What to expect?
Join us for a magical Northern Lights adventure by bus! Our experienced guides are dedicated to giving you the best chance of seeing the aurora on your evening out together with us. We leave from the city center of Tromsø and travel in a comfortable bus to the most promising locations outside Tromsø.
Every stop is chosen depending on the weather conditions to maximize your chances of witnessing this natural wonder.
Once we find the perfect spot, we make the experience cozy and warm; Our guides ensure you stay comfortable throughout the night , they’re happy to answer questions and share stories of life in the Arctic and they'll serve some hot drinks and biscuits to keep spirits high while we wait under the Arctic sky. If the weather allows, we’ll light a warming bonfire as well. Once the Northern Lights appear, the magic of this tour truly begins! Your photography guide will capture stunning portraits of you, and they can also help you take your own beautiful photos with expert tips and tricks, shared freely.
We may visit several locations during the same night, to find the best conditions: open sky and limited light pollution. If the Northern Lights don’t show, we offer for you to join the same tour another evening at 50% off - optimizing your chances for a once-in-a-lifetime-experience together with us!

Good to know
The time of return to Tromsø depends on the course of the tour: the distance of the chase, weather conditions and the northern lights displays.
We cannot guarantee seeing the northern lights, as they are a natural phenomenon. Still, we promise to use all our experience to maximize our chances of a successful chase.
There is no refund if the northern lights do not appear. However, you can book a second tour at 50% discount at our sales shop in Tromsø (Subject to availability, only valid for tours in 25/26 winter season)
This tour does not include dinner (full meal)
