Full description
The experience starts in the dock in the city center in Tromsø, from there you will take on the arctic night on board MS Polar Adventure. The boat departs at 20:00 and will set course to the destination where the chances of seeing the Northern Lights are the greatest. On board are a variety of warm and cold drinks for you to enjoy and keep you warm, it is self-service and you can eat as many cookies and drink as many coffees as you want. There are also thermal suits available for you to put on for a cold winter night. Photos are not included in this activity, but the crew on board will help you to set up the correct settings on your camera and phone, so you can capture the green lady. You are allowed to bring with you food and beverages, but alcohol is not allowed to take on board. The boat will stay with the Northern Light as long as it can take into consideration the duration of the tour. The boat will return at the same dock right next to Scandic Ishavshotel at 23:30. We cannot guarantee the viewing of the Northern Lights, but if you do not see the Northern Light on your first night, you will be offered a new tour for free on the days we have available places(A new tour is only valid once). Since we do not guarantee to view the Northern Lights, a partial or full refund will not be available if you do not see the Northern Lights. On days when the weather is bad and the chances of seeing the Northern Lights are small, we will contact you and ask you to move your booking to another day, so please be available for contact within 24 hours before departure.

Great activity. Never regret choosing it. The boat captain was really wise and honest. He told the passengers about the practicality of seeing northern lights and have also suggested folks to leave if they do not want to gamble their money. I do not regret choosing to stay. Not only we ended up seeing the best pattern of northern lights but also they kept chasing until there was time. We were tired to the core around 12am midnight but the guides were really encouraging and always giving us the nudge to not miss the greatest chances. We would have stayed there watching the lights if it wasn't dead cold 😂. Hot chocolates ran out 😂

Alright. The crew is very friendly and honest, great to chat with. The boat is relatively small but there is everything you need inside, such as biscuits, hot drinks etc... Once outside, there is enough room for everyone, and it is possible to walk around the entire boat.

We were fortunate to see the lights! The boat is older and there were lots of people, and the guides were very kind and helpful! They took our pictures and answered questions. There was plenty of room to go out to view the lights and the cabin was warm! Self serve tea, hot cocoa and coffee were much appreciated!
