Come with us for your Express Aurora Hunt and have a guaranteed early return to Tromsø city centre. This tour is ideal for guests who want a later start and a shorter tour (4 hours), to be well rested the next morning.
Leave the city lights behind and travel into the Arctic wilderness. During this activity, your small team of Aurora guides check the forecasts and uses local knowledge to decide on the best place to chase the Northern Lights within an hour's drive from town. On this activity, we will travel wherever looks safest and with the best chances of seeing the Northern Lights within 1 hr of Tromsø city centre. Once we arrive at the best location, we will wait for the show to begin. In the meantime, our guides will tell you stories about the North and the science behind the Aurora. We'll have you back at the city centre or Breivika terminal 4 hours after the start time.

Excellent agency, punctual, easy communication via WhatsApp with Katrina, we saw the Aurora on both hunts. The guides were sensational. We loved it!

I loved the express tour which is great if you’re short in time. Ellie got us to the lights in the first 40 minutes and we had a magical display. I will definitely go back on one of their tours and it was nice that Ellie was enthusiastic as we were about getting to see the lights.

Coen and Gerard were absolutely fantastic. Even though it was 100% rain all day, they were able to make our dreams come true and found a break to see the northern lights! They also somehow found a way to keep us dry. Thank you for an amazing night!
