Frequently asked questions
What are the chances of seeing the aurora?
98% across the season. Our local guides chase clear skies and drive to the best conditions each night rather than staying in one spot.
What makes this different from the small group tour?
You get the vehicle and the guide to yourselves. The route, the stops and the pace are set around your group rather than shared with other travellers.
Where does the tour depart from?
We meet at Vestregata 42 in central Tromsø. The exact meeting details are in your booking confirmation.
How long is the tour?
Around 7 hours. We stay out until we have given the aurora the best possible chance.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ What an unforgettable experience! Max was an absolutely fantastic Northern Lights guide. His knowledge of the area and the aurora was incredible, and his friendly personality and great sense of humour made the entire experience even more enjoyable. What really stood out was how much effort he put into making sure we had the best possible chance of seeing the Northern Lights. He genuinely went above and beyond, and his passion and dedication were evident throughout the trip. Max made an already magical experience even more special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thank you, Max, for making our trip so memorable! We would highly recommend him and the Northern Horizon to anyone hoping to experience the magic of the Northern Lights! 🌌✨

Awesome experience - Gabriel and Marwan were awesome!!! Highly recommend Gabriel specifically. Took us to a very secluded area on a beach about an hour and a half outside of Tromso and we had an incredible time. My pictures don’t do it justice. From start to finish they did an awesome job! Highly recommend! Thanks to Marwan for the driving and assisting in getting us all suited up.

Amazing tour!!
The tour was amazing! We were with the tour guide Nelson who was super professional, fun and friendly. We had wonderful time and were lucky enough to see the sky full of the northern lights! The tour guide took beautiful photos of us and told us all about the northern lights. Thank you! We love to come again next time in tromso❤️

Incredible Northern Horizon Tour with Max – Highly Recommended! Our guide Max and the driver were truly outstanding! On our tour day in Tromsø, it was raining with the sky completely covered in clouds. We were so worried we wouldn't get to see the Northern Lights. However, Max constantly monitored the sky and directed our driver all the way to the Finnish border. He took us to a peaceful spot, where we enjoyed warm local sausages, and hot drinks around the fire in comfy thermal suits—and we finally saw the stunning lights! What touched us most was that Max genuinely prioritized showing us the lights over keeping to a schedule. Though originally a 6–7.5 hour tour, we didn't return until 3:00 AM. For him, time wasn't an issue as long as we had an extraordinary experience. 100% trustworthy and worth every minute!!

I really want to highlight how amazing Gabriel was as our guide throughout the entire experience. He was incredibly attentive, friendly, and passionate! He never stopped explaining things to us and keeping us excited, constantly reassuring us that we were going to see the Northern Lights no matter what — and we actually did! A huge shoutout to Vitek, our driver, as well! He noticed a strange smell coming from the minibus and immediately decided to switch vehicles before we even started the trip. That really showed how much he cared about everyone’s safety and comfort. He was an excellent driver, always attentive and supportive of Gabriel. They make an incredible team! And to top it all off, they dropped us off right at the door of our hotel in Tromsø! The photos were absolutely spectacular, and the campfire was such a special touch that made the whole experience even more magical. I honestly felt like a little kid again, haha! The hot chocolate was delicious, the location was perfect, and the hospitality was outstanding. My friends absolutely loved the thermal suits, too! Everything about this experience was amazing, from beginning to end. We couldn’t have asked for a better Northern Lights adventure. Thank you so much, Gabriel and Vitek, for making this such an unforgettable experience!

Unforgettable experience!! :) We did the tour yesterday with Gabriel and Isac, and it was amazing. Both were incredibly attentive from start to finish. Gabriel has such a contagious energy, always cheerful, helpful and positive! The forecast wasn't on our side and the sky was full of clouds, but he never gave up. He did everything he could to make it the best experience possible, and thanks to his effort, we saw the northern lights! Highly recommend. Thank you, Gabriel and Isac! 💚
