What to do and see in Troms, Northern Norway: The Best Private Tours

August 31, 2021 Randal Brittian

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.

We saw the lights beginning of Feb 2020, and due to very bad weather conditions around Tromso, we ended up crossing the Finnish border. Bart was a great guide and did his best to make the tour unforgettable. The spot he picked was fantastic (frozen lake!) and we were lucky enough to see a mesmerising Aurora display that night. We also had some delicious soup and hot chocolate by the camp fire to warm up. Couldn't be happier!

This may be the beginning of a dream come true. Look no further, or read on if you are unsure! As some of the most experienced guides, we analyse weather predictions prior to every tour, and have close contact with a network of guides for the highest chances to see the Northern Lights. Our custom built 4x4 tour van, is fully equipped with everything we may need in the arctic, allowing us to discover remote scenery, reaching the more calm and peaceful places. As a small group of no more than 8 people, we pick you up at a central location, allowing us more time for finding, and seeing the Aurora earlier! With no two nights the same, our enthusiasm and dedication never fades. Upon reaching suitable skies, we will set up camp for the evening. Most of the time this is a shorter drive to the surrounding coastal islands of Tromsø, or if needed a longer drive into Finland. For more info visit our website!

Inclusions: Private Group, up to 8 guests, New Comfortable Custom Built 4x4 tour van, Organic Homemade Vegan friendly Soup w. Bread, Cookies, Hot Beverages, Quality Tripods & Headlamps, Aurora Portrait, Instructions on how to Photograph the Aurora, Professional Photos from the Tour, Campfire, Thermal Suits, Hand & Foot warmers, Pick-up & Drop-off at your Hotel/Accommodation on Tromsø Island

I was so lucky to have chosen this trip and Hannah gave the authenticity to the entire trip where she gave details and facts about every spot she took me to and the touch towards embracing the nature and wildlife. This one roadtrip had made my entire Tromsø trip a very memorable and worthy! I would love to come back to Tromsø and do many more trips! It exceeded more than what i expected. Kudos to Hannah and team and my heartfelt thanks!

The whole experience was great! Markus did his best to make the trip very comfortable. Even though there was not that much aurora activity and it was very cloudy and even snowing, after a couple hours of driving by the Finish border Markus found an opening with very clear skies and we could see some aurora activities and have great shots of them. All in all a great experience.

Your safety is our concern and this tour complies with the safety regulations regarding the Covid-19 situation. Private tour is a great way to explore the Northern Lights scenery, as that way we can really customise the tour to match your needs or wishes. Either it's the late arrival social distancing, family holiday, group of friends/colleagues, demanding photographers or adventurers who want us to take you to the hilltops to get THE Northern Lights photo. It's also a great way to get 100% of guide's attention, to learn more about local history and nature and also about your camera settings, if you are keen to learn about Aurora photography. In case we don't have availability on a given day you wish to join us, please send us an email and we see, what can we do about it. Please contact us, if you want to get the rate of the tour, if there are less than 8 of you.
