About NorthernShots Tours

Our story

Since 2012, we’ve been leading adventurers through the Arctic night in pursuit of nature’s most spectacular light show. What began as passionate locals sharing the aurora’s magic with friends has grown into Tromsø’s most trusted Northern Lights experience. Our reputation as the original “Aurora Chase guys” was built on one simple premise: we go wherever the clear skies lead us.

certified norwegian company

Our brand NorthernShots operates under the legal name “Reise AS” and we are a fully certified Norwegian company that work continuously to implement and comply with new legislation.

Our expertise

With over a decade of aurora hunting and professional photography experience, we’ve mastered the art of tracking and capturing the Northern Lights. Our expert guides and photographers combine deep knowledge of local microclimates with advanced weather tracking to maximize your chances of witnessing this magnificent phenomenon. From September to April, we’re out every night, seeking perfect viewing conditions across Northern Norway’s stunning landscapes.
