Our activities
Tromsø is magical during winter, and offers clear breath taking colors both day and night. Be a part of the dream team and search for the Northern lights that dances on our sky. The contrasts in the colors are so strong... so remember to stop and enjoy the small moments while the experience takes place. You can join our partners on a whale safari during daytime as well.
Our history
We are a small family business that proudly showcases local coastal culture through generations. Our guides have local roots and offer you hospitality from the heart.
For us, it's not just about the Northern Lights, but about experiencing people from all over the world who touch our souls while they are here. It's about the fresh sea air, the silence, a babbling brook, and the beautiful clear colors that Tromsø has to offer.
We are so grateful to be a part of your experience, to be there when Mother Earth reveals herself to you, whether it's summer or winter.

Testemonials from our guests
Eco lighthouse
Nature, the environment, and safety have always been our top priorities on our tours, something we take very seriously. Every aspect of the trip is carefully planned to avoid leaving a footprint in nature. We simply work as sustainably as we can, and collaborating with other businesses is part of that direction. In this way, we save the environment from unnecessary pollution. We clean up after ourselves and others when we're out and about.
We strongly believe that we shouldn't leave any traces for the future, and our motto is "Sustainable thinking for a sustainable future."

Aurora cam
We collaborate with the well-known weatherman Christoph Siegrist from Switzerland who has installed an auroa web cam at our basecamp. It is one of five such cams in Norway and part of a network of aurora cameras in Scandinavia with a total of 16 cameras.
This gives us a compeetitve advantage in that it gives us an aurora alert on our phone when the lights are visible above our basecamp, even through clouds! Take a look at a selection of the latest and greatest images that is taken with the camera.
