What you'll see and do
Tromso
Begin your evening tour in search of the Northern Lights with a convenient pickup from city center of Tromsø.. You'll embark on a nighttime hunt for the sometimes elusive Aurora Borealis. Although Norwegian nights are cold and it can take up to several hours to see the colorful light show, the wait is worth it. You're provided with a thermal suit, a snow-side bonfire, and hot drinks and snacks to keep warm along the way. Your 8-passenger tour vehicle takes you deep into the darkness with a small group and a professional photographer as your guide. In addition to snapping your own photos, your guide will take pictures of you under the lights and be of assistance to help with your own equipment, including provided tripods; a Canon is available for a fee. Professional photos taken during the tour are later sent to you via email or social media. After a stop for dinner, your 7-hour tour ends with hotel drop-off in Tromsø after midnight.

Fantastic!!
The most fantastic tour, and Horia needs a raise! He went above and beyond to make sure, that we had the best trip. A true gem! We were so lucky, and saw the most spectacular northern lights, while we sat around the fire, and walked the frozen lake in Finland. A trip we will never forget!

Beyond-expectation Extraordinary Northern-Light Hunting
If you are finding any beyond-expected northern-light hinting, stop here and pick it! DON'T HESITATE! BOOK IT RIGHT NOW! It is a completely unforgettable extraordinary experience together with our guide Horia. He is professional, passionate, experienced, and humorous. He knows exactly where to find the right position and time for the best northern light, in terms of many forecasts. During the trip, we watched northern lights bursting TWICE! That is definitely one of the most excellent journeys I have ever experienced! Never so close to nature! He is also very kind and enthusiastic. After the trip, it was so late to catch the last bus and he dropped us off exactly before our apartment. Thanks for all the service that is pretty rewarding. I deeply recommend it with 120% confidence! I will definitely book it again when I come back. Best Regards from Hedong

Unforgettable
We did the tour on December 9th, and was just spectacular. Our guide was Horia, and he was amazing, funny and helpful. He explained us about the Aurora, and clarified our questions. He took as many photos as we wanted and didn’t bother about our “complains” because of the weather 😂 He also looked for the best spot to us to see the northern lights with comfort, so we dons freeze. At the tour you’ll have something to eat and hot drinks, and thermal clothes what is much appreciated and needed! An unforgettable experience with an incredible agency/guide! I deeply recommend it, and when I came back I’ll absolutely book with they again. Many thank for everything and kind regards from Spain/Brazil.

Amazing Night Under the Lights
We had an amazing experience and felt very lucky to witness the amazing Aurora dancing above us! Andrei was informative and attentive. He helped with my camera setup & provided addl photos he took himself. (Also provided tripod) I'm usually not one for tours, but this tour I 100% recommend!

Passionate guide
We had a great time hunting the aurora (and seeing it) with Andrei. He is a very knowledgeable guide whose own passion and hobby is aurora and astronomy. Nobody can predict or guarantee that aurora is gonna be visible that night, however if its possible Andrei will make you see it. He took good care of us with the warmth of the fire, hot drinks and some sweets. We can only recommend him for a true polar experience! Lucy and Peter from Hungary

Why this scores 81
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Northern Lights Tour Including Photos Under the Lights in Tromso: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Northern Lights Tour Including Photos Under the Lights in Tromso cost?
+
Prices start at $271 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 Tour Including Photos Under the Lights in Tromso take?
+
Plan for about 6.5 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 Northern Lights Tour Including Photos Under the Lights in Tromso worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 81 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 165 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 Northern Lights Tour Including Photos Under the Lights in Tromso?
+
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 Tour Including Photos Under the Lights in Tromso suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Northern Lights Tour Including Photos Under the Lights in Tromso?
+
Around 58 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 6.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Northern Lights Tour Including Photos Under the Lights in Tromso 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.

What languages is Northern Lights Tour Including Photos Under the Lights in Tromso offered in?
+

Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Northern Lights Tour Including Photos Under the Lights in Tromso?
+
