Northern Lights Safari
“Guided northern lights chases from Tromsø with over 95% success”
How we came to work with Northern Lights Safari.
Northern Lights Safari is a Tromsø-based operator dedicated to one thing: the aurora. Their trained guides and photographers run nightly expeditions from the city centre throughout the season, welcoming tens of thousands of guests every winter. Instead of driving to a fixed viewing spot and hoping, they monitor live weather and aurora data through the evening and chase clear skies wherever they open up — the result is a success rate of over 95% across the season. Tours depart from Samuel Arnesens gate 5 in central Tromsø and typically last around six hours. A professional photographer travels with every group so you go home with real images instead of blurry phone shots, the buses are warm with onboard toilets, hot drinks and thermal suits keep the cold out, and dedicated departures run in English, Norwegian, French, German, Spanish and Italian. If the sky stays quiet — it rarely does — guests can join another tour at 30% off. We believe the best Arctic holidays are built from experiences run by specialists. We live and breathe huskies; they live and breathe the aurora. Spend the daylight hours with our dogs, have dinner in town, then head out into the polar night — guests who combine both consistently tell us it was the highlight of their entire trip.

A glimpse into the experience
Huskies by day, aurora by night
Spend your daylight hours with us at Aurora Husky, learning to drive your own team through snow-covered valleys — or simply cuddling our friendly dogs and hearing about life at an Arctic kennel. Then, after dinner in Tromsø, meet the Northern Lights Safari team in the city centre and head out into the polar night to hunt the aurora. One fills your day with adrenaline and warm husky greetings; the other fills your night with the most spectacular light show on Earth. Guests who combine both consistently tell us it was the highlight of their entire trip.
