Overview

  • Join a small-group Northern Lights chase with Arctic Glow, a family-run company led by locals born and raised in Northern Norway. Each evening, we use weather forecasts, live data, aurora activity, and local knowledge to plan the tour.

    As conditions change, we adapt the route in search of clear skies — near Tromsø, along the coast, inland, or across the border into Finland or Sweden.

    When the Northern Lights appear, your guide will take portrait photos of guests who would like them. Edited photographs will be emailed the following day.

    Hot drinks, local snacks, and homemade cake are included. The small-group format, flexible route, and genuine Northern Norwegian hospitality create a personal experience shaped by the conditions.
