We do not suggest trying to wait until the last minute to book a tour for the following reasons: we are usually fully booked well in advance for our most popular tours, as are other tour companies in Tromsø. By booking last minute you may not be able to find a tour company with any availability remaining.
In addition, weather in coastal northern Norway is highly variable and forecasts are not always easy to interpret. The weather you experience in Tromsø city center is not necessarily representative of where our tours will be heading. Our guides are experts in weather reading and will choose the best possible destination for each tour based on the current conditions.
We would suggest considering choosing a team, such as ours, with many years of experience in the region and thoroughly trained guides, that way, whichever you choose the odds are in your favour. We can assure you that most of our guests have traveled from all corners of our Earth and we will do everything in our power to (safely) find gaps in the clouds to see any activity. We are committed every day of the season, regardless if it is the beginning or the end - the rest is up to nature.
