5.00We had a great experience led by Julien of Green Adventures. Despite the cloudy, rainy weather in Tromso, Julien remained determined and optimistic about seeing the lights. Even though most of the groups gave up and returned to Tromso, Julien never gave up. And that paid off big time. We ultimately had a spectacular light “show” including dancing lights, which were magical. To make the experience even better, Julien is an outstanding photographer. And we left the trip not only with great memories but also - thanks to Julien - beautiful pictures to remember this glorious experience. expertise we ended in Finland Julie remained enthusiast and optimistic and t

5.00Northern lights with guide Julien and driver Davide It was amazing -I first looked at going with larger tour company and sooooo glad we went with these guys. It was fun, easy and authentic. We learnt loads about northern lights and if you are on smaller tour you get opportunity to go to places larger buses can’t. This means more probability for lights. Tromso one of best places in world for this. We drove to most northern part of Norway and had beautiful clear lights after poor forecast. Really brilliant and Juliene so enthusiastic and felt safe with Davide driving. Food was yummy and was one of best experiences ever. We will come back and go again! Kaz james and Evie

3.00We had tried the Big Bus before and decided to pay premium for this trip thinking it’s more exclusive, but we were hugely disappointed. The tour guide was talking all the way to the driver about personal stuff, the radio wa loud and the tyres squeaky. All the noise in the cabin made other passengers think it was ok for them to talk loudly as well. The tour guide never asked about toilet breaks. We enjoyed the big bus journey way more and would suggest you take that if you want more comfort and they have toilets onboard which this tour doesn’t. Also we got way less pictures than the big bus. Thought we could get more pictures since it was a smaller group. On my plus side was we got to see really beautiful lights (but noting to do with the tour).
Julien is really...

5.00An incredible experience during this aurora hunt! Our guide Julien and our driver Eliott were simply great: friendly, passionate and always good advice. Their organization was impeccable, and thanks to them we had the chance to admire absolutely sublime auroras. A professional and really nice team. I highly recommend Julien and Eliott for an unforgettable experience in Tromsø!

Truly Amazing Northern Lights Chase! Five Stars for The Green Adventure & Guide Antonio!

5.00Our experience with The Green Adventure and our incredible guide, Antonio, was everything we dreamed of and more. We booked a dedicated Northern Lights mini bus hunt, and that is exactly what we got! Antonio's commitment to ensuring we saw the Aurora was unparalleled. He was constantly monitoring real-time weather and solar activity, demonstrating genuine expertise and determination. We were driven further out to the prime location, showcasing the flexibility and dedication we paid for. The effort Antonio and our driver David put in - driving the necessary distance and choosing the perfect spot, made all the difference. We managed to see the most breathtaking views of the Northern Lights! This experience was the main highlight of our trip to Tromso, and it was made possible entirely by Antonio's hard work, excellent planning, and willingness to do "the impossible" to find the lights. If you are coming to Tromso hoping for an unforgettable encounter with the Aurora, we wholeheartedly recommend The Green Adventure. Ask for Antonio- he is great ! We are so grateful for the professional service and the incredible memory he helped us create.
The most incredible experience

5.00I was a little dubious as to whether we would see the Aurora, the weather had changed as we arrived in Tromsø, but what a great night we had. My friends & I all agreed that Julien, our guide & the minibus driver, went above & beyond to ensure we had the best experience possible. Julien’s enthusiasm & knowledge was contagious & despite a bitterly cold night & long drive out & back we had great sightings & an unforgettable experience. We were taken away from other groups of buses to a quieter location to enjoy this natural phenomenon with just our group of 15, which was so appreciated. I would thoroughly recommend & we plan to return & would definitely book again with Green Adventures. I also really appreciated the recommendations for other things to do & see around the area, which were not a sales pitch but genuine recommendations for walks, places to visit that we could do for free to get the most out of our trip. Perfect. 👌
An amazing experience

5.00Just back from 4 days in Tromso and the highlight had to be our Northern Lights hunt with Julian . From start to finish he was so enthusiastic. There were 10 in our group and he went above and beyond for us to make sure we had the best experience. The weather wasn’t on our side that night , very cloudy in and around Tromso so we ventured further afield . Julian was constantly checking his apps and getting in and out of our mini bus to see if there was any activity . The first spot we found , he decided , wasn’t good enough , so after 10-15 mins of watching the lights , he had us all back on the bus to continue our search towards the Finnish border . We ended up in the middle of nowhere , complete darkness but clear skies and we were treated to a spectacular show and Julian helped us all get the best pictures. He also took some himself which he sent the following day by email. We had super warm snowsuits , a campfire , food and hot chocolate whilst listening to him tell us about the lights and stars . He made sure we were safe at all times and even made a pathway through the snow so the ladies could go and have privacy if we needed the loo - ladies be warned , if you’re not prepared to pee in the snow you will need a v strong bladder as this trip is around 8-9 hours long . On our return , he made sure we were all dropped as close to our different accommodations as he could . Unfortunately, i don’t know the drivers name, but he was also super friendly, helpful and a brilliant driver . I would absolutely rate this company if you’re looking for something more personal than a coach full of people . Worth every penny and I would definitely use them again .
