Full description
Begin your Northern Lights adventure by meeting your experienced guide at our designated pickup location in front of Aurora Kafe, Grønnegata 100, conveniently situated between Tromsø City Library and Aurora Fokus Cinema.
A modern, air-conditioned bus equipped with an onboard toilet will be ready for your comfort. Upon arrival, your guide will check you in, and once the group is assembled, a brief introduction will set the stage for the journey ahead.
Throughout the tour, your guide and driver will ensure a safe, informative, and enjoyable experience. During the ride, your guide will share their extensive knowledge about the Northern Lights, Tromsø, and other fascinating topics.
The route of the bus will be determined by the weather forecast for the night, as clear skies or breaks in the clouds are essential for optimal viewing of the Northern Lights. Depending on where the conditions are most favorable, the tour may include stops nearby along the coast or farther out, sometimes even near the Finnish border.
To increase your chances of witnessing the Aurora, your guide will continuously monitor a variety of tools to track weather changes and solar activity throughout the journey.
Once a suitable location is reached, your guide will assist you in setting up your camera or phone to capture the Northern Lights as best as possible. With temperatures in the Norwegian Arctic ranging from 5 to -30 degrees Celsius, you can always return to the warmth of the bus when needed.
As the Northern Lights appear, enjoy the mesmerizing display and take stunning photos of this natural wonder. Your guide will also be available to take professional portraits with the Northern Lights in the background, creating a keepsake of your experience.
The tour will conclude between 23:30 and 0:30, returning to the same pickup location at Aurora Kafe.
Know before you go
- We highly recommend dressing warmly for the Arctic conditions. Please wear warm clothes, winter shoes, wool socks, gloves, and a thick hat. Temperatures outside the bus can range from 5°C to as low as -30°C.
- For the best photo results, consider bringing a tripod for your camera or phone to capture the Northern Lights.
- The tour will run in all weather conditions. However, if road or weather conditions pose a safety risk, the tour may be subject to cancellation.
- A forecast indicating high cloud coverage does not automatically lead to tour cancellation. The weather in the Norwegian Arctic is highly unpredictable and can change rapidly, with conditions varying significantly by location.
- Please note, the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and while we do our best to increase your chances of seeing them, sightings cannot be guaranteed. Unfortunately, not seeing the Aurora is not a valid reason for a refund.
