Flexibility to Find Clear Skies – Our route adapts based on weather conditions, sometimes taking us inland, along the coast, or even into Finland to maximize the chances of seeing the aurora. Transparency About Challenges – We prioritize finding clear skies over scenic locations due to increased road traffic. Stops may be alongside roads, but our goal is to provide the best possible view of the Northern Lights. Comfort with Realistic Expectations – The bus offers warmth, though it may cool down on particularly cold nights. Guests are encouraged to dress in warm layers for added comfort. Guided by Experts – Knowledgeable guides provide insights and help with photography, ensuring a memorable experience. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Please meet us at Tromsø Havn Prostneset, - Starts 17:20: one departure a day - Strollers OK: infants accepted - Age rule: Specialized infant seats are available **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €117 per person - Duration: 5h–9h - Rating: 4.86/5 from 1709 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Chasing Lights - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 17:20 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-11-08 ## Reviews 4.86 from 1709 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 97% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 1655 of 1709. - 5 stars: 1578 (92%) - 4 stars: 77 (5%) - 3 stars: 24 (1%) - 2 stars: 14 (1%) - 1 star: 16 (1%) ## What's included - Arctic cookies and warm berry juice - Pick-up & drop-off at Tromsø Havn Prostneset, Bus Terminal - Onboard toilet is not guaranteed - A full gallery of professionally taken photos from your tour (no extra charge) - Hot water - 5-9 hours tour - Professional photographer tour guides ## Not included - Clothes, tripods and meals are not included - Hotel pick-up & drop-off ## Itinerary 1. **Get ready for an exciting Northern Lights Chase with our expert guides as we ...** (8h) - Get ready for an exciting Northern Lights Chase with our expert guides as we drive wherever conditions are best that night, to maximize your chances of seeing the aurora. ## Schedule - Runs: daily - Departures: 17:20 - Schedule last checked: 2026-11-08 - These are published departures, not a live seat count; availability is confirmed at checkout. ## Cancellation For a full refund, cancel at least 24 hours before the scheduled departure time. ## Meeting point Please meet us at Tromsø Havn Prostneset, Bus Terminal (exit through the main hall).
