    Amazing guides! I was...

    Amazing guides! Since this was a special stop on our anniversary trip, I was really hoping for a magical experience, but the forecast of 100% cloud cover in Tromsø left me feeling a bit hopeless about seeing the Northern Lights. Despite the weather, Gabriel and Bert stayed optimistic. As we drove out of the city, they explained the science behind the Aurora Borealis and their strategies for 'chasing' the clearest skies. We eventually parked in a clear area where they started a campfire. We enjoyed warm drinks and reindeer sausages (which I highly recommend!) by the fire while they pointed out visible stars and constellations. Sure enough, their strategy worked. All of a sudden, the Aurora Borealis appeared. They had their SLR cameras ready and took as many photos as we wanted with the dancing lights right behind us. I cannot recommend this tour enough. Gabriel and Bert were knowledgeable, well-prepared, and genuinely passionate about ensuring the group was taken care of. The vehicle was very comfortable, and we were safely driven right back to our hotel after the trip.

    Aurora experience

    Our guide, Max, was very passionate and shared a lot of interesting information about the auroras. Thank you, Max! Unfortunately, during the past couple of days the weather wasn’t in our favor because there were always clouds. We spent quite a lot of time traveling to one specific location, and when we arrived it was still quite cloudy. After that we traveled back, and we were only able to see a faint aurora for about 10 minutes because the peak had already passed. Nevertheless, the sausage and the campfire were very nice and made the experience enjoyable. It’s important to remember that this is a natural phenomenon, so of course it can’t be guaranteed. If the skies are clear, I would definitely recommend this tour. The whole experience with the campfire and everything else makes it special.

    Terrific Tour. Once in a Lifetime Experience!

    This was one of the most amazing trips I have been on in my 62 years. To put that into context, I've been lucky enough to visit every continent (including Antarctica). We hedged our bets and scheduled 3 aurora tours during our 4-night stay in Tromso in hopes that at least one of them would be successful. There was a snow storm the first night. The tour company (not Northern Lights) did the best they could and tried multiple locations. But it was a bust. But then...on the day of our Northern Horizon tour with tour guide Max, Dec. 10, 2025, we were treated to a magnificent show. So much so that when we thought it was over and we were packing up from our cozy fire ring where we had reindeer sausage, Max said "Look! It's even better!" And it just continued to be better and better. Max took so many pictures of all of us on the tour, as well as images of the sky and surrounding area, and a timelapse of the aurora, which are made available to all of us. He's really good at aurora photography. I would highly recommend Northern Horizon. The mini bus was comfortable, they gave us warm suits and boots to use, and provided food, Max gave us a lot of information about the aurora and was incredibly helpful and interesting. Tromso is a wonderful place to see the aurora, but keep in mind, you never know what the conditions will be on the night you want to see them. The Kp index was low during the time we were there, so I almost cancelled...but we were assured that because Tromso sits directly in the aurora oval, there can be stunning displays even at a low Kp level. So, here's wishing you get clear, dark skies!

    Amazing Experience

    We went on a Northern Lights Tour with Northern Horizons for my birthday a few weeks ago, and it was a FANTASTIC experience. Our tour guide Max was insanely knowledgeable about the Northern Lights! He shared his knowledge with us on the way out of Tromsø for the evening, which was a highlight of our trip. We stopped quite a few times to see the lights make small appearances before Max decided on the best place for us to set up camp for the night- with Max providing a photo op at each stop. After communicating with other guides, Max decided on a location for us to set up camp. He and Martin (our amazing driver) began working on a fire to cook our dinner for the night- pølse and lompe, cookies, and warm drinks- it was honestly such a great meal. However, every time we began to cook our sausages, Lady Aurora treated us to a show (what a problem to have)! We got incredibly lucky to be treated to such an amazing show where the Northern Lights danced across the entire sky for quite a while. My family and I really enjoyed watching Max run to get the best shot of the aurora as they evolved, and the photos we were sent the next morning were absolutely incredible! Even if we were not as lucky to see such an amazing show, it still would’ve been a great experience. What sets Northern Horizons apart is that they have an amazing team of drivers like Martin who keep us safe on the road while the tour guide is able to focus solely on finding the best location to see the lights. We will definitely be back to take another tour again in the future!

    Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Tromso.

    How much does Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive cost?

    +

    Prices start at $143 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: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive 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: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 92 out of 100, which we label "90+ Club". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 951 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. Scoring 90 or above puts it in the Outty 90+ Club, the top tier of everything we rank.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive?

    +

    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: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive 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: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive?

    +

    Around 333 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: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive 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.
