Norway is well-known for its rich natural beauty. The north of the country is occupied by beautiful islands that worth the visit. The islands are filled with everlasting beauty. While winter offers travelers with beautiful snowy wonderlands, summer offers wildflowers, blissful beaches, and dazzling, slow-motion sunsets. But that’s not all of it, one thing that no traveler would ever want to miss on their visit to Northern Norway is the beautiful Northern lights. It is one of the most common reasons that make the place a must-visit place on everyone’s bucket list.

The Northern lights are one of the most beautiful natural phenomena. At night when the sky gets dark, the lights, also called aurora borealis appears in the sky. The colour palette of blue, green, violet, and pink look as if they are dancing across the sky. This phenomenon is really magical and makes anyone falls in love with the view. The best way to feel the magical experience of the dancing lights is not by swiping through its images on Google, Instagram or Facebook, or watching videos about it on YouTube, but being actually there beneath the lights itself and witnessing how beautiful nature can be. There is only joy, love, and peace to feel beneath the auroras.

While there are several places where you can see the aurora borealis, Northern Light Tour in Tromso is definitely the most interesting and comfortable place to witness the lights for two reasons. First, because the place lies just beneath the auroral oval and the second because the north of Norway has a huge geographical area, that is filled with beautiful and exciting places. In Northern Norway, you will truly experience the magical lights all through the polar night.

The place has everything from stunning cities to cozy villages with enchanting mountains and serene lakes. This means, your journey to see the magical lights, is going to get a lot more fun. You can enjoy a little bit of hiking and experience the Sami culture along the way. Or sail on the beautiful sea on a Luxury Yacht Arctic Queen  or on A Luxury Catamaran Arctic Princes, or enjoy the ride on your search for Northern Lights on an Eco-friendly Tesla Model X electric car- a great way to experience the wilderness in the dark from Tromso city.

What does it feel like to see the Northern Lights?

«It is magical, simply magical. You think you must be dreaming, especially when you catch an outbreak from the start. It just comes from nowhere… and keeps moving and changing shape! It’ s like someone is doing a huge watercolour painting, in real time, across the canvas of the dark black sky. This is nature’s own silent movie show, awe-inspiring, majestic and ethereal that leaves you feeling stunned, reminded once again of the incredible beauty of nature. And somewhat grateful that you’ve had the opportunity to see it».
