Northern Lights Hunt by Bus, Tromsø

This tour takes you on a packed bus more than an hour outside of town for dark skies. The staff are pretty quiet. Only went to one location. No guidance on where to look, what you're looking for, or how to take photos...that would help. A bit more narrative of a history of the area would help. Others on the trip stand in front of your pictures, use their flashlights, without regard to others.

we got lucky - unbelievable evening - well guided - highlight of the trip for sure!

The northern lights were very cool, I would have preferred doing another activity like this one versus the husky visit.

No northern lights….no-one to blame other than the clouds!

I almost stayed home because the weather forecast was snowy and very cloudy all night. But we went and we did see the northern lights! It was worth the time spent on the bus. Do it!

While our guide was tenacious in trying to find the lights, nature did not cooperate. Still, it was a nice experience and we did get a photo with a glimmer of the lights.

This was a trip by minibus with a group of 15 people originating in Tromso. The guide is familiar with the local microclimate and can find a spot where the Northern Lights are likely to be seen, even if it is cloudy in Tromso. We were lucky, needing to travel only about 45 minutes outside of Tromso. The guide set up a campfire and had warm drinks for us. He had an undergraduate degree in physics and was a graduate student at the Arctic University of Norway in Tromso, studying clean energy and its integration into the grid. Not only was he able to explain the science behind the northern lights, he also provided insight into the vibrant scientific and cultural landscape of Northern Norway. Hearing fellow travelers' stories about the campfire was also interesting. We were richly rewarded for our patience with a spectacular show of the lights.

Couldn't ask for more! Excellent team with knowledge and communication skills. The team made sure we get as much as possible from the tour. Loved Meda and Julia! Highly recommend if you are in Tromso for Northern Lights!
