General information
This guided coach tour combines expert Aurora Hunter guides, real-time aurora tracking, and modern coach transfers to maximise your chances of witnessing the Aurora Borealis.
Your evening begins at a central meeting point in Tromsø, where you meet your guide and set out in search of clear skies. The route is flexible, allowing travel up to around two hours from Tromsø as conditions change, moving through fjords, islands, and valleys to find the best possible viewing locations.
Throughout the journey, hot drinks and light snacks (muffins and hot blueberry juice) are provided to keep you comfortable in Arctic conditions. When the Northern Lights appear, professional photos of you under the aurora are included.
Along the way, your guide shares insights into the science of the aurora, Arctic nature, local stories, and photography techniques. The tour typically lasts between 4 and 6 hours, offering a well-paced and memorable Arctic experience suitable for couples, families, and groups.

About Arctic GM Experiences
Arctic GM Experiences is a professional tour operator specialising in Northern Lights experiences and authentic Arctic adventures in Tromsø and Northern Norway.
Arctic GM Experiences builds on a family heritage in the Arctic dating back to the 1600s, with roots in Finnish Lapland and Northern Norway, including long-standing ties to the Tromsø region.
The company offers small-group, private, and larger group experiences, allowing guests to choose between more personal formats and cost-efficient alternatives. All tours are led by in-house, full-time professional guides — Aurora Hunters — with extensive local expertise. Arctic GM follows a philosophy of quality over quantity, focusing on safe, well-organised experiences in authentic Arctic environments, often away from the most crowded areas.
Northern Lights tours are operated using real-time weather and solar activity analysis, allowing guides to continuously adapt locations and routes to improve viewing conditions. When required, operations may extend across nearby regions and, if conditions demand, across national borders — including into Sweden and Finland — in search of clearer skies. Professional photography is included as part of selected experiences.
Arctic GM is committed to responsible tourism and ongoing sustainability efforts. The company works with carefully managed group sizes, follows responsible travel practices, and aims to minimise environmental impact while respecting local nature and communities.
