Small Group 4x4 Van Journey in Search of the Northern Lights
Overview
Available languages
Mobile ticket
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.

Unforgettable Northern Lights Experience!

5.00We went on the Northern Lights tour with Northern Soul Adventures, and it was absolutely incredible from start to finish. Our guide, Fede, went above and beyond to give us the best chance of seeing the aurora despite the cloudy, rainy weather. He drove an amazing 400 km round-trip to find clear skies in Fossbakken — and his dedication paid off! The moment the clouds parted and the lights began dancing across the sky with beautiful pink tones was pure magic. Fede was warm, knowledgeable, and made the whole journey feel relaxed and personal. The small-group style made such a difference — it genuinely felt like exploring with friends rather than being on a big tour. The photos he took were stunning, and the gallery was so easy to access afterwards. You can really tell how passionate he is about what he does, and it made the whole experience unforgettable. Thank you for an amazing night and memories we’ll treasure forever. Highly recommended — we would book with them again in a heartbeat!

5.00Incredible night !!!!! The only night that I was able to go hunt for northern nights was probably the worst weather of the four days that we were in Tromso… lots of clouds lots of rain… but our guide Federico did an incredible job predicting exactly where there would be a clearing in the clouds, even though we had to drive far to get there. He went above and beyond to make sure that we were comfortable warm and enjoyed the experience. He was super knowledgeable, and it was clear that this was not an amateur tour. And the photos were great too!! worth every penny
An unforgettable experience!

5.00Our trip to Tromso was definitely unforgettable! We arrived hoping to see this wonder of nature, but the weather was not in our favor. We started the tour and our guide Bogdan was clear about the mission! He took us on a trip of more than 3 hours to Finland, checking at specific points... Until you recommended us to wait at one point and trust! After a delicious soup and a hot chocolate with cookies (all included in the tour) there they appeared, started dancing, tremendous show almost unreal before our eyes! It was beautiful! I totally recommend the experience, this agency and above all our friendly guide and photographer. Thanks to him we take the best memories!

5.00We’ve had the most amazing adventure chasing the Northern Lights starting in Tromsø and heading to Iitto, Finland. We drove for hours with very low expectations to see the lights due to the weather conditions but, we ended up watching an espectacular explosion of lights up the sky for several minutes. An unforgettable experience thanks mostly to Bogdan and his skills to located the perfect spot while having everything set, to make of our adventure a comfortable and luxurious one! I highly recommend booking with him….(disclaimer)…there is not promise to see the northern lights but, I promise you will have fun chasing them!!!
Great evening!

5.00Fantastic evening viewing the northern lights! The evening started out with pouring rain in Tromso. While it seemed like it would be impossible to see any lights, sure enough, with some time, persistent guides, and a location to the west, we hit the jackpot. Beautiful lights in a couple of nice locations for photographs. Add on some soup dinner which was very tasty, and we had a wonderful evening. Thanks for our guides for a great night.
Excellent

5.00Lucas picked us up in a comfortable 8-seater van and drove us to Finland because of clouds in Tromsø. He explained everything clearly and drove very safely, even on icy roads. He found a perfect spot, set up camp, and we had a great view of the lights. A very professional and well-run tour—I’d book with them again.

5.00Thanks again for a magical experience for me and my family. The northern lights for sure was the star but your warm and personalized service is just as awesome! Truly a once in a lifetime experience that will stay with us forever. One of my daughters were on crutches and we also had a 4 year old, all handled and kept engaged by Michal. Auroras+Campfire+hot drinks+marshmallows = a perfect night! Maraming Salamat!(Filipino for thank you very much)

5.00We had an amazing trip with Armand. He was a fantastic guide. He found us an amazing location and took phenomenal photos. We were comfortable and well cared for. He was knowledgeable and responsive. He was kind and patient with my mother who just turned 80. The soup and hot chocolate was delicious. The company and conversation was great. I would recommend this for everyone. It was an experience we will remember forever. Thank you Armand!
