Great tour with Sam - thank you!
Sam was truly a great guide. He successfully found the best spots for northern lights, and we saw magical northern lights all over the place. In addition, he was constantly caring for our well-being, set up a nice campfire and plenty of food and goodies. He was constantly shooting photos with his professional camera, which he right after the tour uploaded and provided us without any extra charge (which is a rarely found gesture these days). Highly personal service with a truly knowledgeable and pleasant guide and truly enjoyable. We had a fantastic tour with our mini group of 8. We can wholeheartedly recommend Sam as a tour operator and tour guide.

Absolutely fantastic tour
We had an absolutely fantastic tour with Sam! The service was exceptional; he truly took care of everyone in the group, even providing hand warmers which was a thoughtful touch. Sam is also a talented photographer and captured beautiful photos for us. We couldn't be happier with the entire experience. Thank you, Sam!

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Foods & Pictures: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Foods & Pictures cost?
+
Prices start at $242 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 Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Foods & Pictures take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Foods & Pictures worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 2 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 Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Foods & Pictures?
+
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 Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Foods & Pictures suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Foods & Pictures?
+
Around 1 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Foods & Pictures 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 Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Foods & Pictures?
+
Included: Lunch; Hand Warmer; Chairs; Snacks; and Warm suit for added comfort. Not included: hotel pick-up not included; and Winter boots, gloves, scarves, and hats. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Where is the meeting point for Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Foods & Pictures?
+
Meeting Point: Outside the entrance of Clarion The Edge Hotel (by the statue at the main entrance), where your guide will meet and greet you. Hotel pickup is not included, so plan your own transport and arrive 15 minutes early.
What languages is Tromsø: Northern Lights Chase, Local Guide, Foods & Pictures offered in?
+
