Northern Lights Big Bus Chase
Overview
Available languages
Budget-Friendly Northern Lights Chase – Offers an affordable way to hunt for the Northern Lights while maintaining comfort in a modern, heated bus.
Flexibility to Find Clear Skies – Our route adapts based on weather conditions, sometimes taking us inland, along the coast, or even into Finland to maximize the chances of seeing the aurora.
Transparency About Challenges – We prioritize finding clear skies over scenic locations due to increased road traffic. Stops may be alongside roads, but our goal is to provide the best possible view of the Northern Lights.
Comfort with Realistic Expectations – The bus offers warmth, though it may cool down on particularly cold nights. Guests are encouraged to dress in warm layers for added comfort.
Guided by Experts – Knowledgeable guides provide insights and help with photography, ensuring a memorable experience.

5.0Amazing tour! The guides were physics students at the University of Norway and were incredibly passionate about the tour. They knew the perfect area to take us and we saw incredible dancing auroras and polar clouds. The guides went out of their way to get great photos of everyone on the tour as well.

5.0Satisfied with this tour. Nice experience for my family. Thanks for the service. I recommend to others.
Never book in advance if you are not sure of the weather.

1.0This is not the first time we try to see the northern lights with a guide, but the difference between this tour company and others is that this company does not cancel the trip if there is no chance to see anything because of the weather. They fed you with fake promises of a gap in the sky, which never appears, because the whole northern Scandinavia was covered with a huge rain cloud, and I could already know it just from my phone. But anyway, they take you to the middle of nowhere for 10 hours by bus, with dangerous driving conditions, with no chance to see the aurora, because they are too greedy to cancel the trip and give a refund. So my advice, never book this tour in advance, only book the day before when you know for sure the weather will be good. These people are not interested in you to see aurora, they just grind your money, which could be okay if I did not know that other companies cancel and refund booking to not waste your time. This company wasted a whole day of my vacation, as you back to the city around 4 am, and need next day to recover from this "experience".
Really great hosts!

4.0The bus was really, really comfortable, easy to have a nap in during the long evening! The guides were very knowledgeable about where to go to have the best chance of seeing the lights. Plus the campfire and hot drinks were a really nice touch.
I would like to thank...
