Historie

Welcome to Karl-Ivar’s Guided Tours!

Aurora Borealis

You have read about it, you have seen the photos, you have seen the videos. Now come and see it all for yourself, in real life! And while you’re at it, bring your camera!

The Aurora Borealis or The Northern Lights is one of nature’s most spectacular phenomenon. It can’t be described, it has to be experienced. To get the best view of it you have to have a clear view of the sky, little or non light pollution and of course fair weather. I can help you with the first two, plus another one, for bonus.

Bring your camera, or don’t!

I don’t know how to control the weather, but what I do know is all the best locations for viewing and photographing Aurora Borealis in the vicinity of Tromsø, Norway. That’s a bonus. Not only do I know the locations, I also have great experience in photographing and I’m more than glad to help you. Don’t want to take pictures? No problem. You won’t forget seeing Aurora Borealis anyway!

Karl-Ivar’s Guided Tours are made for you. I believe that guiding a small group of people is the only way of giving a personal and valuable experience to each and one of you. My guided group tours consists of no more than 15 people, excluding myself and my partner.

We will travel by one or two cars, depending on how big the group is.
Included: Hot soup, tea, bread, warm clothes, cap, gloves, head lamp, tripod, and reflective vest.

Plan your trip

Aurora Borealis can’t be seen the whole year around in Norway. Please take notice of Karl-Ivar’s Guided Tours dates and times.

Fjords

It’s where land of steep cliffs and mountains embraces the sea. Where mountains dive into water, standing against years of abrosion. This kind of scenery is very limited, but for Norway, it’s a specialty!

The Fjords of Norway are an enormous attraction, not only for tourists. Standing by a Fjord or above it on a cliff really sets things in perspective. It’s a whole different atmosphere, standing right there by the sea, yet almost surrounded by mountains. The wind, the water, the sound, – everything is different.

A new meaning

I have traveled to numerous Fjords in Norway, everyone of them is different and some of them are capable of giving the word “scenic” a new meaning. If you are a keen nature photographer, make your bet on a Fjord. Your best shot ever is waiting for you. Photographing Fjords is exciting, yet relaxing, it won’t go away and it’s always beautiful, – if you find the right one.

Don’t leave without it

I have local knowledge of the Fjords in the vicinity of Tromsø, Norway. I aim to make my guided tours a personal and valuable experience for my guests, therefore only small groups of 2-15 people can join me and my partner on each tour. I am an experienced photographer and I know about some of the best locations for nature photography. It’s not uncommon that we can spot reindeers, moose, eagles, seals, whales and other wildlife on these tours. Bring your camera. Take your best shot ever. Don’t leave without it!

We will travel by one or two cars, depending on how big the group is.
Included: Warm clothes, soup, tea, bread, shoes, hat, gloves and tripod.

The Midnight Sun

Imagine the shadows getting longer. Imagine the Sun soon will set. Now imagine that won’t happen, not today, not tomorrow, not for a long time! That’s what I’m talking about, never ending days!

In northern Norway the Midnight Sun will be low on the horizon in the summer months, but it will never set. Some people have trouble sleeping because of it, some even won’t know when the day ends and the night begins. Experiencing the Midnight Sun is as romantic and beautiful as a sunset and a sunrise at the same time. If you have that opportunity, do not let it slip away!

Take a picture, it’ll last longer!

Ever tried to take pictures of a sunset or sunrise? It can be stressful. In one moment the Sun is in the right place, just over the horizon, in the next it’s gone, or it’s to high. But not the Midnight Sun. It’ll pose low on the horizon for you and your camera for a long time. You’ll have a great amount of time to take shot after shot after shot… It’ll slide along the ocean, along the mountains in the distance, it’ll give you the possibility to take hundreds of sunset photos in one night!

Come see the Midnight Sun, relax, take all the photos you want, don’t stress, you know it’ll last longer!

Scenery is everything

I have very good local knowledge and know hundreds of locations with great scenery for watching and photographing the Midnight Sun, both inside and outside the city of Tromsø, Norway. I focus on delivering a personal service and great experience to my customers. I can gladly help you with your camera and photographing. Therefore all my guided groups are never larger than 15 people, me and my partner excluded.

We will travel by one or two cars, depending on how big the group is.
Included: Hot soup, bread, tea and tripod.

As many attractions in Norway, the Midnight Sun don’t last forever. Please check out Karl-Ivar’s Guided Tours dates and times.
