Shooting the aurora needs a tripod, a fast lens and somebody who knows where the cloud is not. The 15 below compare what gear is provided, whether the guide shoots you as well as the sky, and how the pictures reach you afterwards.

“Our guide Petra was amazing. She was determined to find us a break in the clouds, persevering long after we had given up. We did get a small glimpse of the lights, but mother nature was not on our side. But the hot chocolate was excellent and the expedition meal surprisingly good.”

“The guide, Jaco, decided at the last minute to totally go a different direction and our experience was amazing. We got to see the Northern Lights as they danced across the sky. Ana was very helpful as I hurt my knee a few hours before the excursion and she made sure that I saw the NL and helped my husband and I take pictures. Wonderful excursion.”

“The Northern Lights tour is phenomenal. Kudos to their team, most of all Mr. Marek Raybar. He always reminded us to be patient.. He is very knowledgable of the science behind the magic of the lights. Also a very good photographer. We thought we’ll never see the Aurora, but we stayed until we see it. It’s our second time with Northern Shots and we love it more the second time around.”

Review of Tromsø’s Northern Lights chase with photography, transport, hot drinks, group sizes, cold-weather tips, and honest value advice.
“The itinerary was so bad, we didn’t even see the Northern Lights at all! That’s the whole reason we went, and it was a total letdown. We sat in the car waiting for like 2-3 hours, and the driver was on his phone the whole time. The noise was nonstop, and it made the night absolutely terrible—so annoying. And the guide? Ugh, they just kept repeating stuff we already knew, and their voice was way too loud. Hearing the same thing over and over was super uncomfortable, no lie. Save your money and time—do NOT book this tour. It’s not worth it at all!”

Chase Tromsø’s Northern Lights by minibus with guide Daniel, thermal suits, bonfire, hot drinks, snacks, and professional portraits.
“Daniel was a great guide, always taking care of us and checking if everyone was feeling fine. He offered us warm drinks, muffins, fruits and water several times during the trip and did not miss out on asking people who stood like a few meters away from the others. He took care of us very well and he also explained facts about aurora and local culture. He drove like a boss although it was a 370km trip with a net driving time of 6h+ from 1800 to 0300. We headed into Finland to avoid severe cloud overcast predicted for Norway. The minibus itself was very comfortable, warm, nice seats to…”

“Nelson is #1! He knows his stuff. He checked an app on his mobile and told the group the weather was not good in Finland. He sighted a possibility in the west and he drove us to Sommaroya. His prediction was that the northern lights would appear around 3am. But Lady Luck was with us and it appeared in full glory at 9am, dancing for an hour. On top of it, Nelson made us hot chocolate, coffee, gave us biscuits, started a campfire, cooked hotdogs and took pictures for us. At the end of the trip, he sent everyone back to our accommodation without us asking!! Nelson is one of…”
Review of Tromsø’s 6.5-hour Northern Lights tour with photographer guide, thermal suits, fires, snacks, Wi-Fi, and photo delivery.
“We had a wonderful night with enjoy the Arctic! As anticipated we had to drive all way to Finland due to the weather, but our guide made sure to get us there in time for the Aurora show (we got lucky that night). He also made sure we could stay in the car a bit longer to avoid the -15 degrees outside until it paid off to go outside. I would recommend the tour 100%, for comfortable travel with a knowledgeable guide who drives safely and takes great pictures! Thanks for the great trip!”

“By far the best tour we booked in Tromsø. The minibus trip was way cozier than a large bus, easier interaction with the fellow travelers as well as our guide. We were provided with perfect thermal clothing and head torches. We put a camp fire, drank hot chocolate and ate chicken soup (our choice, the menu was actually surprisingly diverse). And obviously the most important, our guide, Naiara took us straight to a beautiful fjord beach with a wide opening in all directions, far from the light pollution of Tromso. The night ended up giving us a huge light show that we enjoyed until the end of the tour. Absolutely…”
