🇳🇴Chasing Lights in Tromsø, Norway

- Thomas Hunger is an average German fellow but with a touch of quirkiness-his obsession with the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis). He beams with childish enthusiasm and his eyes light up with wonder every time he talks about this natural phenomenon.
But Thomas is not a visitor seeing it for the first time nor is he just a regular tour guide-Thomas “chases” Aurora like a stormchaser would chase tornados. He is in the business of selling the experience of seeing the Northern Lights even though he can never guarantee his guests that he and his team will succeed in "catching" one. Still, his trips are filled with excitement and frenzy as he constantly consults weather apps to find it, communicates with his team on possible sightings, and crosses open borders into Sweden and Finland with his head fixed skywards, waiting for Aurora to poke out from behind the clouds at night.
When the van they travel in stops his enthusiastic guests get off and plant a thicket of tripods in the snow-cameras pointed up and ISOs boosted high to vividly capture the magical and undulating green waves in the sky.
Thomas runs one of the most successful companies in Tromsø, Norway incidentally called, Chasing Lights. Guests from as far as Malaysia, China, and India make the journey just to be mesmerized by this wash of green that fills the skies of Arctic nights. It’s an experience to cross off the bucket list, his guests often say.

I went to Norway last summer. It was a dream come true. It was the most beautiful country I’ve seen. The Fjords are truly worth every single praise of them. And in winter you have northern lights. You just have so much to offer!
That coupled with secularism, Norway is a dream.
Wow..

3 years back on exactly this day we were in Tromsø. We travelled from Mumbai, India to Tromsø for our honeymoon and words can't even begin to describe how beautiful it is. The first time we went "chasing" the norther lights we got to see just a faint green light in the sky and honestly, I was a bit discouraged. But we decided to go again and I'm glad we did because what we saw that day was nothing short of magical. It was pitch dark where we went, couldn't even see the snow below our feet. We sat inside a lavvu which kept us warm and periodically checked outside but it was still dark. After a couple of minutes we went out once again and we started seeing a faint light in the sky, everyone rushed out and then in a matter of seconds the sky lit up. We could see the snow below us, the river (or some water body) next to us and everything was just amazing. Just when you think it couldn't get any better, the lights started "dancing". The colours changed and it covered pretty much the entire sky :'). I sincerely hope everyone manages to go and experience it because it was an absolute privilege to just stand there and look up! :)
I would love to go to Tromsø for my honeymoon but my future husband seems set on Hawaii or somewhere tropical. Hopefully I can talk him into at least taking a ski trip close by so we can go chase the lights! I’ve always wanted to see the lights and I want to share my dream with him. I feel like him being with me for the moment I’ve been waiting for all these years will make it even better! Also I’m glad you got to see the lights and God bless you :)!!
@@ashlyndallas2024Yeah, it's better to witness it with the one you love :) I really hope you get to see it with him! :D btw, the second tour that I had gone on was with Tromso friluftsenter. The reason I'm mentioning it cause they were really really sweet and accomodating and Knut (our tour guide) was an absolute delight. They obviously don't remember me but I thought of sharing it with you since you're keen on going there and I know that when I go back there I'll be going with them only again :)
How long did the northern Lights lasted in sky?
@@vanshshah6503 It can be minutes or it can be hours.
Awesome testimony- thank you and greetings from NYC! 🤗🌷😄
I remember when I was little my grandfather took me skiing on a lake in the mountains in the evening. After a little while we arrived at one of the little islands in the middle of the lake. We sat there ,drinking hot chocolate and then suddenly ,I looked up and the sky was illuminated by the northern lights .
I felt chills down my spine and I don't think I will ever feel these kind of chills ever again (unless I get to see them again). I will always remember this experience and I hope one day to see them again
Oh lucky !
You got chills because you were so startled by such a massive event in the sky. I felt that when I saw a full blood red moon once. It scared me so much because I wasn't expecting to see that as I rounded a corner on my midnight walk, lol. I got major chills XD I thought I was witnessing an explosion way in the distance. So glad I got my bearings and realized it was the moon!

My hometown! Even my parents are still amazed watching The northern lights every single winter every year. Imagine this in Christmas time! Its amazing.
Can you speak Norwegian
I’m just wondering because you said it was your home town and i’m from Tromsø too
@@sainttr00msoo Selvfølgelig, fra Tromsdalen. Enn du da?
@@theboss12390 fra Fagereng hvis dette blir sent to ganger så kommer det ikke opp på min telefon
Dude let me come visit yall! I want to see this so bad
@@elpapuu07 See you in Tromsø!.
My wife and I saw the Northern Lights in Saariselkä, Finnish Lapland during our honeymoon in 2003. It was totally magical and we can't wait to return to Northern Europe!
Where are you now sir?
@@r.vengatesh166 Singapore.
@@jackyu1143 which month you traveled?
@@hiscamherbackpack We visited from end November to early December 2003. Winter came late so the ground was still hard. Our reindeer sleigh ride was bumpy!
@@jackyu1143 Ok Thanks, I hope feb is also a good time for northern lights
Im 16 at the moment, and starting today I will start saving money so when Im old enough I can emigrate to Norway.
As soon as the ban against Americans going to Europe is lifted after Corona, I'm off. It doesn't take that much to make it there. The tough part would be making a life once you got there.
I had a dream about it and since then I've been trying as hard as possible. Good luck, my dream is coming true no matter what
Go for it.
Me too
These northern lights also appears in Canada.
Brings tears to my eyes, sooo amazing! What a gift to live here in all this beauty, so LUCKY! Reminds me to appreciate it even more, the SPECTRUM of lights we are blessed w here in the Arctic. 😍😍
Thank you for saying that!! It brought tears to my eyes too and I thought I was being weird! XD
In which month did you go there?
I live in Arctic Norway.... 😉
LeNa Then you are really blessed!! Planning to go there (Thomso, Lofoten Island, Abisco ) this October end with my family. Could you please let me know how would be the chance to see the magical Northern Light during that time of year? Thanks!!
@@bablubhar hmmm.... imo October can be almost a 50/50 chance, but I guess, it's better than November ... Fall weather changes a lot, and if I were you I'd do a bit of research on the weather those months. I live in the Lo-Ve islands (lofoten and Vesteraalen Islands), come say hello @ingasamisiida, reindeercamp in Sortland. (need to book in advance. :) If you go from Tromsø via Vesterålen/Lofoten to Abisko, you will get a lot of different and breathtaking scenery... even the weather will change quick. Will you take boat from Tromsø, or drive?
i´m from Germany and i did my military time in 1996 and at that time we had the battle griffin NATO maneuver in Norway and we where stationed near Bodø and went later to a trip to Tromsø and the northern lights i witnessed there was the most beautiful thing i ever witnessed...when you lay down in the night in the trench while on guard duty and watch this phenomena happen its so amazing i will never forget that :-)
❤
Loool is that "Come to Daddy" profile pic 🤣
5:03 This section was my favorite, filming the reactions of people all over the world to this wonder of nature. I heard several different languages being spoken as well.
5:01 that literally gave me goosebumps ❤️
That music is doing justice as well
I really like aurora...
I don't know why I like aurora's ...everytime i telling about that ....the sky is soo beautiful..
I wish..in my life I see that beautiful sky...💖🌌
I wish to see aurora borealis before I die😭 So beautiful and therapeutic! I would literally cry tears of joy when I witness this magical event😍😭
I see this many times every year, you should see it it is amazing!
You can find it some places in Canada, Finnland and Norway. But you might find it other places too
@@ask6037 And Alaska.
If you live in the U.S. there's always Alaska. Just a few days ago I got an email from Alaska Airlines promoting the northern lights with a fare discount. Guess I'll try that next winter if I can endure the below zero temperatures!
I would like a steamed ham before I die
...oh how utterly spectacular.....I am sure I would cry with joy at the sheer beauty of it all.....yes, I want to go there too
Norway a country of peace & beauty ...love from India...one day intent to travel to Norway and see Northern Lights directly...
As a Chinese, in the middle of this clip,I saw a familiar face of East Asian, after further confirmation, I recognized that voice immediately, she was consulting with her companies whether go or not. I was an English major student but never been aboard for once, the most anticipated place for me to go is definitely go to Norway to see the northern lights!Currently I am studying simple Norwegian to have a better understanding and show respect to the different cultures. Har du bra!Tusen takk !
Ha det bra! ;)
Greetings from Tromsø!
Delta 😬
Greeting from Tromsø, velkommen
Har du det bra* but you're lesning and that's grate
God is an artist. He drew those light beautifully. God is great
Seeing stuff like this gives you that feeling of being alive and not worrying about anything else. It really puts me in my place as a person and im just watching this thru my little phone.
Nature never disappoint us when it comes to beauty 💖
Hi come to our chenal and subscriber the cheanal for Tourism videos Special Europe countries.

No not nature.Allah.
It’s God..his handiwork’s are beautiful!
@@omarsharif4741 Nope and keep your religion outta here, please and thank you. :)
Amazing video !!! i love Norway, the northern lights are incredible, a gift from mother nature
God's creation is amazing, isn't it?
@@donnawilcock5774 oh yeah it is
This is beautiful. I can only imagine how much of a magical moment it is. Complete silence and the faint sound of wind as a stream of colors fill the sky
Also the pure starry sky
I've never been fortunate enough to see these lights in person from southern USA. Only in videos. I had no idea how beautiful this was and it moves!! It's like being on some other planet! So beautiful!!!
Travel to the Northern US states and spend some time there if you would like to see aurora borealis; like Michigan, Minnesota etc. Of course the farther North you go the more likely you will see them, so Canada or Alaska is good also! The main thing is, find a way you can spend some time, because there is no guarantee what day or night they will show up. For example, if someone can work from home and wishes to see northern lights, they might wish to live in one of the northernmost US states or Canadian provinces. Or perhaps you might wish to attend university in one of these places, or try finding a job in the north for a few years. You should be able to see the northern lights very many times if you are able to spend awhile living there.
I bet I would cry if I see those lights in person... they look stunning and breathtaking, like they make you think this world is enormous and we worry about stupid things when there’s such things like this
God is truly amazing within his works
Yah really God is very biggest artist 🎨
Amandeep Singh heck yeah man
I never traveled out of the U S./CAN and finally went alone to Norway, and then Iceland. Those bus excursions, wherever they're going are just what he said. You aren't just customers. You'll never forget it.
Jo Parker looks legit, hoping to go oneday
It's no god but astrophysics 😐
This one of my dreams. To see the northern lights in person. :')
Svalbard or iceland is the place to do it
Your follower is not a famous RUclipsr. Keep it up 🇷🇺🇸🇦👍🏻 I ask you in your greatest name, Lord, to grant the hand that supports me, the joy of which I bow down in prostration.
Oh my god this doesn't even look real, it feels like it's a CGI effect or something of sorts, I can only imagine what it is like watching it with your own eyes, beautiful
Damn I teared up watching this especially the end. Been in love with the northern lights ever since hearing about them first as a kid. Never got the chance to see them but hopefully soon. Northern Lights, Tromso, Norway, I'm coming for you and I REALLY CAN'T WAIT 😍😍😍
This earth is truly amazing. The vast differences in nature and ways of life is pretty cool. If only I had the ability to live a little bit of all of it. Norway is on my list for sure!
One of the most beautiful view combined with such a peaceful music. ❤
still Its my dream to see aurorra borealis😭
You don't have to fly across the world to see the Northern lights, visit Labrador Canada in winter.
Mine too
Mine also
I consider myself extremely lucky. While these people spent a huge amount of money and time and trouble and travel and froze their butts off to see this for a couple minutes, I got to watch it for basically free for half an hour, and stayed cozy warm the whole time.
Back in 1983, I was flying from LA to Germany In mid-December on business. Free flight. Flight traveled all night. And I was lucky to have the furthest left-hand seat, next to window. In middle of night, as plane was probably over Greenland, I happened to glance out the window, and saw these lights. At first I couldn't comprehend what I was seeing, since I wasn't traveling to see these lights. The whole thing caught me off-guard. Then I realized what I was looking at. All the green swirling colors.....it was pretty amazing.
Yea, Pilots' see a lot of world wonders when dey fly @ high n low altitudes. God is great 💪🏻❤💓💗
I want to visit Norway 🇳🇴 ❤️
This is not Norway, this is Northern Norway. The real north.
Magne - Johan Nilsen yes brother. Hilsen fra Tromsø.
@@sakariasfjellstad6730 Fat det esse saint?
The comments here made me feel extremely thankful of living in this city. I have lived here all my life and can recognize almost all of the places in this video, i even biked over the bridge at 0:48 today.
Hii
You're so lucky
The chasing lights tour was truly magical. Thank you for sharing this video. I did the tour 3 days ago and wish I can experience it again.
That sight made me cry like a child.. it's overwhelming.. it's overwhelming to realize how small we are in this universe, how tender is our arrogance in front of the the light it holds... And how dare are we to act like the masters, to exploit the nature, the sea, the sky , the soil... Ahh God this made a so humbled..😭😭🌌🌌❤️
Watching northern lights is in my bucket list.
From India ❤
It's so magical.... I will happily take my final breath while watching this lights.
the most beautiful night sky i've ever see in my life..
After such a mesmerizing sight with soothing hues how one can remain conscious...."Do I awake or asleep"....one must not articulate any words...words are too little to paint such celestial gift....!!!
I would be greatly grateful having the opportunity to just witness the millions of stardust and a phenomenon that happen only in a certain place even for just a minute
I often feel tired, stressed and low in the dark winter months, but then I see the northern lights and I feel blessed living in Tromsø. 💚
Norway......I LOVE YOU ! Such a beautiful country!
অনেক অনেক ভালো লাগলো ভিডিওটা খুব সুন্দর অসাধারণ কিছু দৃশ্য দেখলাম
I wish I was born in Norway.
I pray to visit someday.
Right at the top of my bucket list. It's so beautiful and I wish to see it once in my life. The day I'd see it, I will know life is beautiful.
Why am I crying😭❤️.....I hope I could see this One Day
Edit: I cant believe I am here after an year. I got selected for a PhD position in Norway and I will be moving to Oslo in few months.....I am soo closer to my dreams 😭
I'm so glad I'm not the only one crying while watching this. Soooo beautiful and unreal. Yeah I'm going there someday too.
Yeah I got caught off guard and started crying too 😭😭 the world is so beautiful
@@hamgil it so is!
Your crying because God is so amazing that he left a little bit of Eden (paradise) on earth even though we were too foolish to realize that our faith is sufficient enough for all things through Christ. YESHUA HAMASCHIACH
Imagine bringing a guitar to play and sing with your friends while sitting near a campfire, while seeing this amazing phenomenon. INCREDIBLE!
Beautiful ! I've seen the Northern Lights from North Dakota USA, they are amazing. But to see them in Norway is my hope , to travel to the home of my Great Grandparents!! Magical !!
Let plan and go overthere
It must be a honour to have Nordic blood.
I have been in Hansnes, which is more or less close to Tromsø! I finally saw the northetn lights and that was by far the best experience of my life! There are no words to describe all that! When you hear the sound of the nature and see those lights! No words! I'll be back, thats for sure! Norway, you are amazing❤️🇳🇴
I saw the Northern Lights in Iceland 🇮🇸 it was awe inspiring!
I would be in tears. This is the most beautiful thing I’ve ever seen. Wow
Runs through end of september till april, northern europe specially in lapland , north sweden and finland you get to see this beauty, there is some kind of saudade , pensive nostalgic melancholy ,which is happiness and sadness at the same time, there is something to it that cant be explained, its enjoying nature while listening to pink floyd classics , northern europe is beautiful specially when you get to see this extravagant showcase mothernature has to offer.. it is something beautiful cannot express it in words.
For someone who lives in this city, and has been to many of the places that were shown, and driven on all of these roads shown in the video i find it so interesting that so many people are fascinated by my country/city when i take it all for granted. I need to start appreciating Tromso/Norway more.
I cried watching this video. This has always been my dream and chasing lights is a wonderful people for people to experience this wonderful phenomenon. My only wish for before I die is to see the Northern Lights.
Nature's beauty....no matter how hard we try we can never match it!
I almost feel bad for telling you that when i lived on Senja, this was my "going home light" for a year. Its not always green. It is quite often pink/purple as well. But one thing i can tell you. It is ALWAYS beautiful.

Truly wonderful! Thank you for sharing this video to those who won't have the privilege to experience this.
Going to Norway in November in two weeks 😍...
How much is it costing u
How is it there? :)
Actually I went to Stavanger , Norway for hiking. Exceptional beauty ☺️

OMIGOSH please let us know how it was!
In 1992 camped rough across the river, near a camp ground and football field. I waited for the NS Norsel and worked my way to Svalbard. Greeting from Australia.
My biggest dream is to live or a least visit once in my life north Norway (like Tromsø) and see this unbelievable phenomenon❤ love from Greece❤
I am from cambodia i use to be in tromso for a month in 2002 for training. So, i miss the city so much. Thank for showing so that i can remember it.
Norway is heaven Norway the most beautiful country in the world 🥺🥺 I wish I could have born in the Norway 🇳🇴
My mother is from Tromsø so we visit sometimes. Always loved seeing the Northern lights while there.
“That’s a Christmas gift”😭😭
Lots of love to Norway.... 🇧🇩 from Bangladesh
I was there last month. What an amazing city. I want to spend more time there. I saw the lights but they were very faint. But I am glad I did. They were no where near as bright as at the end of this video. I will return! (When ive saved up again!)
Plz, how much do i need to have or save to be able to visit dis beautiful place?Texting from Nigeria, in Africa.
Being a dreamer to experience such movement, I have tears in eyes . But al these peoples there have pass trough my time . Hope to success my dream.
This is one of the reasons why Norway is my favorite country..
Sky is the biggest platform for performing by Nature..... Best wishes
Wow 🔥 I have this one on the top of my wish list ...
It's beautiful and really magical ..❤️
I am in love with natural beauty😍🥰...
# craziness towards nature ❤️
My husband is from Tromso, so I have been there dozens of times. Many years ago, we were on an island close to the city, and the Northern Lights were dancing. Then, as if a fan slowly passed over the sky, the lights turned from green to red. A miracle I will never again experience.
Been there in february, we've seen some 4 nights in a row. Magical ! And, no, it wasn't soooo cold (-10°C)
stéphane FRADET wow, that is amazing, we were there the past February and we only saw them one night only....if we understood they are to be chased, we would have rather spent all out time doing the chasing however I am glad that we had a chance to see them ☺️
@@boitumelom3596 More or less, it a matter of chance above all. 4 first days were sunny and clear sky, so it was esay to see them. We were in the house's garden with red wine and appetizers looking at them al night long :-) Last 3 days were very snowy/stormy and there were no chance to see anything in the peninsula... We have been lucky both of us, I'm glad you've been able to see this wonderful thing too !
Byłem ,wrocilem i jestem meeega zadowolony .Sprawdzanie pogody przed wyjazdem pokazuje tylko prawidlowe i profesjonalne podejscie . Jesli ktos z was leci do Tromsø na pewno warto omijac agencje Best Arctic ..Porazka to mało powiedziane .Tromsø jest niesamowicie piekne i daje duzo mozliwosci zwiedzania

I lived in Tromso for 7 years and I really miss the place💔
I would be crying while watching the Aurora. It’s really stunning and I’d love to visit one day!
This just took my heart away.. how much I wanna go there
Oh you sure do!❤ but then you shoud go to tromsø
My husband and I are visiting Tromsø in November for 12 days and hope to see the northern lights more than once. I’m ridiculously excited to be visiting Norway.
Psalm 19, looking at this we can only dream about beautiness of paradise, thabk you Jesus for everything,we give all Glory and Praise
Herzlichen Dank für das tolle Video ... Wundrschöön ! Alles Gute zu euch !
How can someone dislike this?! Amazing
Nature's wonder, and people are looking at it from their tiny phone screen instead of just basking in the magical experience right in front of their eyes....
Wanna go there someday :')
That just inspires me. Really when i see these lights i am feeling full of with hope.
I'm joining you from 1st March to 7th...I had never been so hyped for a trip... one of my life dream could be true with this... I can't wait to get there and make that tours!! I hope these lights show up when I get there...
Imanol Pérez no man they are gonna turn the lights off When you get there
Slaughter House nothing can guarantee that lights will show up... that is what i meant
Imanol Pérez i knew what you meant i was just joking around :)
Slaughter House ah ok! I didnt get it
Seanthemost 3 i was already there and see them all the 3 nights i went to chase them... and one extra night from the top of the cable car
I will definitely include this on my Dream Board! One day I will witness this too. Such a breath-taking view
I am from Saudi Arabia...and I would love to go to Tromso and see the Northern lights one day :)
I am from Brazil. 🇧🇷
I was born in Tromsø, been watching the Northern Lights all my life, and it never stops being amazing and awesome. It really is magical and some times almost frightening 😎👍
I wish everyone get to see the auroras!
@@RUclips_Satan same love tromsø
@@RUclips_Satan when is the best month to go there to see these amazing lights?
@@jeffrivera1358 I would say December, since it's the darkest month. The Sun doesn't rise until January 21st :)
And during summer there's zero chance because of the midnight sun, so there's that. I don't know which of the darker months have the most clear skies, maybe January or February. In the end, there's no guarantee anyway.
Beautiful beautiful scenery wowwww👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🥰🥰🥰
Norway, I love you ❤🇳🇴
Props to the only 2 people on that tour NOT recording the Northern Lights on their phones, and just standing there taking it all in
Norway is very nice country been there 3 times..
My tears fell down when Aurora Borealis, the dancing Northern Lights show itself.. one of my ultimate bucket list in life 🥺🥺
Top on my wish list... To see Norway night 🌃♥️one day ..ill fulfilled it ..
♥️ From india
It's mine also
Every country is blessed with at least one magnificent beauty
omg im so dying to witness that😭
Finally a true view.... Loved it... Otherwise most of the RUclips videos r clickbait, they show 10s of northern lights in 10 min. video....
