Top 10 Photography Tours in Tromso, Northern Norway

March 20, 2022 Hector Krause

The fjords and mountain ranges of Tromso are simply magical. Here, the northern lights sparkle across the same navy blue sky that's illuminated by the midnight sun. You'll be spellbound by Tromso's enchanting fishing villages, fragrant botanical gardens and crystalline waterfalls. Music is a major part of the Tromso culture, particularly techno and electronic music, which adds some thumping thunder to the city once a year during the annual Insomnia Festival.

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 tour was so lovely! Govind was very friendly, knowledgable and great at looking after people in the cold outdoors. The lights came out to play, and it had been very cloudy weather so we were very lucky! He took some great professional pictures of the lights with us and sends them to us the next day. We had plenty of hot chocolate, biscuits and sausages which we cooked ourselves on an open fire. We did have to travel to Finland to get to the lights, but for me that added to the experience of being in a rural area and also shows that Govind really wanted to find the best spot for us. Recommend highly to book with Green Fox.

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

Unfortunately, after a sunny day, the clouds came before departure. So no sunset. We did get the choice to get our money back, or get a trip around Tromsø. Everyone chose the last option. For me it was worth it. Amazing on this boat with speed and "playing" with the waves. Watching eagles and heron in "daylight" at night. The guide was really nice and knew a lot.
