Northern Lights · NORTHERN LIGHTS BUS TOURS
A coach is the cheapest seat under the lights and, on the good operators, the most mobile: the whole fleet radios ahead and moves to the gap. These 15 are priced and honest about group size.

“This was one of the better lights tours. The guides Darren and Yoseph were really informative and as levy talk about Iceland and the lights We were lucky as we gig a fab display as well”

“We had a wonderful Northern Lights tour with Aram. He was incredibly nice and cheerful, making the whole experience fun and relaxed. To give us the best possible chance of seeing strong aurora activity, he took us to two different locations”
Review of Reykjavik’s Northern Lights Bus Tour, with Thingvellir, hot chocolate, guide quality, group size, value, and rebooking advice.
“The trip was well organised and the tour guide and driver did their very best to find the Northern Lights on a night with intermittent cloud but solar activity was low so the lights did not put in an appearance which was apparently the case nearly all week. We were lucky to catch a glimpse on the way back from another tour. But the trip was well organised and they tried their best and we learned a lot about the Northen Lights and the KP index. The trip would have been very good had the Northern Lights put in an appearance.”

“I decided to book this group because I’m traveling with a young-ish child who I knew might struggle with staying awake long enough and liked having the bus as a sort of home base. I was a little concerned that being part of a big group might somehow take away from the evening, but Marius, Soraia, and Bjørn were fantastic guides and I’m thrilled with how our evening turned out. Right from the beginning, their excitement was infectious. We ended up getting incredibly lucky with the sun and sky, and the lights greeted us shortly after we left cloudy Tromsø. They took a break for the group to get out,…”
Review of Tromsø’s Northern Lights minibus tour with campfire, thermal gear, free photos, hot drinks, and trips toward Finland.
“Northern Lights were amazing — and they were absolutely right! Our tour guide, Christian, went above and beyond and was even willing to drive all the way to Finland to make sure we saw the Northern Lights. The company made a huge effort to find clear skies, and it really paid off — we saw them and it was incredible. We also toasted marshmallows and had hot dogs, which made the whole experience even more special and cosy. The staff were lovely, friendly, and genuinely passionate about giving us the best possible experience. Highly recommend!”

“Definitely recommend this experience and if you have Owen as your tour guide and/or Jesus as your tour guide, it’s definitely worth the money. Honestly this was an amazing experience. Our tour guide Owen and driver Jesus were amazing. We didn’t have high hopes because the day was very cloudy and we couldn’t even see the sun but Owen stayed very optimistic and took us all the way to Finland to ensure we had the best opportunity to see them. The bus was very clean and nice. Owen was very knowledgeable about the lights and Norwegian culture and told us so much about them. He also took amazing pictures of…”

Review of Reykjavik’s Northern Lights bus tour: price, pickup, guides, weather policy, crowds, comfort, and tips for seeing the aurora.
“Nice tour guide and good driver. However, it was cancelled once and nothing happened on second try. They don't go driving until they find it with us warm. We go one spot and stand outside cold. Why would I come all the way back to Iceland to try this again? Way overcrowded too. Huge regret and sticking to Finland”

“Really great experience, the guide and driver were so knowledgeable and went out of their way to help our whole group get an amazing experience. We didn’t have a lot of hope of seeing anything since it was rainy and overcast, but we drove and drove till we got clear skies…then it’s up to God to start his show…we saw faint lights with our eyes but from the cameras we saw reds and greens and a rainbow of color. It was pretty spectacular. Our guide had a great camera and took photos of our whole group with the lights in the background. We were out till about 330am, started at…”

“It was excellent. Our driver/ guide did all he could to make sure we saw the lights and we did. We had to drive over the border into Finland to experience our first sighting.

“Very knowledgeable guides Hans Eric and Leila made for an entertaining and informative journey. Mini-bus left around 6:30/7p and first sighting at 8:30p. What a great experience as the lights danced in the background for over an hour u tol everyone had enough! Powerful greens and purples. The team was deliberate in managing expectations as seeing the northern lights is not a given and highly unpredictable. Highly recommend this team!! An unforgettable experience and a dream come true!!”
Review of Tromsø’s Big Bus Northern Lights Tour, with Finland chase options, professional photos, hot drinks, campfire, and practical tips.
“It was an awesome trip! The bus journey was smooth and comfortable. The guides/photographers were truly professionals - the pictures turned out so well! Even though there were so many in the big bus, there was ample opportunity for everyone to take multiple pictures. The campfire was also a lovely touch to give some respite from the cold (and of course you can always go back into the bus for some warmth) - plus hot drinks and toasting marshmallows over the fire... Overall, a great experience!”
