5.00Thank you for a fantastic Northern Lights experience. Julian our guide told us so much about the Northern Lights that we didn't know before. Great service so again a big thank you. Merit and Björn Israelsson
Very well organised trip from start to finish. The briefing before we went out to meet the dogs was practical.

5th time is the charm

5.00This is a small group tour, about 15 people in the minibus plus driver Martin and guide Jessica. Jessica was great, explaining in detail how northern lights are created and the tools she uses to track these for the tour. We drove between 1-2 hours outside of Tromsoe away from the city lights to get clear skies and then wait for the magic to happen. Ultimately she chose a location by a lake to set up the campfire and waited for the lights to appear. We had hot drinks, a hot meal of rehydrated but delicious camping meal, and roasting marshmallows over the campfire. The aurora came on slow at first, but eventually we were wowed by a series of fantastic shows. Of course to the naked eye the northern lights looked really bland, the nearly full moon didn't help in cutting down light pollution. But through Jessica's camera, the lights looked amazing. This is my 5th journey to northern Europe in winter, 3rd time above the Arctic Circle, hoping to see the northern lights. And thanks to Jessica's expertise, the 5th time is the charm. One night on this Green Adventure tour has made my trip to Tromso/Sommaroy well worth it. It might cost a little more than other northen lights tours, but the small group, Jessica's enthusiasm and expertise made it well worth it.

5.00What an unforgettable experience! Eight of us were driven to a beautiful spot in the mountains surrounding a fiord. It was a beautifully clear night with dark starry sky & bright moonlight casting wonderful reflections across the water. JJ our guide was really interesting on the whole subject of the lights & was super helpful with photography & very was generally very engaging company, taking great trouble to ensure our evening was the best it could be. The lights emerged & were glorious & mesmerising as they danced across the vast sky in waves of vivid colour & growing intensity. We were alone with this repeating display in the great silence all around us. JJ made a fire & we sat around it drinking Reindeer soup, roasting marshmallows & enjoying hot chocolate. So welcome & very delicious! It was a marvellous trip which we would highly recommend. The photos JJ forwarded to us afterwards are fabulous too. A great company!!

5.00I was stuck on how to choose a northern lights tour but this was honestly the BEST. Julien was the guide and the perfect mix of information about the lights, the science behind them, explaining how to track them by yourself for other nights, tips for Tromso and all whilst taking pictures. He found a great spot away from the big buses and bright groups of people. He also offered to help set up your phone camera settings to capture the lights
Absolutely brilliant!

5.00Absolutely brilliant! JJ, our guide, was so friendly, knowledgeable & helpful, especially with tips on photography. There were only 8 of us on the tour which made it more personal. JJ took us to a couple of fab locations, with water & mountains to make our photos more special. We were so lucky with the Northern Lights - an unforgettable display lasting well over an hour. Then soup, hot chocolate & marshmallows roasted on an open fire. I’d highly recommend this experience.
