DID YOU KNOW THAT THE ANCIENT WORD FOR THE NORTHERN LIGHTS HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH HOW THEY LOOK, BUT HOW THEY SOUND? 🌌
⠀
In the Sámi language, the aurora is called Guovssahas, which translates directly to "the light you can hear."
⠀
To the indigenous Sámi people, the lights weren't just a pretty display. They were the souls of ancestors dancing across the sky - a moving bridge to the spirit realm. Because of this, the aurora demanded absolute respect, leading to strict traditional taboos:
🤫 Keep quiet: Making noise or shouting under the lights was highly discouraged out of respect for the spirits.
❌ Never whistle or wave: Teasing or waving at the aurora was forbidden. It was believed that whistling would alert the spirits, causing the lights to swoop down and carry you away.
⠀
Even today, when you stand under a powerful, fast-moving night sky in the Arctic, it’s easy to understand why these stories feel so real. The energy up here genuinely commands your respect.

📍Still planning to hit the trails in Tromsø this summer? The Arctic nature is amazing, but it can be unpredictable!
Here is a quick checklist of what you need to know before you go:
⠀
1️⃣ PACK LAYERS.
The weather changes fast up here. A sunny start can quickly turn into a windy or rainy afternoon. Always bring a windproof and waterproof jacket.
⠀
2️⃣ WEAR PROPER HIKING BOOTS.
Even in August, the trails can be very muddy and wet. Good waterproof shoes will make your hike much more comfortable.
⠀
3️⃣ CHECK THE SUNSET.
The Midnight Sun season is over and the nights are getting darker again. The days are still long, so there is no need to rush, but you can no longer hike at any time of the night. Make sure to check the sunset time before you head out.
⠀
4️⃣ LEAVE NO TRACE.
Arctic nature is beautiful but fragile. Always stay on the paths and bring all your trash back with you.
⠀
5️⃣ CHOOSE A LOCAL GUIDE.
If you lack hiking experience, joining an organised tour is a safer choice. It is also a great way to support the local community!

Here is a quick breakdown to help you plan ahead:
🌌 Peak season (December to February): Book 2 to even 6 months in advance. These months are the busier winter period, and dates around Christmas, New Year, and February holidays fill up very quickly.
⠀
🌌 Autumn & late spring (September to November & March to April): Book at least 1 to 2 months ahead. These are fantastic months for chasing the aurora with slightly milder temperatures, but small-group seats still go fast.
⠀
⚠️ Small group capacity: We strictly limit our tour sizes to give everyone a quality, personal experience away from the big tour buses, which means total seats per night are limited.
⠀
✅ Planning multiple nights: If you want to book two or three hunts during your stay to increase your chances of clear skies, booking early guarantees you get the specific dates you want.
⠀
Securing your spot early takes the stress out of planning so you can focus on enjoying your time in the Arctic!

The midnight sun is officially over! What exactly does this mean for the Tromsø region and your upcoming trips?
⠀
🌙 The night is back: We are finally getting our dark nights back. The hours of darkness will slowly increase every single day from now until the Polar Night arrives in November.
⠀
☀️ Plenty of daylight: Don't worry, it is not completely dark yet! We still have very long days in August and September, leaving us with plenty of daylight to enjoy the outdoors.
⠀
🌌 Northern Lights are returning: The end of the midnight sun and the increasing darkness mean just one thing for us - the aurora will be visible very soon.
⠀
🚐 Season prep: Our Northern Lights tours officially kick off in September. We are currently getting everything ready, prepping the vans, and we can't wait to be back on the hunt!

SUMMER IN TROMSØ ☀️🌿
June was a fantastic month to be out in the wilderness, so we put together a little photo album to show you what it looked like.
⠀
The snow has melted, everything is turning green, and we have been making the most of the endless daylight!
⠀
Here is what our June looked like:
☀️ Explored the quieter island routes at our own pace.
☀️ Experienced the fjords in all kinds of weather, rain or shine.
☀️ Making sure to stop, sit back with a warm drink, and actually enjoy the scenery.
☀️ Experienced the midnight sun on our evening trips. It gives the evenings a kind of magic and atmosphere you won't find anywhere else.
⠀
Take a look through the photos from our recent trips! Which one makes you want to pack your hiking boots the most? 👇
