About the activity

Ready to stay up late and try to spot the Northern Lights from Tromsø? A must-see natural phenomenon during the long Arctic winter nights, the Northern Lights offer an utterly magical display to anyone lucky enough to witness them. Sometimes green, sometimes pink, and at times showing other surprising colours, they captivate many travellers passing through the north of Scandinavia. And if you don’t have your own vehicle to set off in search of them, nothing beats an excursion like this one, departing directly from Tromsø, the northernmost of the major cities! You will benefit not only from transport to the viewing sites, but also from the guidance of professional experts who know exactly where to take you to maximise your chances of seeing the famous Aurora Borealis.

For this Northern Lights chase from Tromsø, you will be driven either in a heated bus equipped with toilets (if there are more than 17 participants) or in a smaller heated vehicle without toilets (if there are fewer than 17 participants). You will travel in comfort all the way to the observation site carefully chosen by your guides, even as far as the Finnish border if weather conditions require it. Once there, you will need to be patient: the Northern Lights are unpredictable! To keep you warm while you wait, the team will provide hot drinks, and you can return to the vehicle if needed. Finally, if luck is on your side and the Northern Lights appear, the guides will be delighted to help you photograph them and, if you wish, take pictures of you with their professional camera so you can take home a wonderful souvenir of the adventure (at an additional cost)!

If the weather worsens at the viewing site, you may set off again by bus in search of another spot with more favourable conditions. And even if you don’t have the chance to see the Northern Lights, you will at least have enjoyed taking part in this unmissable Arctic experience, accompanied by guides who will also share fascinating information about this extraordinary natural phenomenon. The best part? This Northern Lights chase from Tromsø is open to all ages, meaning the whole family can join in!

We took a bus for 2 hours to a spot away from city. The northern light view was fantastic.

We stopped and stayed in one place as soon as the guide found northern light. We went with a tour bus that had a toilette, and you could always went back to the bus to warm up whenever you felt too cold, so all in all it was a very comfortable northern light “chase”. Had to pay for the photos but hey! There were some very nice shots so I don’t mind.

Comfortable coach with toilet (did not use). We waiting for about 3 hours and note to anyone who is going… make your own fun with who you go with… as the waiting can be long! Hot chocolate and cookies were provided (basic) but needed. Should definitely change the title of this activity as we were not necessarily ‘chasing’. Or maybe it should be outlined in description.
