Experience the Arctic wilderness the way locals do—by snowmobile. This guided adventure combines safe and responsible riding with the excitement of exploring vast snowy landscapes, frozen valleys, and untouched mountain scenery around Tromsø. Whether you're a beginner or have previous experience, your guide will ensure a comfortable introduction to snowmobile driving and safe travel in winter conditions. Along the way, you'll have the opportunity to enjoy open terrain, deep powder snow, and the thrill of riding through some of Northern Norway’s most spectacular natural surroundings.

Full description
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.

We had a wonderful experience with our guide Matous and driver Thomas during the Northern Lights trip on 21st March 2026. The tour started right at 6:30 pm and continued until we returned around 3:00 am. Despite very cloudy conditions throughout the evening and night, their dedication and effort were truly commendable. They actively chased clear skies, driving us for around 5 hours from Tromsø towards the Finland border in search of better conditions — an amazing chase — and thanks to their persistence, we were still able to witness the Northern Lights. A special mention to Thomas for his excellent driving. The roads were icy and snowy, but he handled the vehicle with great skill and maintained all safety precautions throughout the journey, making us feel completely safe and comfortable. Also, a special thanks to Matous for capturing such amazing photos — both of the landscapes and of us. We really appreciate the effort and the beautiful memories you helped create. Thank you both, Matous and Thomas, for your incredible dedication and for going the extra mile (literally!) to make this experience truly memorable for us.

My wife and I booked a Northern Lights hunt while visiting Tromsø and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip. Koren was very knowledgeable and constantly monitored weather conditions to take us to areas with the clearest skies. His dedication really showed as he and the driver drove us to multiple locations to maximize our chances of seeing the aurora. We were lucky enough to witness beautiful green aurora curtains and pillars dancing across the sky—an unforgettable experience. Koren also helped with photography tips so we could capture some amazing long-exposure photos. They were also very accommodating to my wife, who is pregnant, making sure she was comfortable throughout the trip and never rushing us while we enjoyed the moment. Highly recommend this experience if you’re visiting Tromsø and hoping to see the Northern Lights!

Jan was incredible and extremely considerate!! We had the best night - we drove an hour out of the city to a spot with clearer skies, beautiful mountains and the intensity, colors, and timing of the lights could not have been better. We got very lucky with such bright lights for over an hour. Jan knew exactly what he was doing and was eager to take our photos, keep the group together, and educate us about the lights. We had a small group which I think is much more efficient and more intimate than the larger group bus. He answered all our questions well - definitely recommend booking a northern lights tour with this company and especially with Jan.
