2.Reindeer Sled, Dinner, and Chance of Northern Lights

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 2,651 reviews · 4h 30m · from $219

Feed reindeer, ride a nighttime sled, share Sami food and stories, and look for the northern lights near Tromsø.

“This was a great introduction to Sami culture, and the reindeer were a lot of fun to feed and be around. Plenty of time to be very close to the reindeer, and the guides were very approachable and knowledgeable. We also loved the vegetarian food option. If it wasn't for the cloud cover we would have probably seen the northern lights as well.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 1,782 reviews · 4 hours (approx.) · from $76

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.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 1,722 reviews · 7 hours · from $241

Review of Tromsø’s expert northern lights hunt, with thermal gear, campfire food, photography, small groups, and Finland trips.

“The pick‑up point was easy to find, and our guide Harry welcomed us onto the minibus. He was friendly, informative, incredibly skilled at astrophotography, and very passionate about the northern lights. We had a small group and a great driver, Peter. After a 50‑minute drive we reached a fjord beach with clear skies, and the aurora appeared almost immediately. We were given snow suits, and Harry took photos throughout the night. We were out for around 7–8 hours and happened to be there during the biggest solar storm in 20 years—an unforgettable sight that no tour can guarantee, only chase. When fog crept up the fjord before the storm peaked,…”

Unfortunately, I couldn't see the aurora, but I really enjoyed having a barbecue in the magnificent nature reminiscent of the movie Frozen. Luckily, I was able to see a clear shooting star. Thanks to the guides and participants!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.8 · 1,318 reviews · 8 hours · from $167

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!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 1,108 reviews · 4 hours · from $163

Review of Rovaniemi’s four-hour Northern Lights snowmobile safari, with campfire snacks, Arctic scenery, practical tips, and honest drawbacks.

“Nice tour, nice guides and wonderful landscape. We could see the Northern Lights and the guides helped us taking pictures and changing settings of our phones so we could take pictures too. We drove snowmobiles for more than 2 hours, which was a bit too much for us, because we had never done that before and cold and inexperience didn't help us. But the overall was a really cool safari. Highly reccommended!”

Tromsø northern lights tour review covering the aurora chase, campfire meal, photos, weather policy, transport, price, and practical tips.

“With the unseasonably warm weather I had little expectation of seeing the lights. However I was taken aback, we saw the lights almost all night and incredibly vividly. It was so beautiful it took your breath away. Our guide was amazing and was almost as excited as we were to see the spectacular light show”

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 806 reviews · 4h 30m · from $163

Feed reindeer, enjoy Sami food and stories, and look for the Northern Lights on this warm, memorable evening from Tromsø.

“Great evening, very well organized. The Sami guides Ulle and Inga were very nice and enthusiastic about showing us their culture, it was very informative. The reindeers were very cute, the food (salmon salad, reindeer stew and chocolate cake) very delicious, the fire very warm which we needed because outside it was freezing cold! But we got lucky and got the most beautiful Nothtern Lights during the whole evening, so of course that made it exceptionally special, but I guess without that it could’ve been still a lovely experience!”
