Tour description

Experience the Northern Lights on a spectacular boat trip from Tromsø. See the magical Northern Lights on a 2.5-hour fjord cruise in beautiful surroundings along the Tromsø coast. Get the city lights from a distance – and experience the Northern Lights at their best!
To get the best possible experience of the magical Northern Lights, it is important not to be surrounded by city lights. On board a spacious and comfortable catamaran, you quickly get away from the lights of the Arctic capital and can enjoy the unique experience of the Aurora Borealis as she dances in the darkness of the polar night.

Didn't get to experience the Northern Lights? Don't despair! We guarantee another opportunity!

The crew on board will do everything they can to ensure that you get to experience the Northern Lights on your trip.
If you do not experience this fascinating natural phenomenon, you will be able to receive a free ticket to our next available Northern Lights safari within the same season.
NB: This does not apply to the last Northern Lights safari of the season on March 31.
