Great experience in a small group
We had a fantastic time on this trip. The guide was friendly and shared lots of interesting information about the northern lights. He also provided snow suits which were much appreciated. When we found a place to watch the lights, the guide made a little campfire, which made the experience even more special. We really enjoyed the smaller group and would highly recommend this tour.

Best northern lights tour regardless of whether there are northern lights or not.
This was the best northern lights tour I've been on. Most northern lights tours tend to all go to the same places and do the same things: stand on the side of the road try to find the northern lights, then move to a parking lot and make a fire and watch the northern lights. On this trip we actually got off the beaten track and had reindeer sausage (most companies won't do this because they don't want to spend that much on the customer) with a choice of hot chocolate or (some very, very good) chai tea. Even if the northern lights aren't out, you'll have a good time on this trip. I don't write many reviews but I feel like should for this one because it went above and beyond the others. Also, there are options for vegetarians/vegans. And the guide will help with your photography if you want it or will just take some pictures for you.

A magic night
Despite rather bad weather conditions, the guide was able to find a gap in the clouds and we saw the nothern lights! The guide Alba was very talented, not only in navigating based on forecasts and weather cameras, but also making the camp and the camp fire where we had sausages and warm drinks. It was a magic night!

Best Aurora Boreal/Northern Lights hunting tour
The service, the attention and the experience hunting northern lights was amazing. Ascanio Alba was the best during this tour and the girl driver. Obviously, this depends on weather and its sudden change. The attitude of the group was amazing too. We were able to see several Auroras, eat hot dogs under the fire and drink hot chocolate. Best of experience in my life. I appreciate the explanations about my questions too. So, I strongly recommend this tour.

Why this scores 62
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Tromsø Northern Lights with Campfire and Professional Photos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.
How much does Tromsø Northern Lights with Campfire and Professional Photos cost?
+
Prices start at $319 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 with Campfire and Professional Photos 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 with Campfire and Professional Photos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 62 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 17 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 with Campfire and Professional Photos?
+
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 with Campfire and Professional Photos 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 with Campfire and Professional Photos?
+
Around 6 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 with Campfire and Professional Photos 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.
