No two nights look the same. It is why we never fix the route in advance.

Every review here is left by someone who was on the bus — we email the link the morning after.
03 — The chase
Tromsø sits inside the aurora oval, but the town's own lights and coastal cloud cover often get in the way. Every afternoon our guides read satellite cloud imagery and solar wind data, then pick the darkest, clearest stretch of coastline within reach — sometimes twenty minutes out, sometimes two hours toward the Finnish border.
The coach picks up at hotels in and around Tromsø sentrum. Staying further out, or somewhere we don't swing by? Meet us at Prostneset — the harbour terminal by the Hurtigruten pier, an easy walk or short taxi from anywhere in town. Board, and settle into a heated seat with a wool blanket.
Your guide runs through tonight's forecast and chase plan, checks everyone's layered up for a night standing outside in the cold, and pours the first round of hot cocoa or berry tea.
We drive between two or three dark-sky stops along the fjords — Kvaløya, Sommarøy, or the Malangen coast — pausing wherever the sky opens up. Guides help with camera settings and long-exposure shots at every stop.
The chase itself wraps up by 00:30 — what follows is just the drive back. Photos are shared to a group folder on the way, and you're dropped at your hotel warm and, most nights, with proof the sky did in fact answer.
04 — Charter options
Every charter includes hot drinks and a guide trained in aurora photography. What changes is what you go home with, and how much of the bus — and the route — is yours.

05 — The fleet
Diesel-heated to –25°C, double-glazed for photography through the glass, and fitted with low interior lighting so your eyes stay adjusted to the dark between stops.
Reclining heated seats, onboard flask service, and a low-set interior lighting rig so you keep your night vision between stops.
06 · Who you're booking
The driver drives. The guide reads the forecast, picks where we go, and stays out in the cold with you — helping with camera settings rather than waiting in the warm.
Arctic Touring is a small charter operator registered in Tromsø, running aurora tours from late September to early April.
Every seat is sold by us, not resold through anyone. When you write to booking@tromsoauroratours.no it lands with the people running the tour — usually answered within a day, and if we are out on a charter, the morning after.
