Join an all-inclusive northern lights chase with experienced The Green Adventure Team. You can count on many years of our experience, local knowledge and the finest photography, because if there's an Aurora waiting for us somewhere, we'll find her! We will take you to the areas with the best viewing potential for the night, away from city light pollution, even to Finland if necessary.
Enjoy a campfire with marshmallows and cup of hot chocolate in the wilderness, while our expedition leader will tell you some interesting stories from the north and legends about lady Aurora. Also you will have a chance to try "made in Tromso" soup, tailored for arctic expeditions, which will keep you warm from the inside. You will get also thermal suit to survive in cold temperatures.
After the tour, you'll receive photos taken by our expedition leader, capturing the highlights of your adventure and your portraits with Aurora, but of course, we can also help you with your camera/smartphone settings.

A memorable night

5.00Oh, awesome. We were incredibly lucky with the weather conditions and our guide, Julian, took us to a spectacular lake where we saw the authors over the mountains, with its wonderful light reflected in the lake. It is the second year we have been to Tromso and both times we have successfully hunted women authors!
10 out of 10 experience

5.00Great experience! Auroras came out strong tonight and our guide Julian’s enthusiasm added to our night. He made sure everyone had ample photo ops multiple times in the night and helped me with my camera settings. Highly recommend.

5.00I have to give massive props to our guide Jess. She was so determined to find the lights amongst ever-changing cloud cover. It was late into the night and most people on the bus were asleep but Jess was focused hard on the sky all the way to the end and we were able to see a small section of the lights! Thank you Jess Additionally, Kat from the office was an absolute saviour. I had flight delays and Kat helped me out when Viator wouldn't. Great company all around!
A great green adventure!

5.00Beautiful evening, also thanks to the fortunate weather conditions. The only flaw: the soup was freeze dried, freshly prepared with hot water... everything else was perfectly organized! A real adventure!!!!
Amazing family adventure!

5.00We had a lovely time, and even though it was bitter cold, our guide made sure we were able to stay comfortable by keeping the van warm and building the campfire early on. The northern lights were fantastic and our guide was very knowledgeable about them as well as the area in general. Thank you for a memorable adventure!

5.00It was amazing, we drove not far before seeing our first northern lights, we then carried on to where we had dinner around the campfire which was tasty and great time. Our guide, JJ was incredible, very kind and knowledgable, we saw some more lights despite the moon being bright
The green adventure, an amazing tour group so focussed on providing the best possible Aurora experience

5.00So accomodating, very focussed on providing the best possible Aurora experience. So our booked tour was with another company who didn’t show. The team from Green adventure at very last minute able to accomodate my husband and I. We drove several hours out of Tromso, south to escape the snowy weather and were blessed with a brief but amazing Aurora experience. The guide JJ was very knowledgeable and drove us safely though the stormy weather to a clear area of Norway to experience the Aurora with locally made soup. I would give this tour group and JJ 10 out of 10. And will recommend them to any and all who come to tromso Norway
