Chase the northern lights in a small group with this 5–7 hour Arctic evening adventure from Tromsø. Travel by comfortable minibus to remote natural locations with your guide, enjoy a campfire meal, and receive professional photos to remember the night.
Begin your Arctic experience in central Tromsø, where you’ll meet your guide and group at the Northern Norway Travel Shop before setting off in a Mercedes Sprinter minibus. This small group tour (max. 15 people) is designed to give everyone personal attention and optimal chances of witnessing the northern lights.
The destination for the night depends on the latest weather forecasts, as your guide and driver work together to find the best skies—away from light pollution and deep in Norway’s wilderness. Once a suitable location is found, you’ll gear up with a thermal suit and gather around a crackling campfire.
While waiting for the aurora, enjoy a hot local reindeer stew (vegetarian option available), warm drinks, and roast marshmallows over the fire. Your guide will share stories, scientific facts, and local legends related to the northern lights, ensuring a rewarding evening even if conditions are uncertain.
The experience includes a professional photo portrait with the aurora, plus downloadable digital photos from the night. Expect a flexible route and pace—nature sets the schedule.
