Tromso Aurora Hunt in a Small Group of Six with a Local Guide

A 5 to 6 hour hunt for clear sky around Tromsø, leaving at 19:00 and heading in whichever direction the night favours, away from the city lights. Some evenings the group does not have to go far and gets more time standing outside. Others turn into a proper chase before anything is found. Most nights out produce some aurora, though nobody can promise it: this is weather, not a scheduled show. There are several stops through the evening to look, and sometimes the lights are directly overhead. When the weather and the activity allow, there is a longer stop with a bonfire, a prepared meal (a portion of soup or stew) and a hot drink. Six guests is the maximum this season, which is small even by the standards of tours that call themselves small group. A private option exists if you want fewer still.
