10 THINGS YOU SHOULD KNOW BEFORE BOOKING A NORTHERN LIGHTS TOUR

You have so little knowledge about this, why do you do video like this ? Do you have any understanding of kp indeks and Bz ? I think not, because you are so far out !

Thanks for the video! Summon up memories: I grew up until I was 17 years old in the region, and since then lived abroad for 50 years, and I remember from childhood when, on a cold evening, coming and going to the outdoor sauna, we saw the northern lights in the sky, so we children were advised that when you whistle, the Northern Lights change their shape. Can you imagine when we sisters stood on a snow trail on a frosty night and tried to whistle with stiff lips, and you know what, the northern lights really changed shape! 😮😃😄
Try it yourself! 😁 ❤

Hi, I'll be in London Feb 3rd I was planning to book a flight to Tromso and a chasing tour there, but I was unaware of all this info. I'm also considering to go to Kiruna then Abiko, since I heard there are higher chances there, so without a tour I would stay for 2 or 3 days expecting to see them.
Now I am very confused about what to do. Please can u give some advice? Thank u so much for the information ❤😊

BE THERE NEXT WEEK

CANT WAIT

Thank you for your video as it explains things clearly for 'Aurora virgins'. I have experienced the Northern Lights in Tromso in 2019 and Iceland in 2022, but on December 1st 2023 I was able to see them from a hill just ten minutes away from my house in central Scotland. There was a G3 magnetic storm due around 9pm that evening and the Kp-index was expected to be 6.67. It was a cold frosty clear night and although there was bright moon and lots of light pollution, I succeeded in getting a nice series of four photos during the height of activity in the sky. I am looking forward to their being another opportunity during the next couple of months.

Hello
Really good information in your video, I enjoyed it , thank you

Could you tell me the times of year that you visited please

Thank you 🙂

I'll be Oslo from 28Jan to 10feb, just to see northern light I am planning to visit Tromso. Should I pre book flights, hotels, and tour now or wait till last moment to make sure weather forecast and solar activity is there and then make my booking. I just have 1 night to visit Tromso.

What tour do you recommend? We are going in February
Thank you x

Hello nice video! Just one note: kp is a 1-9 scale, and it indicates how far from the northern circle they can be visible. If it's 9 that means its a global storm and can even be seen from Turkey just like it did on November 6 2023, but if it's 1, and if you're in the polar circle, then you can still see it. Kp indicates how far it reaches outside northern circle. I saw many bright and green northern lights on kp levels 3-4 :) Have a nice day

Really it is an amazing video. Very well detailed has been described. I enjoyed thoroughly and would like to appreciate your work.

Going to Tromso Next week super excited! thanks for sharing your experience; LOVE all your videos!!!

Thank you so much for such simple yet really really clarifying tips. These are really practical and you have explained in such a simple way . Thank you 😊

That's why I'm taking at least a month in the Faroe Islands next month 💪instead of only a week at Xmas.

It's pronounced eyes, not highs 😊

let me just add a very important thing here: before booking a 200€/pP+ Tour, SERIOUSLY consider renting a car. Pick a cloud cover app and do exactly what you said, chase clear sky. With a tiny bit of thought put in the process you'll automatically end up in the places other people are brought to with buses and vans but you paid around 60€/day for however many ppl fit into the car you get (4ppl for the 60€ one, it's a standard toyota normal size from hertz in tromso for ex) and they 00 and more for one evening. A car drives however long YOU want, you can stop when YOU want to, drive where you want to go and bring food with you however you like, put equipment in the trunk, not depending on anyone. The tours are good if you a) have a LOT of money to burn and b) dont feel confident driving in snow/ice (which is no problem tbh but ppl are different, tires are all ice ready anyway there on rentals) and c) if you for whatever reasona re just extremely lazy. IF you want to book a tour anyway then: Go the extra mile and book a private one, I wouldnt recommend the big ones with larges busses, we seen them on our travels multiple times and they have difficulties maneuvering on many roads so you'll stay mostly main roads with them.

First of all. Know that is radiation, and you are already being effected by it. So don't go there. We are programmed by our DNA as to what we receive. If you go there you may get things wrong inside of you. And not survive. 😢

I’m going to Iceland in June, do you think we are going to get views of Northern Lights?

Hi I’m wishing to book a solo trip In December for 5 nights to see the Northern Lights. I know it’s all down to chance. Which country and place do you recommend? I don’t want to travel for hours 😅❤

I hope the person who try to see the northern light find this clip first. I went to Tromso for 3 nights but I didn't see that because It's very cloudy. Fortunately, I saw the northern light at Lofoten instead.Even KP index is low but finally I see them. This clip very helpful and I agree with you every 10 things. And thank the Norwegian that I bumped into, every person cross finger and bless me. haha 😄

Hello, can you share the name or the website of the tour you booked?

Thank you so much for the real advice. Much appreciated.

Very informative video, a quick qestion, whether its good to travel in march to tromso?

Your video gave me so much hope!!! We just started traveling and Norway is the first place I chose as I really wanted to see the northern lights. We are leaving in 10 days. Hope we get lucky enough 🤞

Great recommendations! Thanks! I’m going to Alta, Norway this winter… I will let you know how it goes… if I survive to those temperatures. 😅

Hey, do you think mid-September also will be visible cause I am going to Tromso on 13-18 September?

Thanks for your suggestions, heated socks are a good choice!

im off to norway to see the lights in mid november. decided it was time as i hadnt seen them since i lived in the far north of canada

My husband and I are going early November to see the Northern lights in Tromso! Have you been during that time? We are trying to figure out what boots and clothes we need to buy.

Very helpful and useful video. Which tour would you recommend for northern light in Tromso? Is mid to end of march 2024 still likely to see the northern light ?

so basically seeing the nothern lights is legit rng?

Helpful. Thank you! Was there a tour company you preferred?

Excellent eplanation

Suggest one or two reliable websites to book Northern light chase tour ....

Hi - Thank you for the informative video! Which would you say is a better place for the Northern Lights in the last week of December - Norway or Finland?
Please let me know!

Awesome and useful video. Thanks so much!

Thank you for this! What month did you go? I am thinking late November for me :)

Thanks for the video. It was helpful. My granddaughter/friend and I are going the first week in February on a Women in the Wild tour through NatHab. Can't wait!!:)

Hi can we click northern lights picture/ video through iphone 13 mini?

How do you pause a video recording using your iPhone?

Excellent I will go ❤❤❤🥶🥶😘🤣🤣😀❤️🥂

I remember when I finally checked the northern lights off my bucket list at the beginning of 2022 in Iceland. I’ve seen a good show one of the nights, and a grayish haze the other nights, but I’ve seen even more intense shows from northern Minnesota, with the last one being so intense it filled the whole sky with fluorescent green pillars and pink flashes, lasting from dusk to dawn. At its peak, the sky looked like it was glitching from the extremely fast flashes combined with the jagged green pillars. The storm that caused those insane auroras ranked as G4 (Kp 8), the second strongest ranking for geomagnetic activity (Kp index ranges from 0-9). If seeing the northern lights is on your bucket list, make it happen. Seeing them is already breathtaking, but seeing an extremely strong aurora storm is something else.

Thank you so much!🙂

Thank you for your detailed and useful video. I am planning to visit Tromso in Mid October 2023 and February 2024. My thought is : in Oct or Feb, the night time is fairly long enough for hunting aurora and another good thing is ...Oct or Feb will be less cold.
Shall I book the Northern light tour before I set off to Tromso or I shall book the tour after i arrive Tromso? Thank you for your advise!
PS: 2024 will be the solar maximum where the solar activities will be more active.

Can you please say at which time of the year is best to visit norway to see northern lights?

Beautiful display over most of the UK past couple of nights very intense! I live in rural Midlands on vast farmland was enjoining it in my backgarden

Can you suggest how to go ivalo to tromso in December by road or any bus?
