The experience starts in the dock in the city center in Tromsø, from there you will take on the arctic night. The boat departs at 20:00 and will set course to the destination where the chances of seeing the Northern Lights are the greatest. On board are a variety of warm and cold drinks for you to enjoy and keep you warm. The boat will stay with the Northern Light as long as it can take into consideration the duration of the tour. The boat will return at the same dock you departed from at 23:30. We cannot guarantee the viewing of the Northern Lights, but if you do not see the Northern Light on your first night, you will be offered a 30 % discount on a new tour on the days we have available places(A new tour is only valid once). Since we do not guarantee to view the Northern Lights, a partial or full refund will not be available if you do not see the Northern Lights.

We saw the Aurora, multiple times and in varying intensity. There was cocoa, tea, cookies and a delicious fish soup. The crew is super friendly, everyone is available for questions. There was also help with the phone settings and they were also suitable for couples as photographers, so we were in a photo together with the Aurora in the background. We really liked it and we can only recommend it. There were also two sweet and lovely little on-board dogs.
The guides made this trip! Tomas and Christina were fun to talk with. The sky was clear and we had a great evening viewing the lights. I would recommend.
Hi! Thank you so much for the nice feedback :) It was a wonderful night and thank you for joining us! Thomas
Amazing when the weather is right for the Northern Lights. This experience is weather contingent. The guys did everything they could do to find them and we had success!
Yes, the weather plays a big part of finding the Northern Lights, and am i am glad we where able to show you the aurora. Thank you for choosing us, we appriciate it!
This trip was cancelled as we all arrived!! I understand that trips get cancelled due to weather (too many clouds), however it was cloudy and windy all day and they must have known that it would not change into the evening. If the trip provider sent the cancellation out during the afternoon or even early evening, guests would still have been able to make alternative arrangements for entertainment for the evening! Or, even allowing the cruise to take place without the possibility of seeing the northern lights would have been a more favorable option! I am also told that I have to wait 7 days for my refund.. The trip cancellation was not done automatically by Viator. 😞
Hi! Thank you for your feedback. On this particular night, we were very unsure about the weather conditions and wanted to wait as long as we could before making a decison. As the weather forecast just got worse closer to departure time, the captain and crew decided to not proceed with the tour, as we know from experience that going out in bad weather would not be a plesant experience for you. So, the decision was taken with the best intentions, so you would not have to spend 3.5 hours out on the sea with no chances of seeing the aurora, but instead use the night to something else.
Very good tour. Good to see the lights. With a bathroom, snack, warm inside the boat. Great choice for a tour.
It takes about 20 minutes to get beyond the lights of Tromso to the optimal darkness for lights viewing, and then you wait! We were very lucky to see a beautiful light display, but booked this tour for the second chance guarantee offered just in case the weather made viewing difficult. The boat was at capacity so be prepared to negotiate a crowd on deck for viewing. Recommend!
Don't hire this agency! Long in advance, since November/2025, I bought two tours with this agency. A boat ride at night to see the Northern Lights, and a day fishing. This fishing was my husband's dream. For then, without further delays, on the eve they canceled the night tour, alleging bad weather. We were even frustrated, but all right, we understand. But the next day, the fishing was also canceled. The problem is I was staying in the hotel in front of the marina, and I saw the company boat leaving for the tour. I contacted to complain and employee Vitor said that a boat left, but what I bought did not leave. Is the sea now selective? All right, I reinforced how much my husband dreamed of this ride and asked to put us in the next day, but that employee said he had no vacancy. I proved I had a vacancy by sending a purchase simulation, showing 6 vacancies left, and I only needed 2. But he's bad, cruel, and even had empathy with the situation and left us out of that dream ride. He even gave a satisfaction about the vacancies that I proved existed. We had to deal with this kind of company and employee who has not a drop of responsibility and education with their clients. I did wonderful walks with the Wandering Owl and Reinder. Get out of this agency if you don't want to get frustrated.
Dear guest, we may have to cancel the tour for our paying guests when the weather is too brutal. The crew going out with the boat may mean that the boat must be secured to another location and protected from the weather and wind. We only cancel if it is absolutely necessary and to give our guests the most pleasant tours possible. Here in the Arctic we are all frustrated by the weather but safety and health come before joy as you may understand. Kind regards Polar Team
We were lucky and happened to book the boat tour on a clear night and witnessed a dazzling Northern Lights display for hours. The staff were friendly and willing to adjust phone camera settings and take pictures for guests. Hot beverages and cookies were a nice touch. Icy conditions on the deck but that is to be expected in February in Tromso. Only thing I would adjust is to establish a more formal boarding process, it was a little chaotic scanning tickets and boarding the boat. Overall, a 5 star experience!
A good (and rewarding!) trip last night expertly hosted by the entertaining and knowledgeable Joanna and Ken. Well worth exploring.
The activity was cancelled we were not notified and we were never refunded despite my numerous claims that remained unanswered ...
