Thermal suits, web-resolution photos and drop-off at set locations are included; bring your own boots, and meet at the departure point as hotel pickup is excluded. 4.8 from 2471 reviews at €203 per person for 5h–8h. In our comparison: #38 of 52 in Northern Lights Tours, by rating weighted by review volume (table below). ## Overview Come with us for your Aurora hunt for an amazing and ethical experience underneath the Aurora Borealis. Leave the light pollution in Tromsø behind and travel into the Arctic wilderness. During this tour, our small team of Aurora guides check the forecasts & use local knowledge to decide on the best place to chase the Northern Lights. When we find the best spot, we will dress in warm thermal suits, make a cosy campfire, and enjoy a warm meal. You'll be shown how to use your camera, photograph the Aurora, and our guides will take photos of you, available for free in web-sized resolution after the tour. Enjoy our hot drinks before being returned to Tromsø island to your hotel. Though there is never a guarantee of seeing this phenomenon, our experienced team will do their best every night of the season. ## Before you book - Meeting point: Meet outside the Scandic Ishavhotel 10… - 4 start times: between 17:30 and 20:00 - Food included: Warm meal **Pickup:** No hotel pickup: everyone meets at the start point ## Key facts - Price: from €203 per person - Duration: 5h–8h - Rating: 4.8/5 from 2471 reviews (collected from Guidekin & Viator & Tripadvisor) - Free cancellation (see policy below) - Likely to sell out - Operator: Wandering Owl - Group: Shared tour - Guide languages: English - Start times: 17:30, 18:00, 19:00, 20:00 - Booking: Instant confirmation, mobile ticket - Price checked on Viator: 2026-11-08 ## Reviews 4.8 from 2471 ratings on Guidekin, Viator & Tripadvisor. 95% of ratings with a star breakdown are 4 or 5 stars: 2354 of 2471. - 5 stars: 2224 (90%) - 4 stars: 130 (5%) - 3 stars: 43 (2%) - 2 stars: 29 (1%) - 1 star: 45 (2%) ## What's included - Multiple hotel drop-off locations on Tromsø - Pick up in front of the Scandic Ishavhotel, Fredrik Langes gate 2, 9008 Troms - All taxes, fees and handling charges - Souvenir photos (websize resolution sent by email after the tour and highest resolution available for purchase) - The activity will be in English - Thermal suits.
