Birthday with aurora
Birthday night chasing the dawn. . On a sandy and snowy beach, I received a beautiful birthday present and aurora dances were revealed. Gaia was a very good guide, kind, prepared and very determined. Thank you.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for sharing this special moment with us! We’re so happy the aurora showed up for you as the perfect gift. Gaia will be very happy to hear your kind words—we’ll make sure to pass them on. Wishing you a wonderful year ahead, and we hope to see you again in Tromsø!

Dress warmly! And be patient. Your efforts will be rewarded. Mickey was a wonderful guide and you won’t forget this experience.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! You’re absolutely right — warm clothes and a little patience are essential ingredients for a magical Northern Lights experience 😊 And when the Aurora finally appears, it makes the whole adventure unforgettable ✨ We’re especially happy to hear that Mickey helped make the evening so special for you. He’ll be very glad to know his guidance and company left such a positive memory. Thank you again for choosing Arctic Wild Tours and we hope to welcome you back to Northern Norway someday!

I loved it. Small group, nice guide and great aurora
It really was an amazing night. The guide was fantastic, he took great pics and told us many stories. We drove not too far since the forcast was really good. Full moon and scenic landscape
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re very happy to hear that you had such an amazing night. Sometimes we don’t need to drive far when the forecast is on our side, and it sounds like the combination of the full moon, the Arctic scenery, and the Northern Lights created a truly special atmosphere ✨ We’re also glad you enjoyed the stories and the photos from your guide. Thank you again for joining Arctic Wild Tours.

Great Experience and good Guide
This was our third day chasing the northern lights and the guide Alex was great in helping us to get to see the northern lights. He explained clearly about northern lights formation and its probability of appearence. He ensured everyone's safety and also served us with dinner (we are vegetarians and were skeptical of food) which was great. I will recommend others for the tour
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re very happy to hear that Alex helped make your Northern Lights experience special after several days of chasing the Aurora ✨ His passion for explaining the science behind the phenomenon and making sure everyone feels safe and comfortable is something we truly value. We’re also glad that you enjoyed the vegetarian dinner and that everything met your expectations. Thank you for your recommendation — it truly means a lot to us! We hope to welcome you again someday with Arctic Wild Tours

Don't leave without doing it
Experience simply superlative. If you go on a trip like this, you need to know that you have done everything possible to see one of the most exciting shows on the globe. If going on a tour clearly increases the chances of seeing the aurora, with Lorenzo you will also go looking for the right place to enjoy it. In 10 days there I saw more than a few green stripes in the sky, but only with the tour I "unlocked" the real experience. Truly unforgettable moments. ps = I would go back immediately even just to taste the hot soup!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your beautiful words! We’re truly happy to hear that the tour gave you the “real” Northern Lights experience you were hoping for ✨ Chasing the Aurora is not only about finding clear skies, but also about finding the perfect place and atmosphere to fully enjoy the moment. It means a lot to know that these memories will stay with you. And we absolutely loved your comment about the hot soup too 😊 Thank you again for joining Arctic Wild Tours

Small Group Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase with Photos and Dinner: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Small Group Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase with Photos and Dinner cost?
+
Prices start at $145 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 Small Group Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase with Photos and Dinner take?
+
Plan for about 7 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 Small Group Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase with Photos and Dinner worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 65 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 10 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 Small Group Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase with Photos and Dinner?
+
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 Small Group Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase with Photos and Dinner suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Small Group Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase with Photos and Dinner?
+
Around 4 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 7-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Small Group Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase with Photos and Dinner 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 is included in Small Group Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase with Photos and Dinner?
+
Included: Thermic Suites; Snacks; Professional Photographer; Dinner; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Hotel pick-up and drop off; and Warm Boots. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Small Group Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase with Photos and Dinner?
+

What languages is Small Group Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase with Photos and Dinner offered in?
+
