Prepare to be amazed while exploring the Norwegian wilderness in search of the enchanting Northern Lights departing from Tromsø!

Embark upon an Arctic adventure of a lifetime in Norway on this 5-hour, guided Northern Lights tour from Tromsø! Welcoming participants ages 12 and up.

Located in northern Norway, the legendary city of Tromsø is often referred to as the 'Gateway to the Arctic' and is situated on the island of Tromsøya. Tromsø is known as a rich cultural hub surrounded by pristine wilderness. Due to its latitude above the Arctic Circle, it is also one of the world's best places to observe the breathtaking colours of the Aurora Borealis, especially outside of the city limits. When visiting northern Norway, a guided Arctic Northern Lights tour from Tromsø is a remarkable experience not to be missed!

The adventure begins after meeting your guide at the departure point in Tromsø. After a safety and itinerary briefing, the captivating evening starts! In the comfortable vehicle, you'll be driven far away from the city lights (up to 210 km/130 miles each way) on the hunt for the Northern Lights, travelling as far as Finland. Since your guide has carefully consulted the night's Aurora forecasts, they will take you to the optimal areas for Northern Lights viewing.

Making several stops, the guide will take photos of the group with the magnificent backdrop of the Northern Lights in addition to sharing fascinating facts about this awe-inspiring natural phenomenon. If weather conditions allow, you'll be treated to light snacks as well as hot and cold beverages around a roaring bonfire, the perfect way to warm up on cold winter nights in Norway and savour the serenity of nature as you gaze up at the sky! Having witnessed the vibrant colours of the Aurora Borealis in the wilderness of Norway, you'll be dropped off at your accommodations (as long as it is located within a 5 km/3 mile radius of the original meeting point in the city) with cherished memories of the Arctic Northern Lights tour from Tromsø!
