See what my clients are saying about their experiences when they Travel With Wes!
Highly recommend Wes for your travels! He organized and led a large group trip to Banff last year, which included hiking, dining out, sightseeing and much more.
Our Northern lights tour with Wes exceeded our expectations! We were fortunate to see the lights on several nights but Norway provided much more than that. We would love to travel with Wes again.
It would’ve taken me weeks to research and plan something like this on my own! I can’t recommend his services and group trips enough.
He also put together a great group of wonderful people whom we still talk to and hope to share another trip together soon. Wes did such a great job and we are forever grateful! Highly recommended!
I had a fantastic experience traveling with Wes to Norway! Every detail of the trip was planned and executed flawlessly. I trusted him wholeheartedly throughout the entire process.
First time out of the country can be a lot but having the best spots picked out and great tips really just opened our eyes on how amazing and fun Europe is without worries!
My Northern Lights Trip to Norway with Travel with Wes was a top notch experience. The cost was worth the services and experiences of the trip. If another itinerary and the timing works out I would travel with Wes again!
Additional information about this tour
About this tour
This small group trip to Tromso, Norway will be limited to 13 travelers.
The trip will include six nights of 4-star accommodations at a hotel located in the city center that is extremely convenient for walking around town (you do not need a rental car).
Airport transfers and roundtrip transportation for all activities is included in the cost.
You'll have a dedicated guide for the entire trip (that's me!) along with local guides that we hire for various portions of the trip.
We have organized activities on the first 5 nights in Tromso that will offer us great opportunities to see the Northern Lights.
Three of the evenings we'll utilize a private small group Northern Lights tour operator that will take our group outside of Tromso to darker areas with clearer skies.
This will maximize our chances of seeing the Northern Lights.
These tour operators will even drive us to nearby Sweden or Finland if that's what it takes to reach clear skies.
Not only that, but they include thermal winter gear rentals that will keep you nice and warm while we hang out outside watching the night sky.
The other two opportunities for Northern Lights viewing will be after riding the Fjellheisen Cable Car up to Storsteinen mountain and during an evening visit with a group of local Sami reindeer herders.
Information about the town of Tromsø
Tromso boasts a population of over 60,000 people and it has a reputation for being one of the best places on earth to witness the Northern Lights.
Tromso has the perfect blend of extreme northern latitude, moderate weather and short daylight hours during November to create excellent conditions for seeing the Northern Lights.
During mid-November and mid-January, the approximately 9:30am sunrise and 1:30pm sunsets mean that there's only 4 hours of daylight.
The daylight that you will experience, is a beautiful, almost permanent golden hour glow as the sun sweeps extremely low across the Arctic sky.
The short windows of daylight are perfect for exploring town and enjoying some of the activities that we have planned during the trip.
