Set out from Tromsø at 6:45 pm with an English-speaking guide and driver for a 5 to 7 hour Aurora chase. Your route may run along the coast, inland, or toward Finland, depending on the clouds. You get thermal suits, tripods, hot drinks, cake, and guide-taken photos, though warm boots and clear skies are up to you and nature.

“We had a good guide and driver who tried their best to show us the NL travelling to four sites over 5.5 hours. The conditions were not good but we saw a few NL, had a wonderful time in the snowy landscapes and didn't feel cold as the wind was low. We met some good people on the trip and had a good bit of banter with them.”

Join Alex of Arctic Wild Tours for a private six-hour Northern Lights chase from Tromsø. Your group of up to eight rides in a minivan to dark viewing sites, with hotel pickup, thermal suits, hot drinks, Arctic food, and professional photos included. The route can shift with the weather, and the aurora is never guaranteed.

“The private Northern Lights tour was beautiful and cozy. Our guide Alex was incredibly thoughtful and had everything perfectly under control. Despite changing weather, he always knew where to go and acted quickly whenever there was a chance to see the aurora. When it got cloudy, he made a fire for us, and we enjoyed warm drinks, cookies, and a fun, relaxed conversation with him. The whole experience felt personal, well-organized, and truly memorable. Nothing to criticize! We’re leaving with only great memories of this breathtaking tour. Thank you, Alex!”
