★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6,654 reviews · 6 - 7 hours · from $61Our pick

Set out from Tromsø with guides trained in Aurora hunting, such as David, Claudia, Koren, or Elo. You may drive 25 minutes or cross toward Finland for clearer skies. Expect science, stories, hot drinks, thermal suits, campfire time when conditions allow, and a professional photo beneath the Northern Lights.

“This was an amazing choice, especially if you don’t have much experience chasing the Northern Lights. We were lucky with the weather and had clear skies. After driving about 30 minutes from Tromsø, we saw the lights almost immediately and enjoyed them throughout the entire experience. Our guide, Koren, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He provided warm drinks and even set up a bonfire, which made the evening extra cozy. He also took as many photos as we wanted. At the end of the trip, we could choose one photo included in the price, and additional pictures were available for purchase (around €10 per photo). Overall, highly recommend this experience!”

Then Laura and Ailen took us to a third spot and after a while we saw incredible activity with explosions and a shooting star! The driver was also amazing and allowed us to stay longer and enjoy the activity. It was a magical day despite what was meant to be a terrible forecast and it was the incredible team that made it possible! Thanks again!!”

“The Northern Lights are an experience that can't be guaranteed, but the trip is worth every bit of cost. Anna was such a confident driver and helper, and Joaquin was a great guide. We were so lucky to have them help us find the lights on our way to Finland were we just stopped on the side of the road to photograph and enjoy the experience. We then continued on to another spot where we enjoyed all the treats, (the tomato soup was so warming when we were so cold), and we got to see such a wonderful display of the lights.”
