“Mother Natures own disco lights”

Writes Sandra MacGregor, a forbes contributor.  

The stream of multicolored streams of beauty and light captures an imaginative feat that is beyond spectacle. Ever thought of floating paint, spritzed across the sky. And as you stare towards the heavens, there is just something about this experience that makes it unforgettable. 

In the heart of Norway’s Tromso Ciy, you will be chasing these floating beauties. Full of excitement, magnificence and enchanting memory, the thought of your vacation to the Aurora will always delight your mind.

For many like you, experiencing the aurora is your dream. As a traveller, it is more like a muslim’s pilgrimage to mecca. Hence, the goal is to provide you guidance on how to spend convenient time in your quest for the northern lights. We do not want you spending time, money and resources chasing the aurora in a destination where the skies are not clear.

Welcome to Tromso, Norway

The city of Tromso is a popular destination for watching the northern lights. Right in the heart of the Northern Light Oval, this is the only location to have the highest probability of seeing the dancing colors. The best season is between September and April. But this wholly depends on prevailing weather conditions. Sometimes travellers flying between Oslo and Tromso are able to view the Northern lights during their flight. However, we cannot bet on that all the time.

A view experience of the Aurora could involve a boat trip, an overnight visit, a 7-day vacation, a drive or any travel adventure filled with nightlife activities. However, this should all take time during the Aurora months outlined above.

It is important to plan your trip to Tromso in advance. Three months ahead is suitable. This is because most popular hotels are booked full whenever there is a northern light forecast.

Also maintain a close eye with forecasts to keep track of any information concerning the Aurora. This will come in handy while planning your trip. The most reliable service for aurora forecasts is the Aurora Net.
