Northern Lights Adventure with Greenlander, 8 people max
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
Welcome, Greenlander welcomes you on the most adventurous Northern Lights chase in the Northern Norway. You will be guided by a pro photographer (see proof from our Instagram or Facebook page,) who will safely take you around the perimeter on a 4x4 modified Mercedes Benz minivan.
The tour consists central pickup, warm meal, hot drinks, tripods, thermal suit, boots, campfire(if conditions allow,) Aurora portraits and so much more.
Greenlander has a reputation of not giving up and therefore having one of the highest success rates in the business, around 95%-98% chance of catching the elusive Northern Lights. Please consider, the weather can be harsh and sometimes we have to chase for hours, before we can even see first stars. This tour might not suit for elder, obese and unfit participants, as sometimes we hike in a snow and our minivan is rather compact compared to bigger buses used by bigger companies.

5.00Markus is an excellent guide. Not only does he go above and beyond to find the best skies for the Northern Lights, but his genuine passion for his work truly shines through during the tour. The conditions weren’t looking great last night, but he drove almost all the way to Finland until he found a spot where he told us it would be worth waiting. Just five minutes later, the lights appeared and we had a breathtaking show. Thank you, Markus! Florencia & Julian
Northern Lights Amazement

5.00Markus was our guide, photographer and driver besides being a very nice person! Our group had a wonderful time on our drive from Tromso, Norway to Iittosuvanto, Finland to find clear skies where we could see the spectacular Aurora Borealis display. It did not disappoint and we were completely satisfied with the experience and Markus' ability to find the perfect spot to view this amazing phenomenon.
We Found the Northern Light Thanks to Markus!

5.00It was cloudy, overcast night in Alta as we started out on our Northern Lights Adventure with Greenlander. As we drove, the weather got worse, and soon we were driving through a driving snow storm. It looked hopeless. There was no way we would see the Northern Lights tonight. But our driver and guide, Markus, remained optimistic. He was not to be deterred. Suddenly, somewhere past the Finland border, the snow slowed and then stopped. The sky cleared. And magically, the Northern Lights appeared. Our guide Markus had been doing this for 13 years, but his excitement was like a kid at Christmas. He set up his tripod and took lots of pictures, as did we. It truly was a once in a lifetime experience. Thank you, Markus and Greenlander, for making it happen!
Excitement & Knowledgeable

5.00We had the absolute best experience with Arbo! He was amazing and his excitement was contagious. We trusted him and the data he had. He was extremely knowledgeable and it paid off. This was our first experience and it set a high bar for future experiences.
Best northern lights trip!

5.00We have been to three other countries, chasing the northern lights but have not seen them. We flew specifically to Tromso hoping to see the northern lights and we were not disappointed! Arbo found the best spot and we were able to take many pictures. This trip made our dream come true. The best pictures we have though are the ones Atbo (who is also a professional photographer) took which we will treasure. The hot dinner he made following building a campfire was unexpected but so pleasant to enjoy as the temperature was cold. We highly recommend this excursion.
The perfect Northern Lights hunt (and a dream proposal!)

5.00Our tour with Hans from Greenlander was unbeatable. We are so grateful for his professionalism and his genuine warmth. Hans is truly passionate about chasing the Northern Lights; he went above and beyond to find clear skies, ensuring we could witness such a breathtaking spectacle. The scientific explanation he gave us on how the auroras are formed allowed us to appreciate and enjoy the lights on a much deeper level. Moreover, Hans was kind enough to capture my marriage proposal. He took care of everything, allowing me to stay in the moment, and the results couldn't have been more perfect. Without a doubt, every time I return to Tromsø, I will be booking with Hans from Greenlander again.
A night we'll never forget

5.00We booked this tour about two months before we came to Tromso. We picked Greenlander for two reasons. One: Small group size (there were 8 of us with our guide/driver, Markus). This meant we'd likely be quicker and more agile than larger tours. And Two: reviews suggested Greenlander would (seemingly literally) go the the ends of the Earth to find you auroras. Their success rate is very high, and they didn't seem to be worried about being out late if required. These two reasons really played out on our night. In Tromso, where we were picked up, it was overcast and raining and it didn't feel to us that our chances would be good. Markus poured over all sorts of satellite data and came to the conclusion that if we headed north for a while, we 'might' break into areas with some auroral views. After a lot of driving and a couple stops that didn't yield much, we found a third spot where the clouds broke again, and we had some very nice views. What happened then over the next 30-60 minutes was (to us) nothing short of a miracle. The skies parted, and the northern lights put on a show unlike anything we'd ever seen before. Coming and going, in different directions, there were times when you almost didn't know which way to look! It even started to shine directly above us. After a while, Markus built a small fire, busted out some chairs, and served tea and hot chocolate to anyone who wanted it. He also had hot water and served some freeze-dried camp food that was very tasty. All the while with Auroras constantly distracting us from our seats to keep looking up. Eventually we packed up and were dropped off at our hotel around 1:30AM. It is worth pointing out just what a pleasure it was to be led by such a nice, generous, and competent person in Markus. We did not think we'd see anything standing in the rain in Tromso, but ultimately we were treated to a night we will never forget. His energy was infectious, bouncing around the area in order to take pictures -- which he shared with us later. Auroral photography is another skill Markus has mastered. Simply put, if you are in Tromso and want to go on a Aurora tour, look no further than Greenlander! Obviously I can not guarantee that you will have a night like we did, but I guarantee that Markus and his team will do everything they can to give you the best chance at having that once-in-a-lifetime experience.
Great Experience

5.00We went on a Northern Lights tour with Greenlander for my birthday a few weeks ago. Although it was a cloudy night and we didn’t get to see too much Northern Lights action, our tour guide Hans truly tried his best to give us the best experience possible. He drove us almost to Sweden trying to find a clearer sky- he truly could not have done anything more. We loved hearing his camping stories around the camp fire, and the photos we received from him the next morning were a great memory of the night!
Northern Lights Magic!

Worth it

5.00We had a great tour and saw the northen lights three different times during the night. Our tour guide Arbo was very nice and very good at finding the perfect spots for aurora watching. He also took great pictures that he has shared with us. The tour itself is a bit expensive but totally worth it for a lifetime experience. It was our dream to see the northen lights so we decided on this tour for its great reviews and small groups. Being on a small group meant we had more flexibility and we could easily stop wherever was best to see the lights. I totally recommend this tour, it was worth it and Arbo made our dreams come true!
