Come with us on our Express Aurora Hunt for a guaranteed early return to Tromsø city centre.

General information

This tour is operated by Wandering Owl.

During this activity, our small team of Aurora guides checks the forecasts and uses local knowledge to decide on the best place to search for the Northern Lights. On this tour, we will travel wherever it is safest and offers the best chances of seeing the Northern Lights within one hour of Tromsø city centre.

Once we arrive at the best available location, 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 also offer to take photos of you, which will be available for purchase a few days after the tour.
