The Northern Lights with Northbound did not disappoint. Olli and Ryan greatly enhanced the experience—the people truly make the trip. The evening was highlighted by simple pleasures: hot dogs over an open fire, shared stories, and a genuinely wonderful atmosphere. Cheers to snow angels, windows vs doors, and unions after hikes! Thank you

Oli and Ryan made us live an amazing experience. They took us to a perfect point, on the banks of the fjord, made a fire and with professional cameras generated incredible photographs and even better videos. The good vibes and effort put into it make you feel comfortable and happy. The tour doesn't end until we want to. Thanks, guys! We send you a big hug with a beautiful memory from Buenos Aires, the first Argentines to go on your tour.

トロムソは今回の旅行の最後の目的地で、3泊しました。しかし滞在中はずっと天気が悪く、曇りやみぞれが続いていたため、オーロラを見るのは難しいのではと半ば諦めかけていました。 そんな中、NorthboundのOliさんがとても親切で積極的にサポートしてくれました。午後に連絡をくださり、天候やオーロラが見られる可能性を考えてキャンセルするかどうかを確認してくれたのです。それでも、遠くまで来たこと、そしてオーロラを見ることが長年の夢だったこともあり、私たちは参加することに決めました。 結果として、その決断は大正解でした。OliさんとRyanさんは非常にプロフェッショナルで知識も豊富。オーロラについてだけでなく、晴れ間を見つけるための最適な場所や、オーロラ活動の状況についても熟知していました。 このツアーを予約する際、いくつかの会社を比較し、多くのレビューを読んでNorthboundを選びましたが、本当にこの選択に大満足しています。オーロラを実際に見ることができた体験は本当に感動的で、今回の旅行のハイライトになりました。 素晴らしい体験を提供してくれたOliさんとRyanさんに心から感謝しています。トロムソへの旅行を考えている方には、ぜひNorthboundのツアーをおすすめします。 Our stop in Tromsø was the final leg of our trip, and we stayed for three nights. Unfortunately, the weather had been heavily cloudy and slushy the entire time, and I had almost given up hope of seeing the Northern Lights. Oli from Northbound was incredibly proactive and helpful—he reached out to me in the afternoon to check whether we wanted to cancel due to the poor weather conditions and low chances of seeing the aurora. However, since traveling to see the Northern Lights had always been a dream of mine, we decided to take the chance. I’m so glad we did. Oli and Ryan were outstanding—professional, knowledgeable, and clearly very experienced. Not only did they have deep knowledge about the Northern Lights, but they also knew exactly where to go to find clear skies and maximize our chances of seeing aurora activity. Before booking, I researched several companies and read many reviews before choosing Northbound—and I couldn’t be happier with that decision. Seeing the Northern Lights was absolutely spectacular and truly the highlight of our entire trip. I am incredibly grateful to Oli and Ryan for making this such a memorable experience. If you’re considering a trip to Tromsø, I wholeheartedly recommend booking a tour with Northbound.

Oli and Ryan are amazing. The weather has been bad and they have been nonstop communicating to make sure we stay aware of the situation. They were very accommodating, and even kindly refunded us when we had to unexpectedly cancel due to my husband’s illness. 5 star service even without being able to go on the tour!

The whole experience was absolutely amazing! Seeing the Northern Lights was pure magic, totally worth it. Even if the weather doesn’t cooperate and you don’t see anything, the guides Oli and Ryan, make it all worthwhile with their passion, stories, and knowledge. It’s a unique adventure full of great energy and unforgettable moments. I’d recommend it 100%! “It was all about the hats!”

This is a personable, professional, enjoyable experience with great results! Ollie and Ryan did everything they can to make the experience, memorable and bucket worthy. The van is intimate with stories being shared, and the group was small and we were provided so many comforts – thermal suits, a nice fire with hot beverages and even Norwegian hotdog, and the bonus was portraits and time lapse of our adventure. Really every penny so much so that we did it twice, each night being different and just as great!

I'm joining with four friends. Tromsø, I honestly gave up watching it because of the horrible weather, but after a 3 hour drive we were taken to a point where we could see it well! The whole organisation was really good and the people were soo nice and they try their best to give you unforgettable moments... It was beyond words! The two guides were the best, and I enjoyed it and felt it was a quick time along the way. I feel like I'm not guiding for money, I'm guiding because I really want people to be happy. I was able to take time to visit the site, and I had commemorative photos and time love squares taken to commemorate my life. There were more reasonable tours, but I really wanted to see the Northern Lights so I decided to go on this one, which actively looks for them! You were right. Thank you from the bottom of my heart, it's inspiring and inspiring! If you get the chance to go again, please!

When it’s a cloudy, overcast day with less than ideal environmental conditions, the experience and knowledge of your guides is paramount. Oli and Ryan’s passion and skills really came through, and we enjoyed an epic night where Mother Nature ended up going all out and really showed off! There wasn’t another soul in sight, the stories and information were entertaining and enlightening, their photography skills are Uh-mazing (!!) and the food and company around the camp fire was fab. We chose Northbound because: 1) of the very small group size, 2) they were licensed and insured, 3) they were serious photographers and 4) seemed passionate and knowledgeable about light hunting. Well, they did not disappoint! Highly suggest you book early :) Ps. Oli, you make a better door than a window ;)r

I had an amazing experience with Northbound on their Northern Lights tour. It was truly a once-in-a-lifetime adventure. Oli was friendly and well-prepared, taking care of every detail from equipment and warm clothing to food. He made sure we were comfortable throughout the journey, brought us to carefully selected locations that offered the best possible views of the aurora, and gave us a safe ride back to the hotel after the tour. He shared fascinating insights about the Northern Lights and clearly knew where and when to go, which made all the difference. Thanks to his expertise, we were fortunate enough to witness incredibly beautiful aurora. Ryan did an excellent job with photography, capturing stunning photos of the Northern Lights along with impressive time-lapse videos. These photos and videos are something I will treasure forever and made the whole experience even more special. Overall, this tour with Northbound exceeded my expectations. It was not only well-organized but also filled with unforgettable moments. I would highly recommend it to anyone looking to experience the magic of the Northern Lights.

We used Northbound on a previous trip to Tromso and had an amazing experience even though the lights were ok to average that night. As Northbound were such a good tour company we have rebooked twice since. Again a big thank you to Oli and Ryan for such a great night out watching an amazing Aurora light show near Finland. They are so in tuned with aurora behaviour they predicted perfectly what would happen over the night. We wouldn’t go aurora hunting with anyone else. Well done fellas.
