Tromso Aurora Hunt with Bonfire, Soup, Winter Gear & Transfers
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Come with us for your Aurora hunt for an amazing and ethical experience underneath the Aurora Borealis. Leave the light pollution in Tromsø behind and travel into the Arctic wilderness. During this tour, our small team of Aurora guides check the forecasts & use local knowledge to decide on the best place to chase the Northern Lights. When we find the best spot, we will dress in warm thermal suits and boots, make a cosy campfire, and enjoy a homemade meal.
You'll be shown how to use your camera, photograph the Aurora, and our guides will take photos of you, available for free in web-sized resolution after the tour.
During our time together in the wilderness, we will collect data for a citizen science project and help protect the Arctic nature through responsible tourism.
Enjoy our hot chocolate before being returned to Tromsø island to your hotel. Though there is never a guarantee of seeing this phenomenon, our experienced team will do their best every night of the season.

Once in a lifetime -- NOT to be missed

5.00Issac and Olivier were amazing guide & driver! Both gentlemen's excitement over the quality of the Auroras was infectious. Issac in particular was positive, high energy, and very engaging. His scientific knowledge of what we were seeing in the atmosphere was remarkable. Also, his knowledge of the connections between astronomy and Greek mythology was impressive. And, I haven't even gotten to his photographs! The guy is amazing -- he's a photographer, too! Spend the money to buy a couple of his photos in the highest quality pixalation -- truly remarkable!
Had a great time. Magda...

5.00This was a big group trip for a friend’s birthday, we were incredibly lucky with the amazing lights but even luckier with having Mia as our guide. She truly looked after us and made the experience one to remember. Her knowledge of the lights, friendly personality and amazing photography skills were honestly invaluable.
