Fantastic aurora tour with Max!
I joined Max’s aurora tour last night, and I just want to say how grateful I am for such a wonderful experience. Max is both a geographer and a photographer, and he is incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and professional. You can truly tell how much he loves what he does, which made the whole tour even more special. I had actually joined another aurora tour the night before, so I could clearly feel the difference. Max’s explanations were engaging and informative, and I learned so much about the science behind the aurora, which made the experience even more fascinating. Before joining the tour, I had already seen many positive comments about Max online. After experiencing the tour myself, I completely understand why so many people recommend him and the tour.

Magical experience on the Artic
It was an unreal experience, from the scientific explanation to the hospitality whilst camping. The team did everything in there hands to find an aurora even on low season, and they made it happen. 100% would repeat the experience.

Simply Brilliant
A huge thanks to Martin for safely getting us to the destination, Harry for explaining the phenomenon of the northern lights in relatable terms and taking excellent photographs and lastly, but definitely not leastly, the Gods in putting on an excellent celestial display!!

Incredible Experience - Highly Recommend this company (and Harry as your guide)
Absolutely fantastic. It didn't hurt that we had amazing viewing of the northern lights, but Harry, our guide was incredible- super knowledgeable, palpable excitement about the hunt and what we were seeing, walked us through the science of the lights and his process for predicting where to go see them. There were 12 of us in a van for 15 (17 including driver and guide), but we did not feel cramped and it was easy to get in and out. The reindeer sausage, cookies, tea and cocoa were all tasty and appreciated. We experienced some incredible lights and Harry was constantly at the ready to take pro photos of the experience (sent to us that night) so we could concentrate on enjoying the lights rather than fiddling with our cameras. Our tour was listed as 6-8 hours - many others listed were as 6 hour or 6-7 hours. I mention this because a noteworthy moment was close to the six hour mark Harry decided to change locations as our then location was starting to get some clouds - it would have been easy to coast to the six hour point and call it a night, but instead Harry stated we should try another location about 30 minutes away - where we arrived just in time for an incredible "substorm" that floored us all. In my mind it really spoke to their dedication to showing you an incredible experience - no clock watching or cutting corners. Also afterwards everyone was dropped off at their hotels, not just the city center or meeting spot. Simply every element was well done and provided for a great time. Highly recommend!!!!

Tromsø Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Tromsø Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear cost?
+
Prices start at $86 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 We Go Where The Lights Appear 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 Tromsø Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 93 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 589 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most highly reviewed in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tromsø Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear?
+
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 We Go Where The Lights Appear 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 Tromsø Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear?
+
Around 206 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 Tromsø Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear 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 Northern Lights Minibus Chase from Tromsø with Chasing Lights, Northern Lights Big Bus Chase with Chasing Lights, Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive. 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.
