Aurora Hunt with the campfire and professional photographer
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
You can count on many years of The Green Adventure Team experience, local knowledge and the finest photography. On the evening of the tour we will pick you up in front of Scandic Ishavshotel and set off on a comfortable journey in our minibus. In the minibus our expedition leader will do a small introduction about weather conditions, possibilities to see the lights and selected locations. We always work as a team, so we are in contact with other Aurora hunters to increase our chances.
Once we find the right place under the clear skies, we will get ready for the show. We will also set up a bonfire, that's the perfect time to warm up with a cup of hot drink and also roast some sweet marshmallows. By the time we will tell you some interesting stories from the north and legends about lady Aurora. Also you will have a chance to try "made in Tromso" soup, which is tailored for arctic expeditions. After the tour you will receive photos from our expedition leader.

5.00Great outdoor with Kat, super good guide, highly recommendable. Nice tour, good hot-chocolate, fantastic rein-deer soup at a lovely camp fire. Outstanding! Extensive exploration by night even in cold weather it's the best sight with dancing lights. Earth felt experience of magic in the air.

5.00We did this tour with Kat and Rob. What a dedicated team, they found for us northern lights in a hopeless night. they are the best in Tromso, we did also 2 other tours with cheaper companies, but then you can realize who works in this industry for years. On the other tours even if it was end of the season I had a feeling that they have random guides. Unlike The Green Adventure, they knew what they are doing from pick up to the end of the journey when we safely came back to our hotel. Yes! They have hotel drop off.
Super trip ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

4.00We drove for hours and didn't see the lights but it seemed like our guide Lukas really tried his best. He was just as disappointed as the rest of us. Along the way he shared his thought processes and about how they go about chasing the lights. Thermal suits were good, clean and readily available. Headlamps available too. The Reindeer soup by the bonfire was yummy, but don't expect it to be enough for a whole meal. Overall would recommend!

5.00It was really an unforgettable experience! Everything was well-tailored and very organized. Lukas, our tour guide, was very enthusiastic, lively and he really made sure that we'll enjoy the whole experience by achieving our goal of seeing the Aurora Borealis. I would never forget this!
Best birthday gift ever!

5.00Before traveling from Canada to Norway to see the northern lights, me and my sister spent more hours than I care to admit combing through aurora hunt listings for one that looked perfect for us - and I'm extremely happy to say that Green Adventures did not disappoint. We had an amazing night of non-stop aurora shows that was only bettered by the company of our amazing guide and driver. We made a couple of different stops to chase the lights where they looked their brightest, and then settled in on our final location with no one around but our group and a warm fire. Something interesting I noticed is that while one of our guides was driving, our photographer was I think taking images of the aurora through the window, probably to track how good the lights looked on camera. You could definitely tell that the guides wanted to find the lights just as badly as we did. Also, we did not share a viewing spot with any other tour at any of our stops - I had worried about this being a possibility before coming, so that was a big plus for me. In terms of objective positives: this tour lasts a long time, thermal suits are offered to anyone who is interested, the photographers are very skilled, the bus is comfortable and warm, and all photos are shared with your group for free through a link shortly after the tour date. You can purchase the photos for a fee to have the watermark removed, or if you're looking to blow your photo up and hang it on the wall. Though, if you have no plans to purchase a photo, I will say that the watermark on the free version is small (on the bottom of the image) and quite inoffensive to look at. With all of that being said, one of the biggest positives of this tour for me was honestly the vibe. Our photographer was skilled, personable, and extremely excited to watch us all experience the lights. Talking with everyone in our group around the fire was a very sweet experience, and we met some really awesome people that we probably never would've crossed paths with otherwise. One girl even showed up in full Cosplay which was so cool. After everyone had their photos at our final location I even asked the photographer for some photos of me with different contrasts and poses. I'm not sure which of us was more happy with the photo experimentation honestly. All in all, this was the best part of my trip to Norway (and my birthday) and I would absolutely do a tour again with Green Adventures. I hope everyone scouring through pages upon pages of aurora hunt listings like I was a few months ago gets to have as good of an experience on their tour as I did on mine. Ps. they sign off their emails with "may aurora be with you" - and I think that's really cool.
Nothern lights gorgeous experience
