Hunt for the magical Northern Lights on this small-group Aurora Chase.

Trusted by 55 000+ guests last season. Chase the Aurora together with guides trained through Northern Lights Safari’s own Aurora training program. We will find the Northern Lights together with you.

This small group tour lasts for 5-6 hours. During months with evening darkness, we are hunting clear skies within the area around Tromsø. The excursion starts at 7 p.m./19:00 and the drive can take us in all directions when heading out and away from the city lights. On some days we don´t have to go very far and can enjoy more time outdoors, while on other days we have to work a bit more and do a proper "hunt" to get what we are looking for. We do see some light on most days that we are out, but there are of course no guarantees - this is a natural phenomenon. During the evening, we make several stops to look - sometimes the lights are directly over us. Usually, if the weather and lights permit it we do a longer stop with a bonfire, a pre-prepared meal (a portion of soup/stew), and a hot drink. This is a proper small group tour with a maximum of 6 guests pr. tour this season. The night is yours! And if you want an even more intimate tour have a look at the private option.
