Easter is a magical time in Tromsø, with longer days, milder temperatures, and often beautifully covered in snow. But when it comes to chasing the northern lights, it comes with a few challenges.
At this time of year, the Arctic is quickly transitioning into summer, which means a lot more daylight. Every 4 days Tromso gets almost one extra hour of daylight, can you imagine that?
The extended daylight hours reduce the window of darkness needed to see the auroras clearly.
Pros:
- Milder weather makes it more comfortable to be outside. But don’t underesttimate your winter dresscode.
- Unique opportunity to see the landscape while we drive to a suitable spot.
- Fewer crowds on tours and in town.
Cons:
- Limited dark hours mean fewer chances to spot the lights.
- Auroras may appear faint or not at all due to twilight conditions.
Honest opinion:
The photos above were taken in the 2nd and 3rd week of April. As you can see the intensity is not as strong as during the dark season.
We believe in transparency with our customers. That’s why we continue to run tours only for customers who really want to try during this period. Especially travelers who have come all the way here hoping for a chance.
And we also offer free cancellation if you decide not to join the tour up to 24h before departure. (This applies between April 15th and April 20th 2025).
Whether you decide to join the tour or not, we’re here to help you make the most of your trip to Tromsø in Easter time!
