Urban experiences meets raw Arctic nature
Tromsø
Ekspress Aurora Hunt
Come with us on our Express Aurora Hunt for a guaranteed early return to Tromsø city centre.
General information
Leave the city lights behind and travel into the Arctic wilderness. During this activity, our small team of Aurora guides checks the forecasts and uses local knowledge to decide on the best place to chase the Northern Lights. On this tour, we will travel wherever looks safest and offers the best chances of seeing the Northern Lights, within 1 hour of Tromsø city centre. Once we arrive at the best location available, we will enjoy a warm drink and a sweet biscuit together while we wait. We'll have you back in the city centre by midnight, so you can be well rested the next morning.
Your guide will give you the option to have your photo taken, which will be available for purchase a few days after the tour.
Included: Transport, a guide, ponchos, the option to purchase photographs, biscuits (vegan biscuits available upon request) and a hot drink.
