お勧めします バスのトイレは、床に下痢?が混ざったような水が1センチほど溜まっていて、使えなかった。それ以外は本当に全て良かったです。

Mágica Noche de Auroras Boreales en Tromso Noruega Maravilloso tour con un guía experto en cazar aurora boreales y explicar el fenómeno. Un conductor de Estonia muy amable y atento. Las fotos que nos tomó el guía y las indicaciones para tomarlas fueron claras y geniales para hacer nuestro sueño realidad al primer intento. Nos gustó la fogata el la playa, cocinar nuestras salchichas y las bebidas calientes. Gracias y felices desde Tromso Patty, Belén y Ale

Lucas was fantastic! Our northern lights tour was a wonderful experience from start to finish, and very well organized. Lucas was an excellent guide, with great communication and a sense of humor that kept everyone's spirits up all night. The campfire was a highlight, and the veggie hot dogs and hot chocolate were a welcome treat while we waited for the lights. The photos taken on board turned out beautifully, and they're a great keepsake of the night. One small suggestion is to collect guests' emails at the start of the tour instead of the end, when everyone is tired and sleepy. The van ran out of battery, which was unexpected, but the team arranged a bus right away. The delay was short, and we got back without any real trouble. That quick, calm handling of a problem says a lot about the company. Overall I'd happily recommend this tour and would book again.

Once-in-a-lifetime experience You kept chasing until you encountered a wonderful aurora! I met them perfectly! The staff members encouraged me so I wouldn't succumb to the cold.

Is the hiring worth it The driver, Bela, and the guide Isaac were great and spared no effort to please the group. The guide knows a lot about the Aurora Borealis and was relentless in his hunt. Furthermore, he took many photos with the greatest willingness. Hot dog and very tasty drinks. I highly recommend

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you guarantee seeing the Northern Lights?

No one can guarantee the aurora — it is a natural phenomenon. We check the weather and aurora forecasts every day and our guides drive where the chances are best that night.

Which Northern Lights tour should I choose?

Choose the Northern Lights Bus Tour for the best price, the Small Group Tour for a more personal minibus chase, or a Private Northern Lights Tour for couples, families and photographers.

When is the best time to visit Tromsø?

Tromsø is worth visiting all year. The Northern Lights season usually runs from September to March, while summer brings the Midnight Sun, hiking and fjord adventures.

What should I wear on Arctic tours?

Dress in warm layers: a winter jacket, hat, gloves and insulated boots. We send detailed clothing advice after booking, and our Tromsø packing list covers the rest.

Where is the meeting point?

Most tours depart from Quality Hotel Grand Tromsø in the city centre. Exact meeting instructions are included in your booking confirmation.

What is your cancellation policy?

You can cancel free of charge up to 24 hours before departure. Cancellations later than that and no-shows are non-refundable. If you have questions about your booking, please contact us.

How much walking is involved?

Very little on most tours — bus and fjord tours include short stops close to the vehicle, suitable for most ages. Activity tours such as the snowshoe hike require more walking; the details are on each tour page.

Are you a local Tromsø company?

Yes. Hello Tromsø is a locally operated company based in Tromsø, sharing Arctic Norway with travellers from around the world.
