This is hands down yhe best informative video about Northern lights that I found on YT. Thanks a lot for making this😊 Could you please also let me know specifically which chasing tour and with which operator to book? My wife and I are planning a travel to Tromsø from Sweden this February and Northern lights has been on our bucket list since we were kids.

@coolchandra Thank you so much for your lovely comment! That means so much! The tour company we used was The Green Adventure and they were brilliant! Their website is www.thegreenadventure.no. Good luck on your trip to Tromsø! I really am hoping you will get to see them. Keep us posted and let us know how your trip went. We’re off to Kiruna, Sweden in February to chase them again. 😀

Super informative! Many thanks for making it!! You are very good for your 1st time in front of the camera too! BTW, it seems a UFO passed by from 11:41 to 11:45 in the video! Am I right?

@awajikeiko Thank you so much! I was so nervous while filming that video, would you believe? 😃 And wow! I didn't even notice that in the video! You've got a good eye! I'd like to think that it was a UFO but I think it may have been a plane...a super fast one! Haha! Thanks again for watching!

Hello po! New subs here… been looking for a clear information about Tromso and Im happy i found your video. Question lng po, possible pa rin po bang mag Reindeer Sleigh around 4th week of October. I hope mapansin nyo po messge ko. Thank you

@worthytravels 2 ай бұрын

@TitaJoyinDubai Hi Tita Joy! Thank you po for subscribing and for watching our video! Honestly po, baka wala pa pong snow sa October. Umuulan pa kasi sa October. To guarantee snow, mas magandang pumunta sa January or February. Pero kung pupunta po kayo sa October, visit the reindeer farm. It’s a lot of fun! Nakakatuwa po yung mga reindeer. I hope this helps! 🙂

@@worthytravels Thank you so much for replying. 4th week of Oct this yr ang plan. My husband and I would love to experience winter in Norway pero hindi possible ang schedule. May I ask po what other activities we can do in Tromso aside po sa Reindeer visit? I’ve been watching lots of videos and somehow Oct is also a good to time for Aurora🤞🏻🤞🏻🤞🏻

@worthytravels 2 ай бұрын

@@TitaJoyinDubai you’re welcome and oh yes! October is part of Northern Lights season but I would suggest going with a tour group so they can drive you to far away places to see the Northern Lights if they don’t show up in Tromsø. Other things you can do are: 1) whale watching 2) visit the fjords - Kvaløya and Sommeroy 3) going for a boat cruise 4) Take the cable car (fjellheisen) and hike at the top of the mountain. 5) Explore the city of Tromso 🙂 Also check the weather for clear skies and on the day when it’s predicted to be clear, I suggest booking your tour for that particular date.

Thank you so much for such an informative video! I will be looking to stay in tromso for 2 weeks in november-december this year. i have 2 kids aged 6 and 2 will that be more of a challenge chasing the northen lights, if so what do you recommend my i do? its my life dream to see the northen lights! thank you in advance 🙏

@worthytravels 8 ай бұрын

@khaledh3365 you're very welcome and thank you so much for the lovely comment! I'm so excited for you, especially since late November - December is a great time to visit Tromso. With regards to chasing the Northern Lights with kids in tow, I suggest three things: 1) get in touch with tour companies and see if they can accommodate children. 2) if you don't find any luck doing that, I recommend hiring a very comfortable rental car, research safe and easy places to possibly drive to where you can wait for the aurora to arrive. If you get lucky, you might not even have to go very far from Tromso to see the Northern Lights. 3) Another place you can go to with your family is Mount Storsteinen and take the cable car (fjellheisen) up there. It closes at 12 AM and that will give you plenty of time to wait for them to appear. If you need more info, watch our Tromso video. I covered the Fjellheisen in that video. kzbin.info/www/bejne/mqm5hYajes6Cidk I hope this helps!

hello, do you think March 2nd week would be a good time to vissit Tromso ? We checked the moon calendar and it shows a no moon day (around 8th-9th March)

@worthytravels 9 ай бұрын

Hi there ! March is still Northern Lights season and if the forecast shows no moon, that would be good. If you can, check for clear skies too. No moon could mean cloudy skies as well. Sending good vibes your way! 🙂

@PyroFacinatioN 9 ай бұрын

March is by far the best month, and to up your chances of seeing it by around 90%, get out of the city to view it. You need minimal light pollution. This is why you'll notice all the good photos are taken in remote areas. It's very rare to see a full blown aurora directly above the city. Even when active, you won't be able to see it properly. Outside of the city, in march, you'll have very good odds, and the actual aurora will be much more spectacular. Sincerely, a local

@worthytravels 9 ай бұрын

@@PyroFacinatioN Thank you so much for the information! Advice from a local is extremely helpful. I agree, remote areas are the best. We just got very fortunate that they showed up while we were in the city. Thank you as well for reiterating our advice to avoid areas with light pollution (as mentioned in the video). We are headed to Kiruna next month to (hopefully) see them in another remote part of Scandinavia

Hi, i want to plan a trip in November before i go back to the states, im already in europe and just want to know if its common for it to rain or be cloudy at beginning of November

@worthytravels 8 ай бұрын

Hi there, sorry for the late reply. Which place in Europe are you referring to? If it’s Tromso or anywhere within that area, the wettest time of the year is commonly during October and may trickle towards the beginning of November. I suggest monitoring the weather closely towards your travel date to see what the forecast is like. But the good news is: November is part of Northern Lights season. 😊 Are you able to visit closer to the end of the month?

@wowking5510 8 ай бұрын

@@worthytravels omg i wasnt specific, im going to visit tromso in November and the first week of November and wanted to know how rare it is for it to rain or snow in the first week, im trying to photograph the auroras, and beginning of the month theres no full moons

@worthytravels 8 ай бұрын

@wowking5510 The beginning of November could be wet. However, no full moons is a great sign! We were in Kiruna, Sweden last week and the moon, even though it wasn’t a full moon, prevented us from seeing the aurora during two of the nights that we were there. It was too bright! Thankfully, we got lucky during the other nights we were there. Also, around November 21st is when it starts to get clear and the polar night begins. So more time for you to see them, which explains why I asked if you are able to move your trip to a later time in the month. 🙂

Hi can you please suggest some reliable car renting companies in norway as we are travelling from India in november and we have never tried self driving in snow. Some good car renting companies with driver and cost will be extremely helpful. Thanks

@worthytravels 5 ай бұрын

@barnalibhattacharjee5640 unfortunately, we don’t really have a specific one that we can recommend. However, all of the rental car companies have well equipped cars for snow. All their fleet cars have snow tires and they are always willing to go the extra mile to help with any questions or concerns that you may have. The last company we used in Sweden was Alamo. And they were excellent.
