  • We spent 3 days exploring Tromsø in Norway.
    During this time we were able to explore the city of Tromsø, discover the nearby fjords by land and sea and went on two hunts to find a glimpse of the Northern Lights.
    For the whale watching tour we used Arctic Adventure Tours - arcticadventure...
    For the Northern Lights and Fjord Excursion tours we used Chasing Lights - chasinglights.co/

    Hi Shane,
    So nice to see your vid. I was there working as a guide last season and Im so happy to see that you seem to have gotten the most out of the adventure that it is to travel to Tromsø.
    All the best!

      TheReisetante where is a good place to stay in tromso to go see the northern lights?

    • @shanemcgrath14
      @shanemcgrath14  6 лет назад

      Hi Edward, the northern lights are unpredictable due to weather so you're best to stay in Tromso and use that as a base. One night we nearly ended up in Finland and the next by the coast.

      Shane Mc Grath yea I’ll be there for 7 days so I’m hoping that I find it no matter how long the distance is lol I’m also going to buy that like tourist package for the whale watching and sledding and lights so I’m hoping I’ll be able to see it with the lady

    • @shanemcgrath14
      @shanemcgrath14  6 лет назад

      Hi Eric Beckett are you still having issues booking? I tried to book there and it seemed to work fine. Alternatively, you should email them and ask to book away from the website. I hope this helps

    • @shanemcgrath14
      @shanemcgrath14  7 лет назад +1

      Hi Barbora, I was there at the end of October. It was a great time to go as the Northern Lights were visible, the whale watching had just started and the snow was just starting to fall so it wasn't too cold.

  • @eddie02129122
    @eddie02129122 6 лет назад

    Where is a good place to stay in tromso to go venture and see the northern lights? Or should I just buy like that northern light Aurora’s tour pass

    • @shanemcgrath14
      @shanemcgrath14  6 лет назад

      Hi Edward, the northern lights are unpredictable due to weather so you're best to stay in Tromso and use that as a base. We went with a tour company Chasing Lights (chasinglights.com) and as their name suggests they chase the lights. One night we nearly ended up in Finland and the next by the coast.

    It was in November ? I wonder if in early March we can see northern lights :S

    • @shanemcgrath14
      @shanemcgrath14  6 лет назад

      Paulina Vázquez Quintana yes this video was filmed in October/November. It’s definitely possible to see them in March. However like every other month it all depends on the weather conditions and solar activity.

    Hi, how did you film the northern lights?

    • @shanemcgrath14
      @shanemcgrath14  6 лет назад

      cowtan228 I used a really high ISO and slowed down the shutter speed to about 3 seconds in order to capture it

    • @cowtan228
      @cowtan228 6 лет назад

      Hi Shane, in video mode?

    • @shanemcgrath14
      @shanemcgrath14  6 лет назад

      cowtan228 I used similar settings, high ISO and longer shutter speeds. The settings will change based on the conditions and colours you want.

    hi nice vid 🙂🤗 can u please tell me from where u can see the northern lights in tromso? and where is this place where u saw whales and how many days u need to cover this full trip in tromso

    • @shanemcgrath14
      @shanemcgrath14  6 лет назад +1

      Hi titir, thanks for the comment. I used a company called Chasing Lights (chasinglights.co/) for both the Northern Lights and whale watching. I was in Tromso for 3-4 full days. The whale watching is done in the morning and the northern lights trip goes in the evening then.

      Nice video. I see you used a drone. What's the law in using them in Norway tromso

    • @ericbeckett4474
      @ericbeckett4474 6 лет назад +1

      Hi I am here in March no whales until October the lights are visable all over tromso however you need to be away from lights to see them properly i used tromsosafari minibus auroras tour its 4 hours and they take you to the best viewpoints and best backgrounds for pics and they will take pictures for you. Take a small led torch to enhance the foreground of your pics don't go on the boat to take photos of the lights because you need night settings and the boat is movingly will get blurring The lights came out 3 times and it was spectacular hope this helps
      Don't forget extra batteries for cameras

    Die Aufnahmen sind nicht schlecht, aber die "Hinter"grund Musik geht garnicht.
