I think I would join a tour if I were you. Tromsø is a difficult city to drive (I arrived from there half an hour ago), and I think you are more likely to be lucky on a tour, and if you don't get to see the northern light, at least you get to know a lot about it

You are right. It seems the tour guides will drive as far as it takes to see the northern lights. If you know some good tour companies, please feel free to refer. Thanks again.

I am planning to take a short trip to Norway in late October, about 4 nights. I really want to see the northern lights, but not sure if late Oct is a good time to go. Anyone has any suggestions how my itinerary should be like? I have never been to Norway though, so I also want to visit Oslo. Is one full day in Oslo good enough considering I only have limited time? Looking forward to hearing from you guys!! Thanks in advance.
I will be leaving from SFO!

Are you still going to Tromsø? It isn't a difficult drive at all.... I'd really recommend a rental car 
Ask me anything, I've lived in the town for 22 years. let me know and i'll hook you up with my aurora-sightings-roadtrip-map

Yes, I am going to Tromsø on October 24 and will stay for two nights. Have already booked the airline tix from Oslo to Tromsø. However, I am about to book tours to chase the northern lights. I will send you a private message to get some details about your aurora-sightings-roadtrip-map! Thanks.
