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.

Two Different Ways to Spend a Private Night

On paper the two look alike: your group only, a local guide, a chance at the northern lights. In practice one is a drive and the other is a walk. The van chases clear sky across a wide area; the hike stays closer and puts you on snowshoes in the dark.

Neither can promise the lights, and we would never suggest otherwise.

The Private Northern Lights Tour

The Private Northern Lights Tour5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 runs 5–8 hours, pickup at 19:00 from the location you choose at checkout, up to eight guests, all ages. The operator lists a local expert guide, a premium Mercedes-Benz vehicle, a winter suit, a warm meal, snacks and hot drinks. Our full guide to the private northern lights tour in Tromsø covers the detail.

The Private Aurora Snowshoe Hike

The Private Aurora Snowshoe Hike5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 is NOK 12,000 per group, 4 hours, ages 10+ recommended. It includes a local expert guide, Mercedes minivan transport, snowshoe rental, snacks and a hot drink. Pickup is chosen at checkout. It suits groups who want to be outside and moving.

Side by Side

Who Should Pick Which

• Families with children under 10: the van, the only one open to all ages.
• Active friends and couples: the hike.
• Photographers: the van, for range and time.
• Anyone who dislikes cold: the van, which includes a winter suit.

Cost Per Person

At four people the van is NOK 3,750 each and the hike NOK 3,000 each. At eight, NOK 1,875 and NOK 1,500. The shared options, the Northern Lights Tour5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 at NOK 2,300 and the Aurora Snowshoe Hike5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 at NOK 1,500, remain cheaper for small parties.

What We Would Book

For a family with mixed ages we would choose the van. For a group of adult friends who want to be outdoors we would choose the hike. See our Tromsø activities guide for the rest of the menu.

Our Honest Final Word

Choose the van for range, comfort and age flexibility, and the hike for a walk under the stars. Neither guarantees the lights.
