Chase the Northern Lights from Tromso with local experts, cozy gear, and flexible tour options tailored to your evening.

Getting started

Your Northern Lights chase begins in Tromso, where you meet your guide and join your selected tour option. After a short introduction and safety briefing, you board your chosen vehicle and receive your included thermal clothing or winter overalls. Once everyone is settled and geared up, you head out of the city toward areas with the best chance of clear skies.

What to expect

Small-group chase (as per option selected)

Join a small-group Northern Lights chase, designed for a more personal experience with up to 8 or 15 guests, depending on the option you choose. Your expert local guide drives you away from city lights, stopping at locations that offer good viewing conditions. The group spends time outside the vehicle when conditions are favorable, with a campfire available when weather permits.

Features:

  • Follow a guided Northern Lights chase tour that adapts to weather and sky conditions, focusing on areas with the highest chance of aurora sightings on that night.

  • Spend the evening in a small-group setting, with thermal suits or other thermal gear included to keep you comfortable outdoors while you wait for the lights to appear.

  • Sip warm drinks and enjoy snacks around a weather-permitting campfire, with professional photography to capture your time under the Arctic sky.

Bus tour with campfire stop (as per option selected)

Opt for the bus tour if you prefer to travel with a larger group while still enjoying guided aurora hunting. An expert local team uses forecasts to choose viewing locations, and the bus serves as a warm base between outdoor stops. When conditions allow, a campfire is set up so guests can relax and warm up between sky-watching sessions.

Features:

  • Join a guided Northern Lights chase that seeks out clear skies, with the flexibility to change locations through the night if needed.

  • Listen to insights from expert local guides who explain how the aurora forms and what to look for in the night sky as conditions evolve.

  • Stay warm between outdoor sessions with access to the heated bus, stepping outside when the aurora activity increases.

  • Keep comfortable in the cold with included thermal gear, helping you spend more time outside while watching for the lights.

  • Enjoy hot drinks and snacks during the evening, so you can refuel without leaving the viewing area.

  • Receive photography assistance to help you adjust camera settings or frame your shots, making it easier to capture the aurora.

  • Relax by a campfire, when weather permits, for a sheltered break from the cold night air and enjoy professional photography assistance.

Wrapping up

You leave with photos or memories of the aurora and a better understanding of how local guides read the Arctic sky to find the Northern Lights.
