This may be the beginning of a dream come true. Look no further, or read on if you are unsure!

As some of the most experienced guides, the guides analyze weather predictions prior to every tour and have close contact with a network of guides for the highest chances to see the Northern Lights. The comfortable vehicle with 4x4 drive is fully equipped with everything you may need in the arctic, allowing you to discover remote scenery, reaching the more calm and peaceful places. Pick up is at a central location in Tromsø, allowing more time for finding, and seeing the Aurora earlier! With no two nights the same, the enthusiasm and dedication never fades.

Upon reaching suitable skies, we will set up camp for the evening. Most of the time this is a shorter drive to the surrounding coastal islands of Tromsø, or if needed a longer drive into Finland.

Incredible Northern Lights experience! Samuel was an outstanding guide: he is knowledgeable, patient, and very experienced. He worked hard all night to find clear skies, explained everything clearly, and made sure everyone was comfortable and able to enjoy the aurora in warmth. We were lucky enough to see amazing lights, and Samuel made the whole experience feel relaxed and special. Highly recommend!
Highly recommended

We had an unforgettable adventure with Northern Soul Adventures chasing (and finding :) the aurora. Our tour guide was Bogdan and we really couldn’t get a better guide! Not only was he very knowledgeable about northern lights and the region but also very kind and professional. Considering that the weather in Norway was a disaster, Bogdan took us straight to Finland and we managed to see a beautiful spectacle of northern lights. We had a very nice campfire with some soup and hot chocolate, while enjoying the aurora constantly changing shapes and colours. Not to mention all pictures that Bogdan took are absolutely dreamy and a perfect souvenir. We have a comparison to other tour operators and if we ever come back we would definitely chose Northern Soul Adventures again.
Best experience ever !

This was one of the best experiences we have ever had! Our guide Fede was fire ! He was extremely knowledgeable, patient, kind and beyond professional. We weee paired with an equally easy going French family of 6. We were a total of 9 people including our guide. We were so lucky to see a corona, the best kind of auroras. Fede took frame worthy photos, we had yummy hot chocolate, soup, coffee and snacks, thermal suits, heating pads. We would love to took the trip again, specially with Fede !
Bucket list item ticked!

We had a fantastic experience with our guide JJ. He took us to a great location, the timing was perfect and we arrived right before the lights exploded. No other tour groups were with us so we had the spot all to ourselves. This small tour was fantastic, and felt very special with the campfire and food. Highly recommend!
Amazing last night Aurora with great guide!

We had an amazing night in Skogsfjord, lead by Bogdan! It was our last night in Tromso and we were waved good bye by an amazing Aurora! Bogdan made it feel safe and we had to believe in him since we started with a sky almost completely covered! He gave great photo tips and took amazing photos of all in the party, whilst driving, making the fire, serving soup and hot drinks, imparting a lot of info about the northern lights and being super-positive and fun! All in all I am very happy we chose Northern Soul Adventures - would go with them again!
A lifetime of memories friend.. so awesome!

This was a fantastic experience! Our guide, Fede, was wonderful - he was kind, extremely knowledgeable and interesting, and deeply passionate about the lights and ensuring we had a great time. We got very lucky the night we went and the lights were unreal. Fede made sure we got lots of pictures with his nice camera. He built a fire and provided us with yummy soup, cookies, hot chocolate, coffee, tea, hand warmers, and feet warmers. I really recommend this tour, and try and book with Fede!
Wonderful experience

We had the most amazing viewing of the lights and both Tomas and Mathias were wonderful hosts. We learnt a great deal about the science behind them and were kept nice and warm by the fire, with lovely soup and drinks too. We would highly recommend this experience to others!
