We are happy to offer you our Tromso Photo Tour, from March the 4th to the 11th, 2023, a great opportunity to capture the Northern Lights. Tromso is known as ‘The Capital of the Arctic’, so you can guess the kind of sceneries you are going to find here. Winter landscape at its best, in one of the most spectacular destinations in Europe, with a precious city surrounded of the wildest Arctic locations.
At the same time, Tromso is world famous for its great chances to see the Northern Lights. Given its high latitude location, we can surely say it’s one the best towns on Earth for it. Furthermore, once you leave the city, there are dozens of locations with no light pollution, ideal to shoot at night. This way, we are talking about one of the best options for Northern Lights photography.
This will be a 6 day long photo tour, incredibly intense, and plenty of photo opportunities. Both during the day and during the nights, we will be enjoying all the magical scenes in and around Tromso.
This Tromso Photo Tour is totally focused on Northern Lights and winter landscape photography. Although most photo lovers visiting Tromso get there to chase the Northern Lights, the possibilities for landscape photography during the daytime are simply outstanding.
Tromso is so far North that chances to see the photograph during the winter are really high. Regardless the solar activity, if the sky is not overcast, we’ll be likely able to capture these beautiful lights. Therefore, staying in the area for 6 nights, we will have very high possibilities to photograph the Auroras Borealis. At the same time, there are countless wonderful locations ideal to capture the Northern Lights, so we will be trying luck from some of them during the trip.
We’ll do our best to help you capturing this magical Nature show, teaching you how to photograph the Northern Lights.
However, we’ll be also enjoying the fabulous possibilities for landscape photography during the trip. The impressive sceneries in and around Tromso will allow us to capture fabulous landscape pictures.

The Arctic landscapes around Tromso will include spectacular views of fjords, seascapes, mountains, forests and frozen lakes. All of those wonderful sceneries will look precious, covered by a gorgeous winter blanket. Every day of the trip, we’ll visit a different area, looking for the best golden light in those amazing locations.
We’ll be paying special attention to the best moments of light each day, sunrise and sunset. Given this, we’ll make sure to stay at the top locations during those moments.
We are hosting this Tromso Photo Tour at this time of the year based only on photography purposes. Firstly, this is one of the best moments in the year for seeing the Northern Lights.

At the same time, we are searching for the enchanting winter conditions. During March, being so far North will surely guarantee us that we’ll see the most precious snowy scenes. Visiting all those magical locations under a wonderful snow blanket, will bring us constant chances for amazing pictures.
Finally, we would like to highlight the precious Arctic light that we will be enjoying in March. At this latitude, the sun will always be quite low in the sky during the winter months, something which will mean that the light will be constantly soft and nice, ideal for photography.

As there will be few hours of daylight, and taking into account that we’ll have breakfast not so early, we will usually not be so hungry at midday, so we’ll be normally buying food at supermarkets (fruit, snacks, sandwiches, etc…), andwe’ll have that food for lunch. Then, we will have dinner at restaurants in towns.
