Northern Lights Adventure
Overview

Come and join us on a small group tour (max 8 guests) to experience our passion for the Aurora Borealis. Immerse yourself in the awe-inspiring beauty of the Northern Lights, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
Before you step into our cozy Mercedes 4x4 van, our expert guides scout the evening’s weather, space, and road conditions to select the perfect viewing location.
Leaving Tromsø behind, we’ll journey through the stunning Arctic landscape. At our destination, unwind by a crackling fire with hot beverages, cookies, and traditional Norwegian grilled pølse i brød (sausage) hot dogs. Our guide will share fascinating stories and insights about the Aurora and Northern Norway, answering any questions you have.
When the Northern Lights appear, our guides will capture beautiful portrait photos of you beneath the vibrant sky. A timelapse video will document your evening under the Arctic stars, even if the Aurora is elusive.

Northern Lights with Northbound

5.00It was an amazing experience on 16th December 2024 evening. We started from Tromso in Oli and Ryan's cosy mini van and as promised it was a small group of 8 people in the van. When we reached the destination we were given thermal suits for the bitter cold and we were all ready for sitting in a secluded sea beach waiting for the lights. Unfortunately, it was quite cloudy and we could see the light for a short while and the light was not that strong as well. However, Oli and Ryan made the evening incredibly lively for all of us with their jokes, stories and their experiences in Norway. They lit a bonfire and sitting around a bonfire on a cold windy night, sipping drinking chocolate and munching on grilled hot dogs was perhaps one of the best experience of my life. The best part of the tour was Oli and Ryan - the friendly attitude, the warmth was heartening and I would love to take another tour with Northbound in future.
Had an amazing experience...

5.00Had an amazing experience with Northbound! Despite the weak Northern Lights and challenging weather, Oli and Ryan were incredibly dedicated and professional. They even managed to find us one aurora on our way back, which was truly magical. Thank you so much! The long 3 hour journey flew by as we enjoyed their stories and jokes (and a bit of moose watching). While others were just lighting fires, we were treated to hotdogs, hot chocolate, and freshly made homemade cookies.
Incredible place and Great experience

5.00This was our first time chasing Northern Lights and Oli and Ryan gave us an incredible experience, From the spectacular location, wealth of knowledge on the area and the whole Aurora phenomenon, we have an incredile time with them. The night was a bit cloudy and weather was challenging, but the Aurora's showed up and it was an incredible experience. Highly recomend Northbound for any Tromso experience.
Book this tour. These guys are the real deal.

5.00Ollie and Ryan are what make this tour so great. We loved hearing from Nerdy Ollie about all the facts of the region and insane knowledge of the science behind the lights. They are true hunters and have an insane success rate of finding the lights. They provided food, warmth, entertainment and so many epic photos. Ryan shared stories and took a TON of amazing photos. They thought of everything from cookies and hot chocolate to scheduled bathroom breaks. It is a major commitment to spend THAT much time with strangers. Trust me, you will be fine. This was a once in a lifetime I won't be forgetting. Thanks guys.
We had the most...

5.00We had the most incredible experience with Ryan and Oli from Northbound. They were knowledgeable, keen and entertaining. We had an unforgettable experience with the Northern Lights much more then we could ever have hoped for thanks to them. I can’t recommend Northbound highly enough.
