    About this experience

    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.

    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.

    This is the BEST tour! Fantastic, friendly, knowledgeable team!

    Awesome trip… I was hesitant because it was pouring down rain and cloudy, not sure I wanted to go. So happy we went anyways. Because this turned out to be a great time. The mini bus was very new and comfortable.We had to drive about two and a half hours, almost to Finland to see northern Lights tonight. We were very impressed with Tomas and his expertise in searching satellites for the colorful skies on a rainy, cloudy night. He found the northern lights and where to stop for the event. He helped with cameras and took pictures of each couple/group. When there was a little lull from the lights we had a nice fire, soup, cookies and cocoa.. The sky lit up several times with colors and designs. Everyone was super friendly so the trip was comfortable. A long night but definitely worth it. I did my research and there are many choices. Happy I made the right choice and went with Northern Soul Adventures.

    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 $249 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 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 885 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    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 Northern Lights Minibus Chase from Tromsø with Chasing Lights, Northern Lights Big Bus Chase with Chasing Lights, Tromsø Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear. 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.
