Brynjar did everything he could to see if we could catch a glimpse of the lights and we did. This was the highlight but even if we didn’t get to see them I was just grateful that we had him as our guide. Besides being an excellent guide and driver, he also managed to light a bonfire, serve hot drinks and cookies and also took the most amazing photos which as promised shared with…”

Nighttime reindeer sledding, a Sami camp dinner of bidos, and a real shot at the Northern Lights from Tromsø.

“Brilliant experience. Our favourite bits were feeding the reindeer with the snow falling and the talk by the Sami people. Lovely to learn more about them and the culture. the meal was salmon salad, reindeer or tomato and veg stew and choc cake to finish. Unlimited hot drinks, water and cookies. Unfortunately the snow meant cloud and no Northwen Lights, but still worth it.”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 1,631 reviews · 5 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $151

Chase the aurora from Tromsø on a big bus. Free professional photos, hot drinks, and expert guides. Expect a late, long drive.

“We went on 2 separate trips to see the Aurora, this was our second favorite but still really good. What fell just short is we do wish we had the thermal suits and better drinks/snacks. But that is somewhat splitting hairs. We didn't need it, but due to a smaller group size they changed from a large bus to a minibus and so we didn't have a bathroom on board. The team did a good job of communicating and finding a good spot, and we got great views of the aurora.”

“We had a beautiful night last night. 12 of us including the crew left in a gorgeous mercedes minibus hunting the auroras at 7 pm. We drove along beautifully fjords for lovely pictures and then stopped at another roadside beach where we camped. A small campfire, hot juice, cookies and then a warm dinner while we waited and saw the auroras dancing overhead... Nothing I say or share can express how majestic it was - and a could almost say it was Shiv's tandav but in a beautiful happy mood. We finally left from there around 12 and reached back to the hotel by 2. Special thanks to the crew…”
