Tromso Northern Lights Minibus Chase Small Group Tour with Photos

Cindy_S, Oct 2026

Aurora hunters extraordinaire

I can’t express how much fun I had. Barbora, Dimitar, Alex were very efficient, highly coordinated in tracking the northern lights and provided amazing informative and fun facts and stories to share around the campfire. We got really lucky to experience a strong aurora that night and the team had been fantastic in capturing the moment for us. But most of all they were very professional and a joy to share the adventure with. 10 out to 10. Recommend

These Guided Really are Northern Lights Chasers!!!

This excursion was well worth the money. This tour put a big check on my bucket list!! Expect to stay out the 9 hours (time flies). It’s a couple hours ride to get away from the city lights. Liam (tour guide) and Peter (minibus driver) worked as a team to make our experience over the top. There is a whole. Network of light chasers who help each other find the best spots to stop. The first stop we did was OK and we got some nice shots. Liam and Peter made some warm Current drink for us to keep us warm and cookies. They also provided deer skins for us to sit on the tour also provides warm boots and suits that you can put on that really helped as it was pretty cold that night when we found that the sky was not as clear the longer we stayed there, we drove further and found the most amazing spot on a hill. We had a light show that lasted well over an hour. We saw reds and greens and the lights danced and shot across the sky. I’ve never seen anything like it. The served us some dinner and we had a fire for a short time. Liam took pictures of us with the lights in the background, videos and night sky shots with his professional camera. You just have to go with this company- their attention to detail is unbelievable!! David and Suanne

The hunt for the Northern...

The hunt for the Northern lights was fun. Bring your patience, you are subject to Mother Nature. Our guide Magda was awesome, she was very knowledgeable . We didn’t see the lights on our first stop but she found us another spot that we got to see a spectacular Northern Light show. Our driver was great too. He safely navigated through some very dark roads. Overall it was a great experience, I would book again with wandering owl.

Dedicated tour guides

There was a snow storm in Tromso so we headed north to get out of it. The guides let us know that we might have to go as far as Finland to see them, but their goal was not too keep us out too late. We ended up going to Finland as the snow didn’t stop in Norway! It was worth it; the skies opened up for us and the time was of no consequence.

Sami Culture and Short Reindeer Sledding from Tromso

Diana_C, Feb 2026

Beautiful experience

This was a once in a lifetime experience for my partner and I. The reindeers are free to roam and come to you whenever they want to eat from the bucket of food provided. The scenery is beautiful and the short sledding was memorable. The storytelling was wonderful and we were happy to hear that we are promoting the Sami culture. The reindeer stew was really delicious.

MAGICAL Norwegian journey

This is one of the most magical experiences I have ever had! We lucked out with perfect weather for winter in Norway. Clear skies for the limited daylight we had and it was gorgeous. The boat ride out to the bay was surrounded by snowcapped mountains and the crew provided great information about the journey and the whales. Once to the spot, it was nonstop wildlife. A few people saw a mink whale! But everyone saw plenty of humpbacks and orcas. We spent plenty of time at the location and everyone was having an amazing time. On the ride back, they served delicious soup and we had snacks and beverages the entire time. On the journey back, we even got to see the northern lights, which was just a cherry on top of an already perfect day. My group LOVED this tour and I would do it again. If you are having doubts, throw them away and book this!!!
