Go out in a beautiful big bus to hunt the northern lights. perfect for families and couples. Toilets inside the bus too! :D
Your evening begins at our Northern Lights Safari base, where your guide—trained through our Aurora Guide Training Program—explains the plan for the night.
This moment is important: the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, and no one can control the final outcome. What we can guarantee is the highest possible chance by using expert knowledge, real-time cloud data, and years of experience to choose the best direction for clear skies.
We believe clear expectations make for the best experience. This is a true Arctic adventure, and each night is different. Sometimes we stay close to Tromsø, and sometimes we drive far into the fjords or even across the border to find clearer skies. To make the journey more comfortable, you’ll travel in a warm, modern vehicle with a toilet on board—a small but important comfort during a long safari night.
At our viewing location, we set up a cozy Arctic camp with hot drinks, biscuits, and thermal suits to keep you warm. Your guide shares stories, Aurora science, and behind-the-scenes glimpses from our upcoming Northern Lights Safari TV series—giving you a rare insight into the world of real Aurora hunters.
When the lights appear, your guide helps you experience the moment fully and captures professional photos of you under the Aurora. Each guest can also request our Northern Lights Safari Official Certificate, marking your achievement and welcoming you into our growing Aurora community.
Throughout the night, we adjust our position if needed, always chasing the clearest skies. Your safety, comfort, and experience are our priority. This is why travelers choose us—and why we are known as the most trusted Northern Lights company in Tromsø.
Expect an honest, well-organized, expert-led adventure where nature decides the final show, but our experience gives you the best possible chance to witness it.

What travellers are saying
Travellers consistently praise the guides, describing them as knowledgeable, friendly and skilled at finding good viewing spots even when conditions required moving locations, and many were delighted to see the northern lights, with extras like hot chocolate and photo help adding to the experience. One reviewer, however, found the pickup location unclear, felt some of the informative talk was skipped during a long chase for clear skies, and noted the practical difficulties of a three hour journey each way without snacks or a usable bathroom.

I’m d help them understand the pickup location. Very unclear from google map link. Science talk was skipped due to longer chase, but could have been delivered on the drive. Had we known it was going to be 3 hours each way, we would have brought snacks. Bathroom on bus not usable along the three hour journey - not all...

I had a great time with the tour, our tour guide Kirstin was very informative. Her fun facts about tromsø was entertaining and I also enjoyed the grill and hot chocolate. The best part was seeing the Northern lights twice in both of the two stops we went to it was magnificent!!

Foi sensacional! Nosso guia Koren, além de ser muito simpático, conhecia muito bem a região, nos levando para um ponto excelente, após o clima não colaborar no primeiro local. Agência extremamente confiável, saindo de um ponto central de tromsø. Recomendo
