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 :)

It has been said that it is a privilege to see the "Lights" dancing on the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere.The few lucky of us that do have this wonderful opportunity , never seize to be amazed by the wonders of the Northern Polar Nights. Seeing the Aurora Borealis should be one of those things one must do before ending their journey on this planet. Since my passions revolve around photography, skiing, fishing and I am always seeking for new adventures, I thought I might offer my knowledge and the experience I've gained so far to those of you who are interested in Arctic outdoor activities. I am Andrei and if you are visiting Tromsoe I would be more than happy to offer you my services. My concept for these tours are small groups of people( 8 tops in one group ) willing to go in more secluded and 'off the map' places and enjoying a warm fire, maybe a good laughter, and generally a good time. I would like to further mention that all the photos on this site are taken by me in the places I have discovered and come to love so much and I'll be happy to share them with you. For more information, please contact me.

The Cable Car is Tromsø’s most popular tourist destination. It runs from Solliveien in Tromsdalen up to the mountain ledge Storsteinen. The lower station is located on Tromsø’s mainland, 50 m above sea level, while the upper station, Fjellstua, is situated at an altitude of 421 m above sea level. The trip up takes just four minutes. From the large outdoor terrace, you can enjoy the spectacular panoramic view of Tromsø and the virtually endless sight of islands, fjords, mountains and the open sea. Fjellheisen was built in 1961 by Brød­rene Jakob­sens Rederi, a local shipping company that was a major player in arctic hunting/trapping, fishing and expeditions to the arc­tic and Antarctic. The gondolas proudly convey this tradition by bearing the shipping company’s symbols: the polar bear and the seal.
