Experience a Unique Northern Light Safari in Tromsø with Polar Adventures
If you're searching for a unique northern light safari that goes beyond the ordinary, Polar Adventures in Tromsø offers unforgettable ways to witness the magic of the Aurora Borealis. With years of experience in the Arctic and a passionate team of expert guides, we specialize in creating authentic, safe, and personal northern light tours designed to connect you with nature’s most awe-inspiring show.
Why go on a Northern Light Safari in Tromsø?
Tromsø is one of the best places in the world to see the Northern Lights. Located above the Arctic Circle, it offers long, dark winter nights and frequent auroral activity. But at Polar Adventures, we go one step further — offering flexible, small-group safaris that focus on comfort, atmosphere, and maximized chances of seeing the aurora.
Whether you prefer chasing the lights by boat, minibus, or larger bus, each option is thoughtfully designed to deliver a unique northern light experience with a personal touch.
Northern Light Safari by Boat – A Peaceful Chase on Arctic Waters
For those seeking a serene and scenic aurora experience, our Northern Lights Chase by Boat is a truly unique option. Departing from the Tromsø city center, this 3.5-hour evening cruise takes you away from light pollution and out into the Arctic waters aboard our comfortable boat, Capella.
As you search for the lights, you’ll enjoy:
- Hot drinks and cookies served on board
- Access to thermal suits for warmth and comfort
- Guidance on setting up your camera or phone to capture the aurora
- A calm and quiet atmosphere under the Arctic sky
While we can’t guarantee a sighting, your odds are excellent — and if the lights don’t appear, you’ll receive a 50% discount on another chase by boat. This commitment to guest satisfaction is part of what makes our boat safari truly special.
Small-Group Minibus Safari – Flexible, Intimate, and Immersive
For a more mobile and flexible adventure, our Polar Northern Lights Chase by Minibus is an ideal choice. Led by seasoned aurora hunters, this 6-hour safari is limited to small groups, allowing for a cozy and customized experience.
Highlights include:
- Pick-up from the city center and transport to the best viewing locations
- Stops along the way for photos of Arctic landscapes and, of course, the lights
- Warm snacks, hot drinks, and insulated suits included
- Optional aurora photos taken by your guide (available for purchase)
- Direct drop-off at your hotel after the tour
This safari offers a unique chance to go off the beaten track, sometimes even crossing into Finland or Sweden in search of clear skies and optimal aurora conditions.
Bus Safari – A Comfortable Adventure for Families and Groups
Looking for a comfortable yet unique northern light safari for a larger group or family? Our Polar Northern Light Chase by Bus combines group convenience with expert guidance and exceptional scenery.
What makes it special:
- Friendly, experienced guides and aurora hunters
- Free professional photos taken during the trip
- Opportunities to rent tripods and get photography tips
- Flexible routes that follow the weather in real-time
- Drop-off at your hotel after the experience
Even with more participants, the tour maintains a warm, welcoming atmosphere — a perfect way to explore the Arctic countryside while chasing the northern lights.
