Activity description

Watch the sky dance above you thanks to this wonderful Northern Lights Minibus Chase in Tromsø!

There are many ways to enjoy nature's best light show, but the easiest is to combine it with a warm, comfortable Minibus. Tromsø is known as one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights, also known as Aurora Borealis. 

Meet us at our base 5 minutes prior to departure. This is usually at 6 PM, but please check your ticket as the time can change depending on sunset hours. At the base we will provide you with a warm thermal suit to put on top of your regular warm clothes.

Then, in small groups with a maximum of 15 people, you will set out into the polar night to one of the best spots to see the Northern Lights (away from light pollution and with the clearest skies possible). If it is cloudy above Tromsø, don’t worry; it is possible to find clear skies at a location further away. The team will carefully analyze the weather conditions before the tour while keeping in touch with other guides to monitor cloud movements in the local and surrounding areas.

Once we find the best spot, it will be time to wait for the lights to shine while setting up our cameras and taking photos. Take your time to enjoy the splendour of the dancing lights above you. Your guide will take professional photographs, which will be shared within 3 days of your tour. 

Later in the evening we will make a bonfire, have a warm meal and enjoy hot drinks by the fire. If you are a vegetarian or have any other dietary preferences, please let us know, and we will make sure there is something for you as well! Sit together with the other guests on the tour and marvel at the unique beauty you are witnessing: this magical sight is often a once-in-a-lifetime experience, and is made even more memorable when shared!
