Tromso tours start around US$140 for a guided cruise of the fjords for a few hours. Expect to pay considerably more for authentic Norwegian-themed tours to chase the northern lights or longer cruises with a traditional lunch or dinner on board. Some tours offer luxurious upgrades, such as a hot tub for the return journey after you’ve finished sightseeing.

If you stay in the city, you can find great deals like the Essential Tromso Historical City Walk (from US$35 per person), a 2.5-hour guided walking tour that includes admission to the Polar Museum. Private tours cost much more—this 5-star Private Fjord Tour With Premium 4×4 Vehicle starts at US$1,172 per group, but it’s fully customizable and includes beverages, lunch, a private driver/guide, and hotel pick-up.

Tromso tours offer an array of fun, interactive, and educational activities. Adventure-seekers can ride on a snowmobile or take a husky sledding self-drive tour to see the Arctic wilderness (all winter gear is provided). You’ll also find a range of polar fjord cruises, allowing you opportunities to view the winter landscapes, look for the aurora borealis, and spot humpback whales. You can also try your hand at fishing and sample local dishes, such as reindeer soup.

Consider an all-day or multi-day Tromso tour to pack in as many sights and activities as possible.

The northern lights are unpredictable and weather-dependent. Typically, the best time of year to see them is between late August to mid-April.
