Join a private northern lights tour from Tromsø for up to six guests, with a flexible route, campfire, warm drinks and a local guide.
General information
This tour is operated by Vikran Touring.
Join a private northern lights chase from Tromsø and spend an evening in the Arctic winter landscape with your own guide. With a maximum of six guests, the experience is flexible and personal, with the route adapted to the weather and cloud conditions each evening.
Leaving the city lights behind, you will travel to locations with less light pollution. Once a suitable spot is found, settle in around the campfire, enjoy warm drinks and grilled sausages, and wait for the possibility of the northern lights appearing – and perhaps dancing across the sky.
Your guide will share stories and information about the northern lights and the surrounding area and can also help you with photography. If the northern lights are visible, your guide can take photos of the experience.
Thermal suits are available on request and must be arranged in advance.
As this is a private tour, alternative pick-up locations in the Tromsø area can be arranged on request.

About Vikran Touring
Vikran Touring is a locally based tour operator in the Tromsø region, offering small-scale, exclusive and authentic Arctic experiences.
The company offers private tours and small-group experiences focusing on the Northern Lights, snowshoeing and nature-based adventures. The tours take place in peaceful surroundings away from the city lights and crowded areas.
The aim is to offer guests more than just an activity – a genuine experience of Northern Norway. The silence of the winter landscape. The darkness surrounding the fjords. The moment when the Northern Lights move across the sky. The sense of achievement after a mountain hike in Arctic terrain.
Quality over quantity is central to every tour. Small groups and private experiences allow for personal attention, flexibility and safety. Each tour is adapted to the weather conditions, the season and the guests’ preferences, allowing the experience to take priority over the clock.
Tours take place in the natural areas surrounding Tromsø – places the team grew up in and knows well. This local connection provides a solid foundation for planning and operating Northern Lights tours, snowshoe hikes and quiet evenings around a campfire.
Guests of Vikran Touring should feel seen, cared for and safe. Local knowledge, outdoor experience and flexibility are combined to create personal and authentic experiences.
For Vikran Touring, it is not about transporting as many people as possible, but about creating lasting memories.
