5.00The bus ride with toilet was pleasantly warm. We were already after about 1:30h at the destination and saw incredibly beautiful northern lights. You could stand in front of the camera if you wanted to and be photographed with the Northern Lights in the background. The bus was always open so you could warm up.
Incredible evening. What.A.Light.Show. !!!

5.00Pick-up was professionally arranged and very easy. Guides and professional photographer (Gorgi and wife) were excellent and had several plans arranged. We were very lucky and plan A was all that was needed! Headed out to a beach near Brensholmen and got the most incredible show for hours. Camp fires, hot chocolate and biscuits to end with too. Magical night I'll never forget. Thank you so much and to the very safe coach driver. 100% recommend.
Again and again ☺️

5.00Booked the big bus tour last minute on the day itself, and happy to get upgraded to mini bus chase. Warm outfit & shoe was provided by the team. Guide Magdalena was super knowledgable to share us plenty of insights on Northern Lights, Sami culture, Norway! We did 3 stops for the lights & one of it were so pretty that I even got it recorded in video! Highly recommend this tour to everyone who wana experience the magic of Northern Lights!

5.00We made our tour on October 29 with our guide Nelson. We had an upgrade to the minibus, including thermal clothing and winter boots. Nelson took us one night when the Aurora Boreal was really stunning. Everything was wonderful! The tour, the group, the selected places for the observation, the fireplace so welcome in the cold night, with typical food, marshmallow and hot chocolate. Nelson is Portuguese, so there was a greater entanglement for the ease of the language, and besides he is a sympathetic, very kind to everyone, polite and knows everything about the Northern Lights! The photos were wonderful! Worth every nok!!! I'd take that walk a thousand times... Thank you for everything, Nelson!
