Important for All Tours: Avoid Cotton Closest to Skin
For optimal warmth and comfort during our tours, it’s crucial that the layer closest to your skin is not cotton. Cotton retains moisture and will lead to cooling, which can be uncomfortable and potentially hazardous in Arctic conditions.

Marvel at the Auroras
Wool Layers: Ensure you wear two very thick wool layers, with a thick woolen sweater or fleece as your mid-layer, and pack two pairs of very thick wool socks for warmth and comfort.
Additional Gear: Don’t forget a thick hat, warm mittens, and a warm scarf to protect against the cold. If very cold, a face mask can be very useful.
Gear Provided: We provide boots rated for -70°C, and a highly insulated winter suit. A warm meal and drinks are included to keep you cozy while you gaze at the night sky. A campfire, if weather permits, and sitting mattresses are also included.
Capture the Memories: Take home the magic of the auroras; we include quality photography of your tour, ensuring your memories are perfectly captured.
Northern Lights Big Bus Chase from Tromso
Join our Northern Lights Big Bus Chase from Tromso as we search for the clearest skies across Norway, Finland, or Sweden, maximizing your chances of witnessing the auroras.
How to Dress
Base Layer: Wear very thick wool base layers from top to toe, directly against your skin, to retain warmth. Avoid cotton or “thermals” as these absorb moisture and can make you colder. Wool is ideal for staying warm even when damp from body heat.
Mid-Layer: Add a substantial wool sweater, down jacket, or fleece for extra insulation. This layer traps heat and keeps you comfortable in low temperatures.
Outer Layer: Finish with a thick, windproof winter jacket and pants. These should be well-insulated to protect against wind and snow.
Accessories: Wear two pairs of thick wool socks for extra insulation. Complete your outfit with a warm hat, scarf, and mittens. A face mask is recommended on particularly cold nights for added protection.
Footwear: Thick and tall winter boots are essential, so you can walk in snow without it getting inside your shoes. Regular shoes won’t offer enough protection against the Arctic cold.
What’s Included
Travel in a spacious and comfortable bus with an on-board toilet, along with our experienced driver and knowledgeable guides.
Complimentary photos of your tour are provided, available here after your trip: Tour Photos.
We offer hot chocolate, tea, coffee, and snacks, and when conditions allow, we’ll set up a cozy campfire to enhance the experience.
You’ll be supported by a dedicated team committed to going the extra mile—both literally and figuratively—to find the clearest skies and give you the best possible chance of seeing the Northern Lights.

Whale Watching Tour
Encounter the Ocean’s Majestic Creatures
Wool, not down: Wear two very thick wool layers closest to the skin. Wool layers are preferred as down loses its insulating properties when wet. Also bring a warm scarf, and a warm hat.
Essential Gear: We provide boots rated for -50°C, a warm flotation suit, life vest, and ski goggles.
Your clothes may be wet after the tour, so bringing extra warm wool to wear on the way back to Tromsø is advisable.
