1.Tromsø: Northern Lights Safari with Expert Guides and Photos

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6,654 reviews · 6 - 7 hours · from $61Our pick

Join Northern Lights Safari Tromsø for a 6 to 7 hour Aurora chase led by trained guides such as David, Claudia, Koren, and Elo. You may travel deep into the fjords or toward the Finland border for clear skies, then warm up with hot drinks, cookies, thermal suits, a campfire, and professional Aurora portraits.

“This was an amazing choice, especially if you don’t have much experience chasing the Northern Lights. We were lucky with the weather and had clear skies. After driving about 30 minutes from Tromsø, we saw the lights almost immediately and enjoyed them throughout the entire experience. Our guide, Koren, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He provided warm drinks and even set up a bonfire, which made the evening extra cozy. He also took as many photos as we wanted. At the end of the trip, we could choose one photo included in the price, and additional pictures were available for purchase (around €10 per photo). Overall, highly recommend this experience!”

5.Longyearbyen: Wildlife Safari & Hiking Photography Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 27 reviews · 5 hours · from $246

Join See & Explore for a five-hour wildlife and photography outing around Longyearbyen. Guide Ivar, who grew up in Svalbard and comes from a wildlife-photography family, helps you spot reindeer, Arctic foxes, ptarmigans, and seasonal birds. You will ride in a van, take an easy hike of up to three hours, and pause for warm drinks and snacks.

“Our guide moved to the area as a high schooler (from northern Norway), and his father is a wildlife photographer and birder, so Ivar knew wildlife and living here. What I appreciated most as the only person over 40 (as in almost 70!), was Ivar’s efforts to keep me in involved in the group (of just 6) lending a subtle hand when needed (I think it scared us both when a gust of Spitzenberg’s famous winds caught me off guard and nearly blew me off my feet!), and taking my phone to grab a shot he saw I wanted but didn’t want to make the group wait for me to…”

“What a fantastic experience! We saw and snorkeled out in the open ocean with several types of wild dolphins, which was absolutely magical! They took the Go Pro and filmed it, so all we had to do was enjoy. We had plenty of time to enjoy them, and then we went to Chileno Bay for more snorkeling, this time in the reef. We saw all kinds of fish and even a turtle. The guides were amazing and very knowledgeable. The footage is amazing! If you are going to snorkel, do this trip! It is clearly the best one out there!”

7.San Pedro de Atacama: Wildlife Safari and Photography Tour

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 17 reviews · 4 hours · from $145

You’ll leave San Pedro de Atacama with guide Juan Pablo for a four-hour wildlife and photography outing through Quirquincho Pass, Machuca wetlands and the Putana highlands. Look for vicuñas, guanacos, vizcachas and flamingos while using binoculars and a spotting scope with a phone adaptor. Groups are limited to four, and the tour runs in English, Spanish or Portuguese.

“It was fantastic and we saw lots of birds and animals. Juan Pablo really not only knows his birds and animals but also where to find them. We had some fascinating conversation about our travels to see wildlife and birds as well. I really enjoyed this tour and would recommend for anyone who wants to see and experience the local wildlife. I promise you will see wildlife that you will not be able to see on your own. At times I was looking right at it but could not ‘see’ what o was ‘seeing’ until he explained to me.”
