Thermal suits, heated insoles, local food and professional photos are included; hotel drop-off is limited to Tromsø Island. 4.88 from 157 reviews at €229 per person for 6h–9h. In our comparison: #24 of 52 in Northern Lights Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview 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. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Street address: Kirkegata 2 Outside… - Starts 17:30, 18:30: 2 departures a day - Food included: Locally made food - Age rule: Children must be 8 years old and over 120cm.… **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €229 per person - Duration: 6h–9h - Rating: 4.88/5 from 157 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Operator: Northern Soul Adventures - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 17:30, 18:30 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-11-08 ## Reviews 4.88 from 157 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 96% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 151 of 157. - 5 stars: 149 (95%) - 4 stars: 2 (1%) - 3 stars: 2 (1%) - 2 stars: 3 (2%) - 1 star: 1 (1%) ## What's included - Pick-up in Tromsø City Center - Drop off at Hotel/Accommodation in Tromsø Island (ONLY) - Thermal suits, hand warmers and heated insoles - Free professional photos from tour in web resolution - Locally made food - Cookies & hot beverages (tea + coffee + hot chocolate) - Campfire - Tripods (not suitable for mobile phones) & headlamps ## Not included - Child safety car seats (required for children under 120 cm) - Child seat booster (minimum height 120 cm) - can be provided, please enquiry ## Itinerary 1. **Tromso Fjords** (6h) - Our custom built tour van, is fully equipped with everything we may need in the arctic, allowing us to discover remote scenery, reaching the more calm and peaceful places.
