★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 6,654 reviews · 6 - 7 hours · from $61Our pick

Review of Tromsø’s Northern Lights Safari, with expert guides, Aurora photos, warm drinks, bus transport, costs, tips, and honest advice.

“We booked this tour because we didn’t want to rent a car and search for the Northern Lights ourselves, and it was a great decision. I highly recommend it! Our guides, Andrea and Laura, took us to a remote spot outside Tromsø. While we waited, they made a small campfire and shared fascinating stories about the myths and the science behind the lights. Keep in mind that the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon, so sightings can’t be guaranteed. We saw them faintly that night, but the experience was still amazing and completely worth it. They also provide professional photos and help you set up your own camera, which was…”

Rovaniemi: Aurora Borealis Snowmobile Safari with Campfire

2.Aurora Borealis Snowmobile Safari with Campfire

★★★★★★★★★★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!”

“It could have not been more perfect! I was hesitant to book at first because our Airbnb is at an inconvenient location, but when I booked the tour I asked if they could pick us up at our place they were able to do so. David was our wonderful guide! And he could not have been nicer and more accommodating to us and our group. On the way to pickup some more of our group, David stopped on the side of the road so we could see the lights. It was amazing and so unexpected! It was also fortunate because during our snowmobile trip we actually couldn’t see any lights…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.0 · 92 reviews · 5 to 8 hours (approx.) · from $128

Review of Tromsø’s Aurora Safari by big bus: base camps, campfire, snacks, photos, onboard toilet, pricing, guides, and practical tips.

“Good value for money as it's much cheaper than private tours and you will see the lights either way unless it's completely overcast. Apparently there are different basecamps that can be used depending on the forecast which is another bonus. Our guide was friendly enough but didn't mention that we could have had our photo taken for later download so not many knew about this. A group photo would have been fun. Thermal suits and tripods are also available if needed but take warm clothes and a decent camera. Overall a good night--clothes smelt of campfire smoke days later!”

“We had a nice trip, a little waiting around in the beginning however once we were off we sped through the countryside enjoying the beautiful scenery, nice young tour guides not a lot of interaction from them however that suited us , sadly we didn’t see the lights which couldn’t be helped, very bumpy mobile on the way out changed on the way back and had a smoother ride, children given plenty of fur and were happy. Got back around midnight but the office were happy to call us a taxi and let us wait in the warm.”

“We went to a great spot to see the lights and had a fun time riding the snowmobile. We were actually out for closer to 6 hours in total and were kindly dropped back to our accommodation after. Would have appreciated some more explanations of what to expect from the guide. We never found out his name and weren't informed we would be in the van for 45-60 minutes or so before we got to the spot we would ride the snowmobiles. Luckily we took our own gloves and layers to put on dor the ride and after or we would have been very cold. The stop off in the…”

So kind, and so generous! They make sure you are okay before anything,…”
