Discover the infamous polar lights on this Northern Lights hunt by minivan in Tromsø!

Tromsø is a picturesque city in the far north of Norway, known for its stunning natural landscapes and rich cultural heritage. Due to its proximity to the Arctic Circle, witnessing the Northern Lights in Tromsø during the winter months is very common!

The Northern Lights chase in Tromsø begins at the meeting point in the city centre. An experienced guide will welcome you on board a comfortable heated minivan. You'll receive the gear to keep you safe and warm throughout the trip, including winter jackets and pants, reflectors, and a headlamp. Once everyone is prepared, the Northern Lights hunt in Tromsø begins! The expert guide will track the Aurora forecast and take you up to 2 hours away from the city.

Upon arrival at the best viewing spot, you'll stop to admire the magical night sky! If you're lucky, the vibrant dancing colours of the Aurora Borealis will appear above you. You'll capture some photos, take in the incredible natural wonder, and learn more about the myths and legends of the Northern Lights. Afterwards, a delicious warm meal and hot drinks will be prepared for you to enjoy in the winter wonderland. If you are near the instructor's cosy grill cabin, you will eat there. Then, the guide will drive you back to the original starting point in Tromsø city.

This minivan Northern Lights hunt in Tromsø is a must-do experience when visiting the Arctic north!

Great conditions to see the aurora, already just outside the city. Took tons of pictures.

This was a great adventure into the mountains for viewing the northern lights. It was cloudy so we could only see a peek of them through the camera lens, but the full moon was beautiful and our time well spent.

Great activity to chase the spots to try to track down the lights! While we ultimately were not able to see the lights, this was out of our control, and it was very cool to see the scientific process behind tracking down the lights.

Excellent - If there are clouds, you may not see any lights, but those are out of your control. Book a lights experience when the moon is half full or less. A new moon is best but we saw plenty of lights with a half moon!
