This guide is built from our own winters in the Arctic and from the live Legendary Adventure tour pages in Tromsø — prices, pickup times and what is included come straight from the operator, never invented.

What the Aurora Snowshoe Hike is

The operator describes it as a night snowshoe adventure under the sky with the opportunity to see the northern lights. The trails that feel familiar by day take on a different mood after dark, and the page says the terrain becomes a captivating adventure by night. The tour is 4 hours including transfer, so the walk itself is part of a compact evening.

This is the main difference from a chase. On a chase you drive for hours to find clear sky. On the snowshoe hike you stay closer, move on foot and treat the aurora as a possible bonus. It suits people who want to be active, who like the idea of being in the snow after dark and who do not mind that the lights are not guaranteed. For the other evening options, our central list is our Tromsø activities guide.

The facts in one table

Everything here comes from the operator’s own pages. We do not add inclusions that are not listed.

Why book direct, and what “direct” means here

The tours in this guide are sold on Legendary Adventure’s own booking page, which runs on FareHarbor. That page is where the promo-code field lives, and our reader discount works there. Booking through the operator’s site means you deal with the company that runs the tour, you see its live calendar and you can apply the code at checkout.

We are not here to compare other booking sites and we will not quote their prices. The only claim we make is the simple one: our 5% discount applies when you book online on the operator’s own page. That is the page every tour name in this guide links to.

Step by step: booking with the code

1. Open the Aurora Snowshoe Hike5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 booking link.
2. Choose your date in the live calendar and the number of guests.
3. Continue to checkout and find the promo-code field.
4. Type HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 and apply it. The 5% reduction should appear in the total before you pay.
5. Enter your details and complete the booking.

If the discount does not show, check that you are on the operator’s own booking page and that you typed the code without spaces. The code works on every Legendary Adventure tour booked online.

Aurora snowshoe hike or northern lights chase?

A quick comparison helps. The Northern Lights Tour5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 is NOK 2,300 per person for 5–8 hours with a winter suit, a warm meal, snacks and hot drinks, and the guides drive to where the sky is clear. The Aurora Snowshoe Hike5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 is NOK 1,500 for 4 hours, closer to town and on foot. If seeing the aurora is your main goal, the chase covers more sky and is our first recommendation. If you want to be active, to spend less and to enjoy a night walk whatever the sky does, the hike is a good fit.

Plenty of travellers with four nights book one of each. A second option for a longer stay is to add the daytime Arctic Snowshoe Hike5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 at NOK 1,500 for 4 hours.

What to wear for a night in the snow

The operator advises dressing in layers and wearing good winter shoes that keep you warm and dry. At night, it is colder than in the day, so add an extra layer. Thermal base layers, a fleece, a windproof jacket, a hat, gloves and a neck warmer are the basics. Two pairs of socks help, as long as your boots still fit. Bring a small bag for a water bottle, a charged phone and a power bank.

Snowshoes and poles are provided, as is snowshoe rental, so you do not need to bring anything special. The guide shows you how to use them. Take your gloves off only briefly for photos, and keep your phone warm in an inside pocket between shots.

Who should choose the private version

The Private Aurora Snowshoe Hike5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 is NOK 12,000 per group, which is NOK 1,500 per person for eight guests and NOK 3,000 for four. It keeps the same four hours, the same inclusions and the same age recommendation, but the group is yours and the pickup location is chosen at checkout. We would pick it for a proposal, a family celebration or a group of friends who want to set their own pace. For couples, shared is the sensible default.

Transparency: we are Legendary Adventure’s partner and may earn a small commission when you book with our code. It never changes your price, and every fact in this guide comes from the operator’s own tour pages.

Cancellation, timing and a realistic plan

The policy is a full refund more than 48 hours before the tour and a 100% charge inside 48 hours, so book once your dates are fixed. Pickup is at 18:30, and the tour is 4 hours, so you are back in the centre in the late evening. That makes it easier than a chase to fit around a dinner and an early start.

A sensible plan for a three-night trip is the chase on night one, a rest or free evening on night two, and the snowshoe hike on night three, or the other way around. If you have a daytime tour, remember that the next morning is easier after the shorter walk. We also recommend leaving the final evening free if you have an early flight.
