The environmental conditions here are very dynamic. Changes occur so fast that it's impossible to predict the pattern within a few days. Our guides are experienced in reading short-term constantly updated weather forecasts and they do their best to find gaps within cloud cover to spot the northern lights. In addition, the weather you experience in Tromsø city centre is not necessarily representative of where the tour will be heading.

When we assess the environmental conditions we are primarily looking for gaps in the clouds. We have access to coastal regions and also inland valleys and onwards to Finland.

Thanks to our microclimates, we can usually find gaps in the clouds even on seemingly impossible nights. For this reason, Tromsø is considered the best area in regards to opportunity to see the Northern Lights. Tromsø island has its own microclimate, so conditions here are not representative of the region at all. Do not look up "Tromsø weather" and expect a correct forecast for anywhere other than the city centre.

By choosing to explore the Arctic with an experience team as ours, you are maximising your chances of finding the gaps in the clouds and experiencing aurora show.
