Tromsø: Northern Lights Tour with Photos by Big Bus or Small-Group Van

Chase the northern lights across Arctic Norway with expert guides, professional photography, and warm comforts on an evening tour.

Getting started

Begin your adventure by meeting your guide at your meeting point in Tromsø city centre. After a short briefing on the night’s plan, you’ll board a modern vehicle equipped with a toilet for the journey ahead. Your expert guide, trained through the Northern Lights Safari Aurora Program, will outline how the route is chosen based on real-time aurora and weather forecasts.

What to expect

Northern Lights Safari

This experience is built around maximizing your chances of seeing the aurora by chasing clear skies wherever they appear, sometimes close to Tromsø, sometimes deep into the fjords or even across the border into Finland.

Features

• Guides use live cloud data and years of local experience to select the best viewing locations each night, adjusting the route as needed to follow the clearest skies.

• Settle in at a cozy Arctic camp with chairs and hot drinks and snacks, to keep you comfortable while waiting for the lights to appear.

• Your expert guide shares insights into aurora science and local stories, while a professional photographer captures photos of you under the northern lights. Each guest receives a professional photo of their experience after the tour.

• The vehicle is equipped with a toilet (as per option selected) for added comfort during the long evening, and the group size ensures personal attention from your guide and photographer.

• Pick the big bus for a group aurora chase or opt for a small-group tour for a more intimate experience, based on your preferred group size and travel style.

Wrapping up

At the end of the night, you’ll return to Tromsø city centre, with your professional aurora photos shared digitally after the tour. If you wish, you can request an official Northern Lights Safari certificate to commemorate your experience (as per option selected).
