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: 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.
