With international awards and 50,000+ guests, Arctic GM is one of the most trusted operators. Tours are run by certified guides for safety and authenticity.

What you'll see and do
Tromso
Begin your evening in Tromsø, where you’ll meet Arctic GM’s expert Aurora Hunter guides. From here, the hunt begins — routes may lead up to two hours from the city in search of clear skies, navigating fjords, mountain passes, and inland climate pockets. Your guides share Aurora science, Arctic nature, and local legends, supported by Arctic GM’s 24/7 Back Office Aurora Command Center and over 150 field team members across Northern Scandinavia. When conditions align, your journey pauses at hand-picked wilderness locations, far from city glow. Step out into quiet Arctic darkness as shimmering waves of green — sometimes purple — swirl across the night sky. Your guides capture professional DSLR photos of you under the lights, while you warm up with thermal overalls, hot drinks, and light snacks. A perfect blend of science, nature, and Northern magic — and a night you’ll never forget.

Amazing Experience!
Samuel is nice and professional. Although the aurora activity was not high and it was a bit cloudy on that day, Samuel and the driver brought us to different locations to see the aurora and asked us to take photos once the aurora appeared. We had an amazing experience and recommend joining this tour!

Would recomment booking a tour to experience the Northern Lights
The weather conditions during my stay weren‘t the best, it was very cloudy. So I decided to join this tour and it was the best decision I made. It was such a nice experience. We could actually find a perfect spot to experience the northern Lights. Huge thank you to Bernardo and Nelson, who made this possible!

Tromsø Northern Lights Tour with Guaranteed Viewings: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Tromsø Northern Lights Tour with Guaranteed Viewings cost?
+
Prices start at $166 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 Tour with Guaranteed Viewings 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 Tour with Guaranteed Viewings worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 69 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 38 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Tromso, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Tromsø Northern Lights Tour with Guaranteed Viewings?
+
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 Tour with Guaranteed Viewings 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 Tour with Guaranteed Viewings?
+
Around 13 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 Tour with Guaranteed Viewings 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 Northern Lights Chase We Go Where The Lights Appear. 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.
