## Overview

The Ultimate Aurora Experience – Comfort, Adventure, and Free Photos

Join the Northern Lights Big Bus Tour – Tromso’s best-value aurora experience, trusted by over 60,000 guests since 2012. With Arctic Explorers, you’re guided by real aurora experts and passionate photographers.

Our spacious, heated big bus offers onboard WiFi and toilets, ensuring a warm and comfortable ride even on the longest chases. 

We assign 1–2 experienced guides with cameras, capturing amazing photos of you under the auroras – completely free.

Tours last 7–9 hours, and we often drive deep into the wilderness, even into Finland or Sweden, to find clear skies. 

We never give up early – this is a real chase. Avoid booking early morning tours the next day, as we may return as late as 02:30 AM.

✔️ Ideal for families, friends, and first-time aurora hunters
✔️ Includes free portraits – no hidden fees
✔️ Big bus = lower price per guest
✔️ Arctic passion and personal service from Tromso’s aurora pioneers
