestyle, diets, walk in nature and enjoy my life to the fullest As a Northern lights guide I started in 2009 doing dogsledding for two years, then I run my own local Photography Aurora workshops, driving thousands of miles in Arctic conditions, tuning into the weather rather by observing the changes and being there one with nature rather then following the weather forecasts :D If you join me then for sure I am 110% in.. I am honest, authentic, reliable, resilient. One of my favourite things in life are sitting by the fire by night, watching the stars and waiting for the Auroras.. Magic is on and your every day life feels like a dream..

Arctic Experience Tromso

I go further, to bring you closer! I keep it small, friendly and personal; My name is Dan, and I`m a native Norwegian, born and raised in Arctic Norway. I grew up under the Northern lights, so I know the nature up here, the folklore, the culture and the best places to find the lights. I am also a professional photographer, and if your camera is up to the challenge of taking pictures of the Aurora, I will show you how to set it up for doing just that. I will also take pictures and e-mail you after the tour, free of charge of course. My dedication creates your memories, so I will go as long as it takes and do whatever it takes to give you the best possibility to see the lights :) All the best, Dan the Aurora Man :)
