About this activity

Embark on our private and most exclusive Northern Lights adventure near Tromsø, ideal for solo travelers, couples, families, and friends seeking an authentic and personalized experience. This unique excursion offers flexibility, privacy, and a tailored guided tour. It includes pick-up and drop-off for added convenience, along with flexible start times to suit your schedule. Enjoy traveling VIP style in our comfortable four-wheel drive Mercedes, giving us the flexibility to discover the Northern Lights where we need to go. Our maximum group size is six, but bigger groups can be catered for on request. Simply send us an email at contact@naturguiden.no

As we navigate the months with dark evenings from September to April, our primary goal is to chase clear skies, maximizing our chances of witnessing the enchanting Northern Lights. The excursion normally spans 5-6 hours and takes us in various directions away from the city lights, allowing us to explore the most promising vantage points during the evening. 

Our commitment to small groups and compact transportation allows the exploration of areas inaccessible to larger buses, ensuring an intimate experience. This approach provides time for conversations, photography sessions, basic Northern Lights photography lessons, and building connections. Enjoy pick-up and drop-off within Tromsø, with the tour duration and start time tailored to your preferences.

Rest assured, our guides are seasoned professionals with an education in guiding and familiar with the local terrain and cultural sights. Drawing on years of exploring northern Norway, we promise an unparalleled adventure. 

The weather often favors clear skies along the coast or inland, where temperatures drop compared to the city. Some days require minimal travel for extended outdoor enjoyment, while others involve a strategic "hunt" for the lights. Our farthest option reaches the Finnish border, a scenic 2-3 hour drive. Sightings are likely, but this natural phenomenon is unpredictable, and there are no guarantees. Each excursion is a unique and thrilling experience.

We make multiple stops throughout the evening to witness the lights' spectacle – sometimes directly above or behind us. Weather permitting, enjoy a longer stop with a bonfire, a pre-prepared meal, and a hot beverage. A Barents Sea dip on milder nights is an option for the adventurous – bring a towel and earn your bravery diploma.

Join us for an unforgettable journey, where the northern lights' beauty merges with local hospitality. Whether you're a seasoned enthusiast or a first-time viewer, our private adventure promises a magical experience. 


Ideally, the tour has a start time between  7 pm/19:00 and 9 pm/21:00. If you need a later start time than the standard 7 pm/19:00 we will agree upon a different time before the tour.

We are usually flexible on departure day, meaning that if you have booked on a Monday, and the weather looks better on Sunday, we will try to rearrange. Whether we can rearrange depends on availability. Enjoy a risk-free 24-hour cancellation policy on this private tour.

The private tour might be canceled due to weather and driving conditions. We will keep you informed and make a decision together.
