An evening snowmobile run into the Arctic wilderness with North Experience, dinner at base camp first, with real chances of a northern lights sighting along the way.
Overview
Pickup is from the Radisson Blu Hotel in central Tromsø, with an 80-minute transfer out to base camp in traditional North Norwegian surroundings.
Start with a hot meal at camp, then gear up in a winter overall, boots, mittens, hat and helmet before a safety briefing and practical demonstration.
Ride in pairs, one driver and one passenger, following a scenic snowmobile track into the snow-covered mountains, with stops for photos and time in the snow. Actual riding time runs 1.5 to 2 hours depending on conditions.
Because this is an evening tour timed for darkness, guides make several stops specifically to improve the odds of a northern lights sighting, though like every aurora activity it is never guaranteed.
The return transfer brings you back to the Radisson Blu, around 8 hours after pickup.
Meeting point: Radisson Blu Hotel, Tromsø.

FAQ
Will I see the northern lights on this tour?
It is not guaranteed. This is fundamentally a snowmobile tour, not a dedicated aurora chase, but because it runs in the evening the guides make several stops specifically to improve the odds, and past guests have reported sightings.
How much actual snowmobile riding is there?
1.5 to 2 hours of riding, depending on conditions, within a roughly 8-hour day that also includes the transfers, dinner at camp and the safety briefing.
Where does this tour start?
Pickup is from the Radisson Blu Hotel in central Tromsø, not the Prostneset harbor terminal used by some of the other snowmobile tours, so double check your confirmation.
Can children come on this tour?
Children under 12 are not permitted. Anyone driving needs a valid driver's license.
