Tromsø: Summer Evening Cruise with Activities

Leave the city lights behind and chase the Northern Lights on a small-group road trip from Tromsø. Each evening, we study weather forecasts and aurora activity to choose the best direction — driving into darker, remote Arctic areas where the chances of seeing the aurora borealis are highest. This is a flexible Northern Lights chase, not a fixed route. We go where conditions are best, stopping at scenic locations along fjords, mountains, and open landscapes. When the lights appear, we take the time to enjoy the moment without rushing or large crowds. The tour is conducted in a comfortable minivan with a local guide who shares knowledge about the aurora. Warm drinks and light snacks are included to keep you comfortable during the Arctic night. While the Northern Lights are a natural phenomenon and can never be guaranteed, the experience, planning, and flexibility are focused on giving you the best possible chance of witnessing this unforgettable display.

What are people saying about Tromso

salvoc536, Nov 2026

Aurora

The guide Gabriel and the driver Sondra were exceptional! Even though the weather was constantly getting worse, they didn't give up and kept driving until they found a spot where the clouds finally cleared, leaving room for a sky full of stars, perfect for waiting for the arrival of the northern lights, which fortunately didn't keep us waiting long. To allow us to experience this to the fullest, they even extended the duration of the tour, having us return at three in the morning: tired, but truly happy and satisfied! The sausages they offered us, which we all roasted together over the bonfire, were also excellent, a pleasant moment of conviviality that made the evening even more special. A truly beautiful and successful experience, made possible by the passion, availability, and professionalism of Gabriel and Sondra. I highly recommend them!

Whale Safari in Tromso

manuhandschin, Nov 2026

Successful whale watching tour

Well organized, good communication, they tell you a lot about the whales. Respectful treatment of nature. Helpful and friendly crew and guides. Booked the tour twice and saw whales both times. The boat is quite a bit faster than other providers and therefore gets to the area where the whales are located faster, but also gets back to Tromsø faster.

Chasing the Northern Lights with Wandering Owl

An unforgettable aurora hunting experience with Wandering Owl! Magda, our knowledgeable guide, and Ilain, our driver, were determined to find the best aurora and they absolutely delivered! We saw some of the brightest, crispest Northern Lights, enjoyed warm food and drinks by a bonfire, and received beautiful tour photos the very next day. Amazing service, great insights, and magical memories. Highly recommend!

Silent Whale Watching by Hybrid-Electric Boat from Tromsø

Lin_G, Nov 2026

Five stars: a fantastic whale watching trip, with a brilliant crew

We were upfront told when boarding that the trip might not go ahead as planned, because the sea was quite wavy. The crew explained that we could give it a try, with the chance of turning back halfway, and that rescheduling or a refund would be offered if that happened. I really appreciated that honesty and flexibility. As it turned out, we were lucky with the weather and the trip went ahead all the way. The staff were helpful and friendly from start to finish, and whenever I asked for help, they were always happy to give it. During the whale watching itself, the crew answered all my questions and were clearly very knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to see a big group of orcas, and even an eagle, which made the trip feel extra special. The presentations on the journey were a real highlight. Mateo's talk on polar bear tracking was especially interesting, full of fascinating insight into life in the Arctic. It made the time between sightings just as engaging. A great experience overall, and I'd happily recommend it to anyone visiting Tromsø.

Otherworldly experience 🌌💚✨🫶🏻

We came to Tromsø to try and regain some magic back into our lives after our daughter passed away this year which devastated us to the core. The tour with Jan was absolutely spectacular - we felt it was just what we needed. We were told there was just a slightest chance of aurora happening which also marred by cloudy skies - but just sat telling stories by the campfire with a lovely group of people, lovely hot drinks and delicious blueberry cake- topped off with Jan’s excellent knowledge and enthusiasm was soo fulfilling, it blew us away! He told us about how the aurora works, the stars the constellations, Sami culture and some Norwegian folklore and we loved learning about it. The chase was real, we ended up touring all around the snow capped mountain roads and borders of Norway/Sweden and Finland, looking for the clearest skies. It was on the way back when Jan told us quick jump out now… and we were treat to an otherworldly light show (with pictures) which is now stored as a core life memory! Best wishes to Jan for his friendly nature, relentless passion for making sure we had the best experience and his thorough and detailed knowledge of everything. Thank you Jan for the trip of a lifetime.

I tried a tour with my 9-year-old. Fortunately, the weather was good, and I was able to see many beautiful auroras. It was easy to participate because the large bus with a restroom was warm inside and allowed for breaks at any time. We warmed up by the bonfire, made hot dogs, and had hot chocolate. You took so many beautiful pictures, and I was able to download them for free later. It was a tour that satisfied the whole family.

Incredible outing, lots of auroras and a talented photographer and guide

The experience was superb with The Green Adventure. From start to finish we had a wonderful time and saw lots of auroras in several locations well selected by the guide who was truly dedicated and passionate. I recommend it 100%. It is worth the price.

Absolutely unforgettable experience!!

The tour staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Their experience and dedication made it possible for us to witness the Northern Lights for the very first time in our lives. And yes—we saw them! Not just a glimpse, but lots of them, dancing across the night sky and reflecting beautifully on the calm waters of a remote beach, with majestic mountain peaks forming the perfect backdrop. It was an absolutely unforgettable experience!

Night Reindeer Sledding with Camp Dinner and Chance of Northern Lights

Matteo_Z, Apr 2026

Unrepeatable, do it

If there is one tour you should definitely do if you are in Tromso, it is this. You can't help but do it, starting from the fact that you will meet real Sami people, who will make you fall in love with their culture and history, passing among reindeer and feeding them is too much fun and unique experience that makes this experience truly something unique. The delicious dinner served closes the circle. The only cons is that it lasts a while, I would have preferred to stay just half an hour longer or even an hour, to try to see if a bit of Northern Lights came out. N.B. If you book in months not really winter probably the sled will not make you do it because the snow may be little

Tromso Self-Drive Husky Dog Sledding

William_B, Mar 2026

While in Finland and...

While in Finland and Norway, we enjoyed many arctic activities, but this was our favorite. We’re animal lovers and appreciate a thrill, and this offered both. The people were so kind and educated us on how to do the activity properly but also on how they (and more importantly, the pups!) prepare for it. Although it’s not ideal for children, we brought our 7-year-old and they made it safe and fun for all of us. There are lots of husky opps in the north, but this one appears to be one truly caring for the dogs. The dogs seem happy and are so eager to go for a fun run through the beautiful mountain side. I have no interest in a sport that gratifies me but at the same of the health and happiness of an animal, and these guys seem to do such an amazing job that both humans and pups are healthy and happy to be there.

This day trip was very...

This day trip was very interesting, fun and informative; we learned about Sami culture and reindeers/herding from a Sami woman (in Tromsø studying at the university) who spoke authentically and well of her culture and was a great tour guide. Thank you to all! The reindeer were super cute, got to feed them for a while :)

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.
