The 7 Best Day Trips from in Troms, Northern Norway

August 1, 2021 Brain Ambrose

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.

Thomas and Keneth made a great effort to take us for Northern Lights observation spots. We stopped at several places. The tour provided us with photos and videos. I found them pretty professional and friendly, something you need in Arctic Circle. We managed to see Northern Lights, I took plenty of photos. Recommended.

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!
