The 15 Best Aurora & Photography Tours in Tromso

23 reviewed

A phone rarely does the northern lights justice; a guide with a real camera does. These are the best photography tours in Tromso, compared: which hand you tripod-steady shots of yourself under the aurora, which teach you to shoot it, group sizes, and what each one costs.

“We had an unforgettable experience on the Northern Lights tour! Mag, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and determined to find the best viewing spots no matter what. He provided warm gear if necessary, warm chocolate and ginger cookies, and useful photography tips to capture the aurora perfectly. He also took amazing photos of us using his professional camera, which was a fantastic bonus. Seeing the lights dance across the sky was absolutely magical—truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tromsø!Read more”

“The guide Barbara was amazing and informative. Natalia’s cookies and hot chocolate was our survival food in freezing cold which kept us warm and off course Mr. Wyne behind wheel was very skilled. Overall the trip was great. The tour duration can be bit longer to have more experience of aurora watching as clouds were coming and going and we had to drive long to reach the point.”

“Geir Inge and Kine are absolutely amazing! Despite the rainy weather, we were still able to catch some northern lights, which made the experience unforgettable. The tour was in a small group that evening, giving us plenty of opportunities to take photos and visit several spots to chase the lights. They also shared insightful information about how to read the different indicators and understand the chances of seeing the aurora, which made the tour not only enjoyable but also very informative. To top it off, we were treated to hot chocolate and local delicacies, including the famous brown cheese. Overall, I’m extremely satisfied with this tour and would highly recommend…”

“Nelson is #1! He knows his stuff. He checked an app on his mobile and told the group the weather was not good in Finland. He sighted a possibility in the west and he drove us to Sommaroya. His prediction was that the northern lights would appear around 3am. But Lady Luck was with us and it appeared in full glory at 9am, dancing for an hour. On top of it, Nelson made us hot chocolate, coffee, gave us biscuits, started a campfire, cooked hotdogs and took pictures for us. At the end of the trip, he sent everyone back to our accommodation without us asking!! Nelson is one of…”

“Having been on another Northern lights tour the night before, this one felt a little more rough and ready and less polished. However, my daughter and I actually liked that. Alan was eager to get to the perfect spot to observe the lights so didn’t take time for toilet breaks or lengthy speeches. It was very cold so when Alan told us we shouldn’t expect any activity for 70 minutes we went back to the minibus but he raced back to us when the lights unexpectedly came out, making sure we didn’t miss a second. He was knowledgeable and a lovely person. We also had a lovely group, loads of…”

“BOOK THIS TOUR! No, seriously. I spent months planning our trip and I’m so glad I stumbled across this tour because it was excellent. The views left a us speechless and our guide (George) knew the best places to go and answered all of our questions. The bus is comfortable and warm. I don’t think I’ll ever book a large tour again because this small tour was so much more meaningful and joyful. You won’t regret booking this one!”
