Full description
Depart directly from Tromsø city center and join our expert Aurora guides on an unforgettable Northern Lights minibus chase through the Arctic wilderness. Every evening, our team carefully studies real-time weather forecasts, cloud movements, and local conditions around Tromsø and Northern Norway to find the best possible chances of seeing the Aurora Borealis.
Leave the lights of Tromsø behind as we travel through Arctic fjords, snowy valleys, frozen lakes, and remote wilderness locations in search of clear skies. No two Northern Lights tours are ever the same. Our guides continuously adapt the route throughout the evening based on live weather conditions, and when needed, we follow the best skies across the border into Finland to maximize your chances of seeing the Northern Lights.
With a maximum of only 15 guests, this Tromsø Northern Lights minibus tour offers a more personal and intimate experience than larger bus tours. Spend the evening with passionate local guides who share stories about Arctic life in Tromsø, local culture, and the science behind the Aurora while helping you capture incredible photos beneath the dancing lights.
Along the way, warm up around a cozy bonfire with hot drinks, local snacks, and a light meal surrounded by some of Northern Norway’s most breathtaking landscapes. Outdoor chairs, professional photos, and digital memories from the evening are included, allowing you to fully relax and enjoy the Arctic experience.
Trusted by more than 50,000 guests last season, our Tromsø Northern Lights tours combine local expertise, flexibility, and authentic Arctic adventure to create one of the most memorable experiences in Northern Norway.

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.
