What a private tour is, in plain words
A private northern lights tour is the same kind of chase as the shared one, run for one group. You do not share the vehicle with strangers. The shared Northern Lights Tour5% off · HUNGRYTRAVELFAMILY5 has 2–8 guests per departure; the private version is booked for your party only. The inclusions are the same: guide, Mercedes-Benz vehicle, winter suit, a warm meal, snacks and hot drinks.
The operator lists it for all ages, which is the main reason families with young children look at it, since the shared tour is recommended for ages 7+.
The pickup is yours
The shared tour starts outside Clarion Hotel The Edge. On the private tour, you select your preferred pickup location during checkout. That is useful if you are staying outside the centre, if you have a child who is already tired, or if someone in your group finds the walk in the cold hard. The pickup time is 19:00.
The pace is shared only with your own group
On a shared tour, the stops are a compromise among several parties. In your own vehicle, the group sets the mood. If you want a longer stop for photos, a warm break or an earlier start towards home, you can discuss it with the guide. We do not want to promise specific changes, because the guide still decides routes based on weather and safety, and sky conditions drive the plan. What we can say is that a private group has fewer opinions to balance.
The price maths
At NOK 15,000 per group the maths changes with the party size. A couple pays NOK 7,500 each, which is more than three times the shared price of NOK 2,300. A group of four pays NOK 3,750 each. A group of six pays NOK 2,500 each, and a group of eight pays NOK 1,875 each, which is less than the shared price. So the private tour is often the better value for six or more, and a luxury for two.
| Party | Shared (NOK 2,300 pp) | Private (NOK 15,000) |
|---|---|---|
| 2 | 4,600 | 15,000 |
| 4 | 9,200 | 15,000 |
| 6 | 13,800 | 15,000 |
| 8 | 18,400 | 15,000 |

We would choose private for a group of six to eight friends, families with young children, a multigenerational trip, an anniversary or a surprise, and travellers with mobility or comfort needs. We would stay with the shared tour for couples and solo travellers on a budget.
What private does not change
The weather. A private tour does not make the sky clearer. It also does not change the cancellation terms: a full refund more than 48 hours before, and the full price inside 48 hours. Nothing is guaranteed, and the lights remain a natural phenomenon.

Cancellation is the same across these tours: a full refund more than 48 hours before departure, and the full price charged inside 48 hours. If you are unsure about dates, book the tour that fills first and build the rest of the trip around it.

Write down your group size, ages, any mobility or dietary needs and the hotel you stay at. If you have a question the booking page does not answer, message Legendary Adventure before you pay. For other options, see all our Tromsø tour guides.
