I spent $170 on 4 failed tours to see the northern lights and then finally saw them while waiting at a bus stop

During my northern lights tours, I discovered that many guides lacked expertise, with one bluntly declaring that it was impossible to see the lights from the city center.

Ironically, while waiting at a bus stop in the city center after a failed tour, I witnessed the northern lights for 10 minutes—a reminder of the unpredictability of nature.

In my experiences in Tromsø, after leaving the cities on tours, I often heard that the northern lights appeared just hours after we departed, raising doubts about the effectiveness of such tours.
