Join our mission to show you the magical northern lights. We will be taking you to some prime locations with the highest chances of witnessing this natural phenomenon.

General information

This tour is conducted by Norwegian Travel.

Departing from the city center of Tromsø, our guides, well-prepared where to drive for the evening, will welcome you aboard the bus and share their research by explaining the science and legends of the mystical northern lights.

Tromsø is a prime location to chase the northern lights, being surrounded by plenty of different geographically defined climate zones reachable within one evening: Sometimes our guides will choose to drive towards the coastal islands, sometimes they will aim for the clear skies showing towards the mainland (Finland).

When we are lucky to witness the northern lights dancing in the sky, we will step outside the bus on a safe location, away from city light pollution. To keep you warm, our guides will offer a warm drink while we wait outside, enjoying the spectacle.

Our photography guide will help you capture this magical moment, either by taking your portrait with the aurora, or by helping you setting up your own camera. We will stay in one location or move around from one to the other, depending on the weather conditions and how long and in what strength we get to witness the aurora spectacle.

At the end of the night, we will return to the city center of Tromsø, hopefully with beautiful memories of the dancing northern lights and plenty of photos to show for it.

About Destination Tromsø and Quest

In the center of the Aurora heartland – Tromso Norway


Tromsø Norway, the Arctic city that has positioned itself to be the preferred destination for the Northern Lights travelers, but the city has so much more to offer!



Where else in Europe can you combine a whale watching safari with an exciting evening snowmobiling tour? Or enjoy the Northern lights crossing narrow fjords while you are pulled by huskies through the Arctic wilderness?



Tromsø is an international city, unique with hosting every reason-to-go above the Arctic circle combined with great international flight connections, expedition museums and a decent choice of high-quality restaurants. It offers all the modern facilities, but the Arctic wilderness is right outside your doorstep.



Join us on a whale watching adventure by boat offering a unique chance to witness these marine mammals in their natural habitat, but also breathtaking views while navigating into their territory.



Experience the Northern Lights and head out on a thrilling evening chase by bus. Or combine both of these highlights in one unique all-inclusive 24 hour-activity aboard our expedition ship MV Quest.



Make sure you are outside with us when the magic happens.
