Your guide has many years of experience and extensive knowledge of the surrounding area and its weather patterns. The tour heads out to different places almost every night, as the weather determines where to go. After finding the ideal location, a campfire is set up, where your guide serves hot drinks, dinner, and cookies and explains everything that you need to know about the Northern Lights while photographs are also taken either before or after/while having the campfire.

    We did our excursion with George, who was fantastic. Because of his knowledge & experience we were able to find a suitable spot on a very cloudy evening & witness the magic in the sky. George was very well prepared and not only took photos of our group with the lights, but also provided us with hot drinks, hot soup, cookies and a stool to sit on around the fire. Such a fantastic experience!

    Our Northern Lights adventure with George was absolutely incredible! From the start, he went out of his way to make it special - even offering to take us a day early when the skies didn’t look promising. He skillfully guided us through breathtaking spots like Balsfjord and Signaldalen, patiently chasing clear skies until we were rewarded with mesmerizing auroras. George was set up to take beautiful photos of us and the auroras and made the most delicious soup for our journey! After cleaning up our campfire we made our way back into town. Just when we thought the night couldn’t get better, the sky lit up with the brightest display on our way back… pure magic! George’s passion, knowledge, and dedication made this an unforgettable experience. Highly recommend to anyone visiting Tromsø!

    We saw the most amazing display of aurora borealis imaginable. Even though we had really clear weather, György - our guide - took the time to drive us more toward the mainland for even clearer skies and a better experience. He was kind, cool and explained a lot about all kinds of aspects of the northern lights, he is very knowledgable. He took some amazing photos too! Unforgettable experience, it was perfect!

    Even though we cancelled George was willing to drive several hours away to Finland for a slim chance at catching a glimpse of the Northern Lights. He was honest and willing to give us a refund. If I had more days I would have booked with him again.

    George was an amazing guide who really knows the area and uses data to find the best place and time to see the aurora. He took some amazing photos and sent them to us as well. Incredible experience.
