Prepare to embark on an extraordinary journey with us, chasing the magic in the Arctic skies from the heart of Tromsø. We will be chasing low light pollution and trying to dodge those pesky clouds that might try to steal the show of the aurora borealis from us.

General information

This tour is conducted by Norwegian Travel/Destination Tromsø. Our mission is to take you on a thrilling ride searching the celestial canvas above. We will be heading to the prime spots with the highest odds of catching the mesmerising auroras.

Once we have found the perfect spot, where the stage is set for nature's grand performance, we will give you steaming hot drinks and biscuits to help you keep warm. Our dedicated guides will be your Arctic companions throughout the evening, ensuring you a comfortable experience.

For extra comfort, you can rent thermal suits and boots at the meeting point of the tour. Since Tromsø's weather likes to keep us guessing, we might just turn this adventure into a dance with the elements, taking you to various awe-inspiring locations under the Arctic night sky in search of our lady in the sky.

Consider it your cosmic photo op, capturing memories that will last a lifetime. If you are looking to take northern lights picture yourself, your guide will be happy to help and share tips and tricks with you.

    About Destination Tromsø and Quest

    In the center of the Aurora heartland – Tromso Norway


    Tromsø Norway, the Arctic city that has positioned itself to be the preferred destination for the Northern Lights travelers, but the city has so much more to offer!



    Where else in Europe can you combine a whale watching safari with an exciting evening snowmobiling tour? Or enjoy the Northern lights crossing narrow fjords while you are pulled by huskies through the Arctic wilderness?



    Tromsø is an international city, unique with hosting every reason-to-go above the Arctic circle combined with great international flight connections, expedition museums and a decent choice of high-quality restaurants. It offers all the modern facilities, but the Arctic wilderness is right outside your doorstep.



    Join us on a whale watching adventure by boat offering a unique chance to witness these marine mammals in their natural habitat, but also breathtaking views while navigating into their territory.



    Experience the Northern Lights and head out on a thrilling evening chase by bus. Or combine both of these highlights in one unique all-inclusive 24 hour-activity aboard our expedition ship MV Quest.



    Make sure you are outside with us when the magic happens.
