    One of the last of the season

    I was so happy that this tour happened because I had several other cancel. While I appreciate them setting expectations that it was end of season, I still wanted the chance to see aurora- and we did! We drove around for hours and stopped at several cool places then finally saw them- and it was spectacular. The guide was great and took pics of all of us. He got to know every person and where we were all from. A great time . Highly recommend

    Response from the operator: Thank you dear Serena for booking your tour with us and leaving this phantastic rleview that we highly appreciate. We are happy that you enjoyed your tour on one of the last days of the season. Have a nice day. :)

    Wonderful experience

    Wonderful experience! This was the last weekend of the season and in fact another tour operator had cancelled our initial booking. I was happy to find Amazing Arctic Tours still running as advertised. Mansoor was our guide and was very knowledgeable about the locations to go, not only to see the Northern Lights but also different scenic spots to wait for daylight to fade. We were very fortunate to see one of the best displays, especially as it’s the end of the season. The photos Mansoor took and shared were also terrific!

    Response from the operator: Thank you dear Dawn for booking your tour with us and leaving this wonderful review that we highly appreciate 😍. We are happy you enjoyed your time with us. Welcome back again anytime.

    Amazing tour!

    Our guide Arman was super friendly and really kind. He was more than happy to take photos, and really made the tour. I was really impressed with the tour itself. I wasn't expecting to go to other places too, we stopped at the southern part of the island to check out the beaches, waterfalls, fjords, a sunset stop, a quick rest stop then onto this amazing fjord to see the northern lights. Arman even stopped when we seen a reindeer to go out and see it and take photos. We had a bonfire, hot squash, cakes and roasted marshmallows. The tour also included a photo or 2, which was great. And Arman even spent some time trying to help us with our phones to get the most out of the pictures. We had the best time and thoroughly recommend this tour to anyone! We got some great pictures and we're lucky enough to see the lights

    Response from the operator: Thank you dear Laura for booking your tour with us nad leaving this phantastic review. We are happy you enjoyed your time with us. Welcome back again anytime 🌹😍🙏🏼

    Aurora tour small group free portrait and bonfire: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.

    How much does Aurora tour small group free portrait and bonfire cost?

    +

    Prices start at $126 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 tour small group free portrait and bonfire take?

    +

    Plan for about 5 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 tour small group free portrait and bonfire worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 463 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 tour small group free portrait and bonfire?

    +

    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 tour small group free portrait and bonfire suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Aurora tour small group free portrait and bonfire?

    +

    Around 162 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 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Aurora tour small group free portrait and bonfire 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.
