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.

High on effort, low on execution

4.00This is a compromise rating. On effort, I give our guide and driver a 5. But, on execution, a 3. I can't fault them for the weather, and we did see lights, thanks to their effort. But, first, if there's a 3-4 hour drive, most tours have some facts or games or stories or even music to keep the guests engaged, at least on the way out. We had nothing but silence. Then, when we found a spot with some clear space in the skies and lights were active, they placed the campfire between us and where the lights were active, making it more difficult. Finally, our guide snd especially driver walked around with bright white headlights shining in our eyes, seemingly oblivious the effect of that. A bit more attention to detail would go a long way.

5.00This was a great tour and the guide was fantastic. The minibus was super comfortable and the entire experience was amazing. We moved to another location to get another sight of the Aurora. I walked away with more knowledge of the Aurora and warm food in my belly and toasted marshmallows!
Spectacular tour, highlight of my trip!!!

5.00This tour turned out to be the absolute highlight of my trip. At first, I had some reservations — the group was full with 17 people, the van was a bit tight, with small seats and hardly any legroom. I was also worried because I’d heard that if the northern lights were elusive, we might have to drive all the way to Finland, which sounded like a long and uncomfortable trek. Luckily, our guide Cat discovered an incredible light display just 45 minutes outside Tromsø. After soaking it all in, we warmed up with hot chocolate and enjoyed Bidos, a traditional Sami reindeer stew that was absolutely delicious. I can’t recommend this tour enough, and do yourself a favor: ask for Cat — she was simply amazing.
