Hunt for the Northern Lights by Minibus

Scan the Nighttime Skies for the Aurora Borealis Watch the night skies over Tromsø as you set out in search of the northern lights by minibus. On a clear night, the northern lights may manifest themselves as faint wisps of color or great dancing, shimmering curtains of light over the tundra.
