We will take you to the areas with the best viewing potential for the night, away from city light pollution, even to Finland if necessary.
Enjoy a campfire with marshmallows and cup of hot chocolate in the wilderness, while our expedition leader will tell you some interesting stories from the north and legends about lady Aurora. Also you will have a chance to try "made in Tromso" soup, tailored for arctic expeditions, which will keep you warm from the inside. You will get also thermal suit to survive in cold temperatures.
After the tour, you'll receive photos taken by our expedition leader, capturing the highlights of your adventure and your portraits with Aurora, but of course, we can also help you with your camera/smartphone settings.

5.00The guide JJ was friendly, helpful and patient. Helping each one put on their warm Suit! 8 of us in the van, he is a good driver taking us to Finland n back safely on icy road n at times mesmerizing snow fall hitting the windscreen. He knows his stuff, managed to park at a spot to sight the Aurora which came a few times for us and he said we should be able to sight the Aurora too n after a while he was right. The elusive lady came and went quickly a few times but we are happy with the sightings n the starry night. He briefed us on what made the Aurora etc. overall an enjoyable long night. Thanks to a fun small group of people too.
Good experience despite the clouds

4.00I had a great experience with this company. Our guide JJ was incredibly kind, professional, and clearly passionate about his work. The equipment provided was good, and the transportation was comfortable and well-organized. Despite the sky being almost completely covered that night, our guide’s expertise and determination allowed us to catch a brief of aurora.
Incredible experience

5.00Absolutely a once in a lifetime experience! We were out for hours watching the lights dance. Our guide, Julian, was so knowledgeable and friendly and always trying to get us the best photos. The atmosphere around the campfire with dinner and marshmallows can’t be beat! Strongly recommend
Great experience!

4.00The driver Elliott and Guide Jessica were great. Very helpful and knowledgeable. We did see lights with our naked eye. I thought the trip was just too long. We left at 6:15 and got back at 3:30AM. Maybe cut out the hot tea and coco since you don't stop for restrooms until 6 hours into the trip. The plan is to get to the lake, maybe skip the short stops to speed things up. We were given thermal suits which were awesome and we saw two separate groups of reindeer on our ride back.
A+ for Effort!

4.00Even for the usual Northern Lights tours, this was an excessively long tour. I highly commend the guide, Julien's, determination and passion for ensuring we all saw the the Northern Lights, but this was a nearly 12 hour trip (not returning until 4 in the morning. The sightings were mediocre, but not for lack of trying or experience. I lost track of all the places we stopped so they could try to ensure that we got good Lights sightings, but the weather was just against us that night. Julien is also an excellent photographer, and really helped me with my night photography. I think on a night with better weather, this would be a fine operator.
AMAZING…..

5.00Julian our guide for the whole tour was brilliant. As many photos taken by him as you want. He chased the lights for us and knew exactly where to wait and what lights were due. The campfire was set up and all of the group ate soup and had marshmallows together. We all talked about our home countries. The photos came back the next day which was really quick and they were so professional. It’s a long trip from 6pm until 1am but completely worth it. Good value for money too. The mini bus was comfortable and clean. I would highly recommend the Green Adventure.
We saw nothing, but the service was up there anyway

5.00Ok, need to start saying that we saw nothing, doesn't matter if October is one of the best months to see it, if you have a clear sky to see it, if the sun decides not to be active that evening, no aurora for you, but we need to separate this from the actual tour service. People need to be clear about this, as (in our case) the tour staff did their best, keep us fed and entertained, but nobody have control over nature. The staff was very nice, fun and accommodating
Excellent Tour
