Tromso Fjords
Tromsø fjords, mountains and journey to Finland are most frequent locations and directions, where we are chasing northern lights and best possible weather conditions. The correct choice of coastal, or innland areas increase our chances of finding clear sky for you, becuase climate is often very different around west coast comparing to innland areas, or even with climate in Finland. All locations are beautiful, yet very different. Fjords around west coast are only 1 hour away with average temperature during coldest vinter period of -5/-10 degrees Celsius. Innland areas and particurarly Finland (and border) are further away from Gulf stream(which makes coast warmer) and that is the reason why we can experience temperatures colder than minus 20 degrees Celsius in Finland, where we drive regurarly ; whenever weather forecast require that. Therefore, we are one of very few providers who offers to our custommers heatet minibus at all times (for your rest, sleep, or just to get bit warmer=).

It was very cloudy when...
It was very cloudy when we started but Daniel didn't give up on finding open sky's so we could experience the northern lights. We traveled many miles but were rewarded with a magnificent display of the lights. Well worth the extra miles
via Viator
Best guide!
Daniel was an amazing guide, as always the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon that cannot be controlled but Daniel makes it a point to ensure the best possible chance to catch it. His experience, efforts, patience and attention to detail made it an enjoyable experience in spite of the weather conditions. Thank you, Daniel!

Awesome Dancing Aurora
We joined the aurora tour on 10 Sept. Daniel is very experienced and knowledgeable tour guide. He gave us the aurora updates and brought us to chase the aurora all the way. We are very lucky just started autumn seasons we managed to see the dancing aurora.

Highlight of our trip to Europe
Daniel was the most amazing guide we could have asked for. We did not have the budget to go on multiple tours, so we selected Flexitour, because Daniel will move you to another day with a good forecast if possible. This is exactly what happened. Not only did Daniel move our tour to a clear night with the most incredible Aurora displays, he went above and beyond to make it work with our travel plans. He offered us the change when he received the forecast shortly before we boarded our flight into Tromso. He picked us up directly from the airport, gave us food, water, tea and hot chocolate (we were not expecting to go on the tour when we were preparing for the flight earlier in the day so we were quite hungry and thirsty) and dropped us directly to our accomodation at the end of the tour because we had luggage with us. He was a positive, kind and considerate person who was a joy to be around during the tour. Do not book with anyone else.

Very happy with Flexitour NL chasing tour
Danielle is very friendly and professional. Due to extreme bad weather in Tromso , he managed to drive us to Finland and found a clear sky to watch the Green Lady. He kept us updated during the ride on the probability of seeing the aurora. He took picture for us and time lapse videos that we can download later. He is very thoughtful with plenty of fruits and muffins provided to his guests. He is really concerned about the safety of his guests. Instead of dropping us at the standard drop off points , he drove everyone back to their Airbnb which is greatly appreciated especially during a cold and rainy night which isn’t easy to get a taxi. One of the guests had joined Danielle’s tour for 3 nights in a row, I am sure he is very happy with his service. I would highly recommend Flexitour .

Why this scores 80
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Aurora Chase from Tromso with Photos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Aurora Chase from Tromso with Photos cost?
+
Prices start at $136 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Tromso usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Aurora Chase from Tromso with Photos take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Tromso is not rushed.
Is Aurora Chase from Tromso with Photos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 80 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 55 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Aurora Chase from Tromso with Photos?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Aurora Chase from Tromso with Photos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Aurora Chase from Tromso with Photos?
+
Around 19 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Tromso can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Tromso and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Aurora Chase from Tromso with Photos start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Tromso within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Tromso?
+
On Outty we rank every Tromso experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Chasing Lights: Aurora Big Bus Chase (All Photos Included), Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive, Tromso Northern Lights Minibus Chase Small Group Tour with Photos. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Tromso?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Tromso?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
