Join us for a magical evening away from the city lights, where nature and silence create the perfect setting. We take you to a secluded shelter in Vikran, surrounded by snowy mountains and coastal wilderness. A cozy bonfire, delicious food, and the hunt for the northern lights await. We pick you up in Tromsø and drive 40 minutes south before starting a 30-minute scenic hike to the shelter. Along the way, we look for animal tracks, as lynx, wolverines, eagles, and hares roam nearby. At the shelter, we gather around a crackling bonfire, enjoying warm drinks and tasty food cooked over the flames. You can even try making traditional Norwegian campfire bread. If the sky is clear, you’ll have the chance to witness the northern lights dancing above, creating an unforgettable Arctic experience. After an evening of wonder, we hike back and return to Tromsø, leaving you with lasting memories. Feel the crisp air and leave the city life behind for a while. Learn to relax within in the nature!

Super cool with a local as our guide
As a nice detail during our time in Tromsø, we wanted to do something typical for a local there. We are from Barcelona so Tromsø itself is very different from what we are used to, which made it especially interesting to have a local as our guide. From the very beginning he made us feel welcome and well taken care of. You could tell from the start that the guide was enthusiastic and motivated, which was really nice and that energy really carried over to us! It is very impressive to think that they only started touring not very long ago, but still managed everything so well. The pace of the tour was pleasant and very manageable. We ended the experience around a campfire, which was super cozyyy☺️ This was overall such a nice experience

Unforgettable night
This tour is amazing if you want an unforgettable experience, we walked under the polar night, we were told stories and curious facts and finally we ended up with a bonfire that created a magical moment. I definitely recommend it a lot!

Tromso Hike
Amazing experience hiking just outside of Tromso. We were collected from our hotel and after a short ride we put on our snow shoes and began the hike. We had a fire with food and learnt lots about Tromso. Even though it was a little cloudy we had a great view of the city and had an excellent guide. Thoroughly recommend this tour! Thank you!!

Fantastic local tour
We had a fantastic time on the tour the two guides were extremely knowledgable and made the experience super fun. We walked about 30 minutes through the forest to a secluded hut with an open front and campfire. We wernt lucky enough to see the northern lights but we had a great time. We had some food cooked on the open fire, reindeer sausage, some local chocolate and hot drinks/. 100% would recommend much better than a large bus tour!!!!

Private Tour: Starlit Adventure Tour in Tromsø: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Private Tour: Starlit Adventure Tour in Tromsø cost?
+
Prices start at $274 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 Private Tour: Starlit Adventure Tour in Tromsø 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 Private Tour: Starlit Adventure Tour in Tromsø worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 9 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 Private Tour: Starlit Adventure Tour in 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 Private Tour: Starlit Adventure Tour in Tromsø 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 Private Tour: Starlit Adventure Tour in Tromsø?
+
Around 3 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 Private Tour: Starlit Adventure Tour in 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.
