This may be the beginning of a dream come true. Look no further, or read on if you are unsure! As some of the most experienced guides, they analyze weather predictions prior to every tour, and have close contact with a network of guides for the highest chances to see the Northern Lights. The comfortable vehicle is fully equipped with everything you may need in the Arctic, allowing the group to discover remote scenery, reaching more calm and peaceful places. Pick you is at a central location in Tromsø, allowing for more time for finding, and seeing the Aurora earlier! With no two nights the same, our enthusiasm and dedication never fades. Upon reaching suitable skies, we will set up camp for the evening. Most of the time this is a shorter drive to the surrounding coastal islands of Tromsø, or if needed a longer drive into Finland.

We would book again exactly with you guys :-)
Thank you Samuel and Lucas from me and my Family. We took the tour with you on a Saturday on our last night in Norway (October 3rd) and even if it was a very cloudy night you did your best you could in the time allowed and in spite of being a weak night you managed amazing pictures. Muchas Gracias Lucas por la agradable y profunda charla, por compartir tus aventuras y experiencias difíciles en el ártico (y en general) y por las excelentes explicaciones en español. Sobre las Auroras. Fue un placer! Saludos cariñosos de las 4 mexicanas: Marce, y Karina (las de Ciudad de México), Mariana (la de Holanda) y yo Gaby (la de Berlín). Q tengan un fantástico invierno, Have a wonderful winter you two!!

Best tour to aurora
We took the aurora tour in early March with Tomás and Lucas, and it was the perfect choice! We had booked 3 tours with Northern Soul, and the first one was canceled due to bad weather. We went the next day and were very lucky. As soon as we arrived at the chosen location, we saw small lights in the sky, but after checking whether we would go to another spot or not, since there was no cell phone signal due to the hurricane that had occurred nearby, they decided to stay in the same place, which was the right choice, because some time later the lights exploded in the sky, putting on a spectacular show! Tomás took all the photos we asked for, of the whole group, in addition to telling stories and providing various information we didn't have, as did Lucas, who helped us get to the best spot. They made a bonfire to warm us up because it was very windy, and there was delicious soup, coffee, tea, and biscuits! The tour was incredible, and the guides' persistence was fundamental to the success of the night! Thank you so much!! I highly recommend the tour with them!

An amazing aurora adventure - Tromos to Brensholmen
What an unforgettable Northern Lights chase! Our tour with Northern Soul Adventures from Tromsø was absolutely amazing. Filip, our guide and an talented photographer, and Mathias, our outstanding driver, made the whole experience special. They worked so well together and created a warm, friendly atmosphere the entire night. Filip helped me set up my camera to capture the Northern Lights properly. We ended the evening enjoying a delicious soup by a warm bonfire, surrounded by breathtaking views. It was peaceful, cozy, and truly magical. Filip took photos of us and the lights. He knew the perfect spot to see them. If you’re coming to Tromsø and want a genuine, memorable Northern Lights experience, I couldn’t recommend this tour enough.

Minibus Northern Lights Chase with Photography from Tromsø: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Minibus Northern Lights Chase with Photography from Tromsø cost?
+
Prices start at $197 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 Minibus Northern Lights Chase with Photography from Tromsø take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 Minibus Northern Lights Chase with Photography from Tromsø worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 90 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 886 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Minibus Northern Lights Chase with Photography from Tromsø?
+
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 Minibus Northern Lights Chase with Photography from Tromsø suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Minibus Northern Lights Chase with Photography from Tromsø?
+
Around 310 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Minibus Northern Lights Chase with Photography from Tromsø 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.

+
