3 single days on a Northern Lights Holiday
Located in the middle of the northern lights belt, Tromso can offer some of the highest levels of northern lights activity on earth. Tromso city is situated among islands, breathtaking fjord landscapes and dramatic mountain peaks. Perhaps Tromso is the world's best place for a Northern Lights Holiday – especially if you also enjoy city life.
Join one of our Northern Lights Holidays this winter. It could become one of your greatest experiences. You will take part in a search for Aurora Borealis through some of the most staggering landscapes in the Arctic. With three nights you have a really good chance to see the lights! You may take 3 nights in a row or spread them as you prefer.
