Unforgettable and marvelus experience
Our experience with The Green Adventure and our guide, Lucas, was wonderful and unforgettable. Lucas is a tireless and passionate hunter, and he made us feel like hunters right alongside him. The traditional food enjoyed around the campfire added an extra special touch. Thank you, Lucas, for providing us with such a rewarding experience.

AMAZING
An absolutely amazing experience! We saw the Northern Lights in Skarsfjord, and the location was perfect. JJ was an outstanding guide: incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and always happy to explain everything in detail. He took fantastic photos of us, and the hot chocolate and soup made the experience even better. We had great conversations throughout the tour, and JJ kept us reassured and positive even when the aurora wasn't at its strongest. In the end, the Northern Lights became incredibly strong and beautiful, giving us one of the greatest experiences of our lives! We couldn't have asked for a better guide or a more memorable evening. Highly recommended!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're thrilled that your patience paid off with such an incredible Northern Lights display in Skarsfjord. JJ will be delighted to hear your kind words! He always puts his heart into making every tour special, and we're so happy he helped make this one of your most memorable experiences. Thank you for trusting us and sharing this magical night with our team!

Memorable evening with great guide
Green Adventure is one of the midsize groups, yet they made it feel intimate and personalized. Our guide, Kat, did a great job navigating us to a beautiful spot with clear skies. Initially it looked like we only had to drive about 20-30 minutes but Kat could see the clouds moving and opted to get ahead of them so we had the best chances of viewing the lights - and boy did she make the right call! It was an incredible show and I’m so grateful to have been exactly where we were. The whole evening was well organized including a lot of helpful knowledge, hot drinks and warm soup by the fire. The pictures were beautiful.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted that Kat's experience and quick decisions helped make your night so special. It's great to hear you enjoyed the atmosphere, campfire, and photos too. Thank you for joining us!

Great Experience
Our tour guide JJ was exceptional. He carefully arranged for us to see the aurora, taking us to areas with low cloud cover and high chances of viewing the northern lights. He even brought us to the riverside where the water had receded. After about three hours, we reached the perfect spot, where we could see the Northern Lights with our naked eyes. Surprisingly, the lights appeared from the east. We then enjoyed a bonfire, reindeer soup, hot chocolate, and marshmallows. JJ explained the science behind the northern lights in great detail. With two teenagers in our group, they really enjoyed his narration and explanation about the phenomenon, including the effects of solar flares and Earth's magnetic field. The five-and-a-half-hour trip was an unforgettable, once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience in such detail! It means a lot to us to know that JJ made the night so special for your family. He is truly passionate about the Northern Lights, and we’re especially happy to hear that your teenagers enjoyed his explanations and enthusiasm. These are exactly the kind of experiences we love creating for our guests. Thank you for trusting us with your Northern Lights adventure, and we hope these memories stay with you for many years to come!

Northern Lights Hunt with The Green Adventure - photos included: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Northern Lights Hunt with The Green Adventure - photos included cost?
+
Prices start at $208 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 Northern Lights Hunt with The Green Adventure - photos included 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 Northern Lights Hunt with The Green Adventure - photos included worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 89 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 848 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 Northern Lights Hunt with The Green Adventure - photos included?
+
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 Northern Lights Hunt with The Green Adventure - photos included 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 Northern Lights Hunt with The Green Adventure - photos included?
+
Around 297 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 Northern Lights Hunt with The Green Adventure - photos included 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.
