Experience the magic of the Northern Lights on a comfortable, budget-friendly chase designed to give you a great chance of witnessing this natural wonder. Our modern and spacious Big Bus offers warmth and shelter during the chase as we explore the Arctic regions, guided by our expert Northern Lights guides.

The journey begins in Tromsø’s city centre, where we’ll set out to find the best weather conditions that night. Our flexible route may take us along the coast or deep into the inland regions, even across the border into Finland. Along the way, our guides will share insights about the Northern Lights and photography tips, answering any questions you may have.

In recent years, the roads have become busier, with many other vehicles also chasing the lights. This means that scenic foregrounds can sometimes be difficult to access, and our stops may be alongside roads or more populated areas. We always aim to give you the best possible view, but the focus of this tour is finding clear skies and maximizing your chance of seeing the aurora. We stay in touch with fellow guides to decide whether to stay put or move in search of better conditions.

To keep you comfortable, we provide hot berry juice and hot water to prepare your own meal, though we kindly ask you to eat outside the bus. While the bus is heated, please note that on particularly cold nights, it may cool down over time. Dressing in warm layers is recommended to ensure you stay cozy throughout the chase.

If you’re looking for an affordable and well-organized way to experience the Northern Lights, our Big Bus Chase offers excellent value with professional photography included in the experience. Our guides will capture moments throughout the evening, and you’ll receive a full gallery of professional photos the following morning at no extra charge.

Please note: A toilet on board is not guaranteed. Depending on group size and logistics, the tour may operate using a vehicle without a toilet. We recommend planning accordingly.
