Things to know before booking your Northern Lights trip in Tromso

  • Types of tours: Cruises offer open fjord views and comfort on board. Buses suit larger groups and are more comfortable. Minivans provide a more flexible and intimate experience with quicker route changes to chase the lights.
  • Duration varies: Northern Lights cruises typically last 3 to 4 hours. Road-based tours may run longer, especially the ones that guarantee the sightings. Combo tours can take most of the evening or extend late into the night.
  • Small vs large group tours: Small-group tours offer a more personalized experience with flexible pacing and direct interaction with your guide, while larger groups provide a more budget-friendly but less private option.
  • Dinner/snack options: If you’re looking for an all-inclusive tour, some cruises serve fish soup, snacks, or even a three-course dinner. Certain combo tours also include traditional Sami meals.
  • Sightings are weather-dependent: The tours depend on clear skies. Cloud cover, snow, and even bright moonlight can reduce visibility. Operators monitor forecasts and may adjust routes, reschedule, or cancel tours to increase your chances.
  • Guaranteed Northern Lights sighting options: The unlimited Northern lights chase tours go as far as needed to ensure you don’t return without spotting the lights.
  • Add-ons available: Thermal suits, fishing gear, photography assistance, or cultural add-ons (Sami or husky camp visits) may be included as add-ons at the time of booking. Photography-focused tours provide expert guidance and equipment tips.

The overall experience was fantastic. Although the bus leader’s English wasn’t completely fluent, it never caused any communication issues. He was dedicated throughout the whole trip—sharing local culture and stories, explaining how to photograph the aurora with a camera, and making sure we didn’t get bored or sleepy during the long drive. We stopped at three different locations. At the largest one, the leader served us hot cocoa and actively searched for signs of the aurora for the group. I was incredibly lucky to witness beautiful, dancing northern lights. The leader also helped take many photos for us—completely free of charge. At the end of the tour, he even dropped me off near my accommodation. Since I’m someone who prefers not to engage in small talk within small group tours, the bus tour format suited me perfectly. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it!
