Description - What to expect

Start your Tromso Northern Lights tour with a pickup at Samuel Arnesens gate 7 and take a 90-minute drive to the wilderness center of Camp Tamok. The camp itself is located in an ideal climate zone and you can expect mostly dry weather with clear skies.

Upon arrival, you will be warmly greeted by your guide and outfitted with the essential gear including thermal suits, boots, and gloves, ensuring comfort and warmth for the evening ahead.

We will start the evening with a presentation about the Northern Lights (the Aurora Borealis) and give some tips on how to photograph them. Depending on the weather conditions, we will take you on a short walk to different locations around the camp from where the northern lights can be observed.

The camp itself is located in an untouched wilderness surrounded by darkness, far removed from the bright city lights. The area lies in a drier climate zone with clear inland mountain weather generating many cloud-free night skies in winter. If all factors line up and we get a display of the northern lights, we will spend as much time as we can outside to make sure you’ll experience the magic to the fullest.

Ensuring you stay warm and comfortable, we will serve a hot meal around the open fire inside one of the lávvus (indigenous Sámi tent). After dinner, the evening at Camp Tamok has come to an end and it is time to board the bus and return to Tromsø.
