The Ultimate Aurora Experience – Comfort, Adventure, and Free Photos

Join the Northern Lights Big Bus Tour – Tromso’s best-value aurora experience, trusted by over 60,000 guests since 2012. With Arctic Explorers, you’re guided by real aurora experts and passionate photographers.

Our spacious, heated big bus offers onboard WiFi and toilets, ensuring a warm and comfortable ride even on the longest chases.

We assign 1–2 experienced guides with cameras, capturing amazing photos of you under the auroras – completely free.

Tours last 7–9 hours, and we often drive deep into the wilderness, even into Finland or Sweden, to find clear skies.

We never give up early – this is a real chase. Avoid booking early morning tours the next day, as we may return as late as 02:30 AM.

✔️ Ideal for families, friends, and first-time aurora hunters

    Great trip. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. They constantly monitor weather conditions and were able to find a spot with clear skies to watch the aurora.

  • Avoid this company!

    We had an extremely disappointing and unacceptable experience with this company, and I feel obligated to warn other travelers. The scheduled departure time for our aurora borealis excursion was 17:30. We arrived at the agreed meeting point at 17:20, well in advance. Upon arrival, one guide instructed us to go around the corner to another location where a bus was supposedly waiting for us. We followed those instructions, but when we reached the indicated bus, the driver told us that it was not the correct one. We then walked around searching for the correct bus, asking multiple drivers and guides for assistance. Each time we received conflicting information. One guide redirected us back to the original meeting point. After going back and forth several times and receiving contradictory directions, a guide finally escorted us to one of the buses we had already checked — where passengers were already boarding — and we ended up being the last to get on due entirely to their poor organization and miscommunication. Because we boarded last, only scattered seats remained. We were traveling with a 7-year-old child, and the guides — who were notably unfriendly and unhelpful — told us that if we wanted to sit together, it was our responsibility to ask other passengers to move. This is completely unacceptable, as seating arrangements and passenger assistance should be managed by the company staff, especially when families with children are involved. To make matters worse, the staff then approached other passengers and falsely claimed that we were asking to take their seats. Since I understand English well, I immediately corrected them and explained that this was not true. Shortly afterward, we were told to get off the bus because allegedly the driver did not want to travel with us. We calmly refused, as we had done nothing wrong and had paid for the excursion. Eventually, the company manager arrived. Despite our clear explanation of the situation, the bus remained delayed, and the police were called. We were forced to leave and ultimately missed the excursion that we had already paid for. We then booked the same type of excursion with another company, where we were treated with professionalism, kindness, and respect — demonstrating that the problem was clearly not us, but the lack of organization and poor customer handling of this company. This experience was stressful, unfair, and completely avoidable. The staff showed poor communication, lack of accountability, and unacceptable customer service, especially toward a family traveling with a young child. I strongly recommend that other travelers consider alternative companies unless this organization significantly improves its professionalism, communication, and respect for clients.

    This Northern Lights tour with Ángel and Dimitar was exceeding all our expectations. We were lucky to have clear skies and the most amazing view of the auroras. The guides were always friendly, helpful and in good mood. The photos were stunning and a great way to remember a great trip. I can only recommend this tour!

    We were traveling with Alberto and Angel - both were super nice and made the tour special. We were the only bus in a beautiful, spacious place from which we could admire the beautiful aurora borealis. Thank you for that!
