Highlights
Budget-Friendly Northern Lights Chase – Offers an affordable way to hunt for the Northern Lights while maintaining comfort in a modern, heated bus. Flexibility to Find Clear Skies – Our route adapts based on weather conditions, sometimes taking us inland, along the coast, or even into Finland to maximize the chances of seeing the aurora. Transparency About Challenges – We prioritize finding clear skies over scenic locations due to increased road traffic. Stops may be alongside roads, but our goal is to provide the best possible view of the Northern Lights. Comfort with Realistic Expectations – The bus offers warmth, though it may cool down on particularly cold nights. Guests are encouraged to dress in warm layers for added comfort. Guided by Experts – Knowledgeable guides provide insights and help with photography, ensuring a memorable experience.

5Northern lights tour - 100/10 recommend!
Irene and Ivan were the best tour guides! Irene gave very clear expectations of the evening, great stories and snacks. We were very lucky to go on a clear night and had a wonderful experience seeing the Northern Lights. I highly recommend booking this tour!! Worth noting most tours don’t permit toddlers - this tour does and will accommodate with a car seat for the bus ride.
5Amazing Chasing Lights with CL!
My family and I had the most beautiful check off our bucket list with Chasing Lights. All thanks to Trisha,our dedicated planner and operations guide, every Itinerary was superbly planned out, taking into consideration the dynamics of elderly in our group of 8. CL (Chasing Lights) houses the most dedicated, warm, helpful, considerate and passionate guides. From their team of Alex and Jonas who chased our nights beneath the cold, we caught the a set of breathtaking spews of colors in the night skies. Jefta and Marius brought us to day tours for snowmobile mobil, and walks in the beautiful Fjords and the city of Tromsø, sharing lots of stunning scenery. Also not forgetting a very safe and experienced driver Patryk who drove us in the nights on our chase - was so warm and helpful as well throughout. Beyond doubt, do engage CL for your memorable Northen Lights chase and you will be in safe hands throughout. They are quick in responses and I must say the most responsible tour agency I have ever experienced ;D Thank you for the memories 💚
5Amazing experience!
Tromsø was completely cloudy on the day of our tour. We thought we are not going to see any northern light. However. Our tour guide( Alex) took us all the out to Finland where there were some clear sky. Alex was amazing, he picked a perfect spot. The minute we got off the bus we had sighting! Then we witnessed a dancing northern light. It was such an unforgettable experience! Even during our way back, he spotted another northern light activity and stopped the bus for us to take more pictures. I highly recommend chasing light tour!
5Simply the best!
Alex and Marcin went above and beyond to make sure we got the clearest skies, even travelling into Finland. Great info and photos!
5A must do!! Irene and Ivan for the win!
We lucked out on the day we chose because we got AMAZING Northern Lights activity! Ivan, our driver, and Irene, our guide, were excellent hosts. You can tell Irene is passionate about what she does - her energy was magnetic. She found a beautiful spot for us to camp out at and await the lights, complete with hot drinks and a campfire, and provided us with awesome photos. This was a truly one of a kind experience and I'm really glad we went with this tour instead of the one we had originally booked. Thank you, Irene and Ivan!

About Tromsø
Tromsø is a Norwegian city well inside the Arctic Circle, on an island among fjords and peaks, known for the northern lights and the midnight sun.
Tromsø stands on an island in northern Norway, linked to the mainland by a bridge and a tunnel, with jagged peaks rising across the sound. Founded in the eighteenth century, it grew as a base for Arctic hunters and explorers, and the Polar Museum recalls expeditions that set out from the harbour. The Arctic Cathedral, with its angled glass front, stands across the bridge, and wooden houses fill the old centre.
Top-ranked sights in Tromsø: Tromso Fjords, Kvaloya (Sállir), Sommaroy.
