Northern Horizon · Tromsø
Northern Horizon takes up to 15 guests out of Tromsø with an aurora guide and a photographer, lends a full thermal suit and boots, and grills reindeer sausages by a campfire. It's the cheapest small-group chase on this site, and you still get the gear.
Northern Horizon keeps it simple: a small group, warm gear and a fire. The listing includes an aurora guide, a photographer who takes a professional portrait of you and helps with your own camera, a full thermal suit and boots, hot drinks, snacks and Norwegian reindeer sausages by the campfire. Photos arrive the next day.
You meet at Vestregata 42, 20 minutes before departure, and the listing asks for your shoe size and height so the suit fits. Bring your passport: the route may cross into Finland, and guests report doing that, twice in one night. A vegetarian option is available if you ask at booking.
There's no refund for a night without lights. Northern Horizon's terms say sightings depend on natural conditions and cannot be guaranteed. Free cancellation up to 24 hours before still applies. The drop-off is in the city centre only, so plan a taxi if you're staying further out.
Check in early in central Tromsø. Your suit and boots are matched to the shoe size and height you sent.
The guide drives to the best forecast spot; on some nights that is across the border in Finland.
A fire, hot drinks, snacks and reindeer sausages while you wait for activity.
The photographer takes your portrait under the sky and helps with your camera settings.
The tour runs 6 to 9 hours and ends back at the meeting point. Photos come the next day.
★★★★★It was incredible! Our guide, Harry, was very knowledgeable about the aurora & knew the best places to take us. We stayed later than most of the groups around us & the aurora really exploded after that.
★★★★★Max was so passionate about explaining the northern lights, and very clearly understood the science behind it. Because of his understanding, we were able to see a truly magnificent showing. [...] I also really liked the group size - only about 10 people.
★★★★★Gabriel and Sofia (plus Betek our driver) were amazing! they really took the time to hunt down the lights and make sure we had a great experience.
★★★★★We saw some amazing northern lights, however, please be patient. It took about four hours of standing out in the cold before we saw them.
