Review of Chasing Lights’ Tromsø Northern Lights Big Bus Chase, with honest advice on timing, comfort, guides, photos, price, and value.

“Our big bus trip turned into a minibus chase but this turned out to make for a very friendly atmosphere as we were asked to introduce ourselves. We were all from very different parts of the world. Meda, our guide, was amazing and knew exactly which location(s) we should travel to. Supported by driver Brian she took us to three different spots. As an 81 year old this was a bucket list trip having previously failed to see anything much a year ago. My daughters and I saw the most wonderful activity, quite mind blowing and Meda took photos of everyone with fantastic backgrounds. Her patience in finding the right…”

“Arbo was a wonderful guide. It was snowing a lot that night and he drove for a long time, taking us quite a ways into Finland to find us a clear night. He stopped at a beautiful spot, wide open space, with a bright blanket of snow and amazing stars overhead. The Aurora was beautiful that night. In addition to some amazing reds, we also saw a softer sky with pale blues and pinks. He took many photos of each of us and his enthusiasm made us feel like the evening was as special for him as it was for us. Around the campfire, Arbo served us some delicious soup…”

He made us feel comfortable the whole time and was genuinely determined to give us the best chance of seeing the lights; we stopped as many times as needed and kept moving to better spots, which really paid off. We were lucky to have a clear night and saw more and more of the Northern Lights as the evening went on. The bonfire was lovely and cosy, with delicious sausages and marshmallows, and the…”
