What To Expect
Tromso
This is a private tour picking you up at your hotel/Airbnb/cruise ship in Tromsø. We first go through the evening to plan and throw in some personal wishes and ideas. The tour itself starts in Tromsø, one of the best places to see the northern lights situated directly under the northern light’s oval. Our main part of the tour will be spent outside Tromsø. My favorite spots are all located by the sea, a sea that never freezes in the north of Norway due to the Golf current. The seawater is warmer than the air most of the winter, and there are people crazy enough to go for a swim. If the weather is cloudy along the coast, we head for the inland and the mountains. The big advantage in Tromsø is that we have plenty of locations to choose from, and roads leading in all directions. We will go to wherever is safest and most likely for guests to see the Northern Lights – sometimes that is 30 min outside the city, and on other days all the way to the border with Finland.

An Unforgettable Northern Lights Experience with Reidar!

5.00This was my first Northern Lights experience, and thanks to Reidar, it was absolutely magical! He is truly a five-star guide—so knowledgeable, calm, and composed. We drove nearly two hours to find the perfect dark sky, and the whole time Reidar kept us informed and relaxed. When we finally saw the Aurora, he explained the difference in colors and the science behind them. It was a fascinating lesson! He went above and beyond by preparing a cozy bonfire and serving delicious hot juice and food for everyone. This was such a lovely, personal touch. Reidar is genuinely helpful and made the long drive worth every minute. Highly, highly recommend booking with him!

5.00Reidar was an amazing guide. He is very professional, well informed, and thoughtful. We cannot recommend him highly enough. His communication prior to the trip was brilliant, and despite not seeing the Northern Lights (they weren't showing up that night!) we had a wonderful time. We learnt so much about Tromso, and enjoyed meeting a lot of huskies! Thanks so much Reidar. Sue and Richard
Thank you Reidar

5.00Reidar made our trip to Tromsø invaluable. We saw more than our share of incredible Northern Lights, on multiple nights and each time in amazing locations, all thanks to him. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable and kind. He was also very dedicated to providing the best experience to his guests. Altogether, we couldn't recommend Reidar enough as a guide and would most definitely reach back to him, were we to ever visit this beautiful part of the world again.

5.00We travelled as two families with four small(ish) children. Reidar took it all in his stride. We all had so much fun! The whole evening was very well organised, and he also made sure we had every opportunity to input into his planning process. The campfire, hotdogs, smores and hot chocolate went down well. But the children in particular had so much fun with the sled. Then just as the kids were getting tired of playing in the snow, the Northern Lights came right on cue. (Great planning my friend!) If you are after an unforgettable time in Tromsø, you are in safe hands with Reidar. Thank you once again, and we wish you a wonderful Christmas.
Incredible tour with a kind host

5.00Although we weren’t lucky enough to see any northern lights, we had a magical evening sitting by the fire overlooking a beautiful fjord earlier this year. Reidar was very kind, thoughtful, and an all around excellent host / conversation partner. Would recommend this tour regardless of if you can see the lights, we do not regret it! He is a great photographer and captured the moment beautifully.
