What To Expect
Tromso
Begin your evening tour in search of the Northern Lights with a convenient pickup from city center of Tromsø.. You'll embark on a nighttime hunt for the sometimes elusive Aurora Borealis. Although Norwegian nights are cold and it can take up to several hours to see the colorful light show, the wait is worth it. You're provided with a thermal suit, a snow-side bonfire, and hot drinks and snacks to keep warm along the way. Your 8-passenger tour vehicle takes you deep into the darkness with a small group and a professional photographer as your guide. In addition to snapping your own photos, your guide will take pictures of you under the lights and be of assistance to help with your own equipment, including provided tripods; a Canon is available for a fee. Professional photos taken during the tour are later sent to you via email or social media. After a stop for dinner, your 7-hour tour ends with hotel drop-off in Tromsø after midnight.

5.00We did both the Northern Lights tour and fjord tour with George. Both were very informative, scenic and fun! Appreciate George as a very knowledgeable and experienced guide and photographer. Thank you so much for the most awesome experience. We had almost 4-5hours of Northern lights show!!
Perfect tour with a really nice guide

5.00Our guide found a great spot for watching the northern lights, so we were able to stay there the whole time and watch them dance for a couple of hours. He was very helpful in setting up our cameras and was also a really friendly and knowledgeable guide. He regularly checked to make sure everyone was doing well, and you could tell he genuinely wanted everyone to enjoy the night. Another highlight was his delicious „homemade“ cake. ;) At the end of the tour, everyone was dropped off at their hotel or preferred location. Highly recommended!
Great experience...

5.00It was a great experience. Our guide was very friendly and tried his hardest for us to see the Auroras even though the weather wasnt on our side. Thanks to him we still managed to see some Auroras.

5.00At we set off in search for the lights Allen made it clear the odds were stacked against us seeing the lights due to weather conditions. However he made sure he kept us in the loop on all his decision making After searching for nearly 7 hours and the group had almost given up he didn’t give up. He thought he could see something a small opening in the sky and there they were. Allen was amazing he went over and above to make sure we all got to see the lights It was such an amazing experience all be it not as dramatic as we would have liked but still managed to catch a cheeky glimpse. Definitely rate this tour and worth the money The whole experience was faultless and Allen is an amazing tour guide. He really knows his stuff and was very knowledgeable. We searched for the lights in Iceland but compared to this tour it was nothing in comparison. A smaller group with a smaller vehicle definitely made it He was a very good driver too which you need in conditions like Tromso Thank you Allen for an amazing experience. Bucket list finally ticked Hina & Paul
Best tour guide.

5.00Our tour guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The night was very cloudy and basically not the best one to see northern lights but our guide went above and beyond to find us the best spot possible. Thankfully we were able to see some activity and take really nice photos.
Amazing experience

5.00George was an amazing host who did everything in his power to allow us to see the lights despite cloud coverage and snow. He drove us to multiple locations where we were often the only group and regularly checked the sky and his tracking app in order to try and allow us to see the lights. Despite a few hours of uncertainty a stroke of luck occurred and the clouds parted and the lights came out to play. Amazing experience and definitely a bucket list moment ✨️ Pick up location was easy to find and bus was modern and comfortable. Would definitely book another tour with George in the future ✨️
Magical experience

5.00Such a fantastic night seeing the most beautiful natural phenomenon. We had a small group of about 10 people, and we were super lucky due to the weather and the solar storm, and saw a truly amazing display. The bonfire was delightful, cake and tea and being under the stars was fantastic and Andrei took so many beautiful photos for us to remember the experience. I would strongly advise anyone planning to book to bare in mind that it's several hours out in the wilderness - there are not toilet facilities on site, and some of our tour seemed a bit shocked by that! Andrei did a really good job navigating everyone's needs and I was very grateful for his attention as I had some accessibility challenges.
