• Boreal Quest: absolutely recommended!

  George, of Boreal Quest, was a wonderful guide. He showed us the most beautiful Northern Lights we could ever imagine, far exceeding our expectations. He led us to a stunning location, a magical place where we were alone under a starry sky, surrounded by snowy mountains, the water of a fjord and the most sensational and breathtaking Northern Lights. He took some wonderful photos of all of us and the landscape and told us lots of interesting things about the Northern Lights. It was a unique experience!

  

• Amazing Aurora Hunting Experience

  My wife and I had an unforgettable aurora hunting experience, and it was truly special thanks to our guide, George. On that night in Tromsø, it was snowing heavily, which made the conditions more challenging. Because of this, we traveled many kilometers, driving late into the night and even crossing into Finland, until we finally found the perfect spot — at exactly the right moment — to see the northern lights. George’s dedication and persistence made all the difference, and seeing the aurora after such an effort was incredibly rewarding. The vehicle was very comfortable, and the warm soup and hot chocolate were wonderful touches during such a long and cold night. We truly appreciate George’s professionalism and commitment. Highly recommended — a once-in-a-lifetime experience for us as a couple.

  We originally had a tour booked with another company that got cancelled, and because they didn't have availability while we were in town, they recommended George's tour that we gladly accepted. The trip with him was amazing! The size group was very small, so we were able to socialize with people with the same interests as us, making this trip even more enjoyable. Since the weather was so nice with perfectly clear skies, George chose to take us on a beautiful fjord, where the moon was lighting very nicely the landscape. Very soon after we left the town we were able to see the Northern Lights, and during the trip we moved to 3 different locations, the night being full of Aurora activity. George is so knowledgeable about the phenomenon, he explained to us so many things. We cannot recommend more this tour!

  

• Best night of our lives

  This is my first TripAdvisor review and trust me when I say George and Boreal Quest deserve it. It is so difficult to filter through all the different tour companies in Tromso, after reading a bit you quickly understand that smaller group size is generally a better experience. But even then, you still have dozen of companies and they all sound amazing. For me the stakes of choosing the best tour company were even higher as I was planning to propose to my girlfriend under the northern lights. Finally I shortlisted and chose Boreal Quest to do the job in this once in a lifetime night. I couldn’t have chosen better! There are no words. George was fantastic, communication was great leading up to the big day, he even helped me prepare a few surprises for my girlfriend (if you’re reading this George, can’t thank you enough!). We did a private tour with George, the weather was not ideal but George made the night a true “quest”, honoring the company name. From the beginning you can tell George is not your regular tour guide, he is super knowledgeable about the area and frankly speaking gives the most accurate (and understandable) scientific explanation of the auroras phenomenon (even better than different museums we visited). The chase of the auroras was super dynamic and a mix of gut feeling and science which was super interesting to see. We were one of the few people who saw auroras that night thanks to him and he made our night magical. To add a few extra points to this experience, the car is super comfortable and equipped with thermal suits if you need them. George prepared some tea and hot chocolate and cookies during the quest but the star of the night was the homemade lentil soup (you’re not booking this experience expecting great dinner but this was such an upgrade compared to other tours that give you “soup in a box”. Lastly, experiencing the lights in person was a dream come true and George was also able to capture many nice pictures of the lights and us (which he edified and shared in the same night!). We did other tours during our trip and they had great passionate tour guides also. But what Boreal Quest offers thanks to George (and Peter) is honestly a best in class experience for the same price point as other tours. Hoping this is helpful to whoever is reading and make the decision to go for Boreal Quest

• PERFECT tour, amazing staff and wonderful Northen Lights.

  I joined the tour of Jan 21th and it was the best decision I made in Tromso. I had joined the tour of other agnecy the night before and I'd repeat with that agency until a friend connected me with Boreal Quest. Everything was perfect. George's (and Yvana's) vibe, kindness and experience made that a really special night. He took us to a perfect place (a desert beach) where we saw fantastic Northen Lights and they prepared a campfire with foldable stools, hot drinks and amazing homemade soup. They also had insulated coveralls and body warmers (thermal stickers) available if someone in the group needed. The fact that they work with smaller groups is something to be highlighted!

  Great experience! Tour done well and quality. Worth the expense. Professional and prepared George took us to a wonderful place in the woods where we could see the aurora and lots of stars despite the fact that in the Tromsø area it was cloudy. Would highly recommend

  We had an amazing time on the aurora tour with Peter. He is very knowledgeable about not just Aurora but the history, geography, culture, lifestyle and everything related to Tromso and its inhabitants. He kept us engaged throughout the drive. The star of the show northern lights were beautiful, Peter took our pictures, made time lapse videos and set up a lovely camp for us. I would highly recommend going with Boreal Quest and with Peter.

• Absolutely worth the money

  The effort our guide put into our trip was amazing. Initially, we tried to catch a spot at an idyllic and remote coastline. Even though we already spottet northern lights then, we needed to switch our spot due to the upcoming clouds. Our guide raced to the next camping spot far away, and did anything possible to a human, so we could catch that opportunity. He also received a professional photoshooting, followed by a bonfire, soup and cookies.

  It was an amazing experience with George. He brought us to 3 different places before we settled around a fire with hot soup and bread. George was constantly checking in with us whether we need any warmers/thermal suits to make sure we were warm. The northern lights that day was an amazing sight! Love the cozy tour and the pictures taken of us. Thanks George :) (attached photo taken by George)
