Welcomed by the Northern Lights - First time seeing the northern lights, and it was truly magical! We almost didn’t make it since our flight was cancelled due to airport issues. Alshemal was very accommodating and responsive from booking all the way through the tour and even after.
We felt so lucky because we didn’t have to chase or wait for the aurora - it was just there, waiting for us! Clearly visible just 15mins outside the city. Just wished we had asked for more pictures. We were told the next location is much better — but unfortunately, the aurora didn’t appear again when we reached the frozen lake. In hindsight, maybe we should have stayed, but we understand how unpredictable it can be. Still, such an unforgettable experience. We got this photo printed out (see below). Thank you Alshemal.

The Chase was great! Be patient when it’s cloudy. Your guide will find breaks in the clouds. - The Chase was Great!
We met up at the cruise port in Breivika by our guide Jinyar at 18:20. It was overcast and he was deciding whether to go to the coast or to Finland. He decided to drive to the coast!
We drove north of Hansnes where we had our first spotting 21:29. We then started back towards Hansnes and parked in a turnout at 21:41.
We watched the lights move from east to west. While we were watched the lights, Jinyar setup a fire and provided us some hot drinks (tea or hot chocolate) and snacks.
He took pictures of everyone with the lights in the background. We were at the turnout until around 00:30. Everyone in the group had a great time.
When we return to Tromso, we’ll use Alshemal Norway for our Northern Lights Chase.

Light it up! - Zein did an incredible job chasing the northern lights. The lights did not disappoint. I have heard that some tours go out and never see them but that was not our experience at all. We saw all the lights, then we had a campfire and Zein told us some of the history of the country and the science behind the lights. We even got to see a proposal…she said yes! It was a magical night for all.

Worth it. - This was an amazing experience. They picked us up from our accommodation in Alarmvegen in a comfortable van. The guide (whose name I forget but he was great) explained that we were going to a lookout spot that looked good, but that we might change course depending on the clouds, forecast, etc. He had a headset and was watching a bunch of weather data on his phone so who knows, but it felt legit lol. The sky in Tromsø was completely overcast earlier but by the time we got to the spot it was very clear. It was VERY cold but he built a fire, gave us hot chocolate and marshmallows, and it was lovely.
Highly recommend:
- Bring hand warmers. You'll have your hands out of your gloves a lot to take pictures. We had the kind where you snap the metal thing inside and they were a lifesaver.
- They do provide body suits but we didn't need them. It was only about -1 C.
- Choose a time when there's less of a moon. The moonlight makes the aurora quite grey to the naked eye (but the photos still look amazing). We did get one strong one where we could see all the colors even with the full moon though, so if you've already booked during full moon, don't worry! You'll still see them!
- Genuinely, don't lose hope if the weather looks awful. Obviously it's never guaranteed, but the sky at the lookout point was completely clear while Tromsø was overcast, and it was only 1.5 hours drive away.
- Do eat dinner first.
- We saw the large bus tours and even though this one is a lot more expensive, I'm glad we did it. There were busses at the same spot, but we got the fire and our own area where it was just such a stunning experience. I was agonizing over the cost, and to be fair I felt better about it after we saw some amazing aurora, but even the baseline experience was really nice.

the driver tried his best but 9 hours travelling was too long - the whole tour took 9 hours and we were travelling for about 8 trying to find the lights. The driver tried his best but the group felt it was far too long and experience would have shown there was no chance on this particular evening. The mini bus was quite old and uncomfortable , especially sitting near the draft door. fortunately were were able to see them on a boat cruise later in the week.
