5.00What an amazing evening chasing the aurora! 100% would recommend. Our tour guide was super knowledgeable and had so much love for the aurora that we felt she was experiencing it with us for the first time! Exceptionally cold, so would recommend hand and feet warmers alongside the rest of the kit they provide. We had a fire by a frozen lake and ate reindeer stew (very nice !) from freeze dried meal pouches. The aurora really delivered and our tour guide did a great job of keeping up with the best spots and making sure we didn’t miss a moment.
Fantastic tour from start to finish with incredible views of the northern lights!!!!

5.00This was our first time in Tromso and we really wanted to see the Northern Lights so we booked a tour with Arctic Adventure Tours. We were extremely well looked after by Klara, our friendly and knowledgeable guide, and Kjell-Oddvar, who drove us expertly through the snow-covered landscape. It was a nice group of people on the bus. Luckily we took the snowsuits and boots provided with us as it did get very cold later on (-14 degrees). We were very fortunate to see some incredible aurora shows in four different locations over a period of 6-7 hours. Klara and Kjell-Oddvar knew some great spots, especially the one down by a fjord where we had some warm food & drink around a much welcome campfire. Just to round off this fantastic experience, we also had a little visit from a reindeer on our last stop! Steph & Alex (UK)
Excellent tour!

5.00Our guide, Ferenc, and driver, Svein, were terrific. They made sure we were comfortable and prepared for the cold. We initially had clouds, but they cleared and we had a wonderful show of northern lights. Ferenc did a wonderful job of explaining the northern lights and Svein was always cheerful when I asked to be let in the van to warm up a bit (which was often). They took us to a place that had no one else there, so it felt a bit more private and special. Excellent tour!

5.00We had a magnificent tour with Ferenc and Kjell Oddvar, who drove us safely through the snow to a spot with clear skies. Ferenc went above and beyond to make this tour a special experience, and he succeeded! We also got some beautiful photos of and with the Aurora, he is indeed a very skilled photographer and a knowledgeable yet humble guide.
Unforgettable Northern Lights experience with Ferenc

5.00Our Northern Lights tour with Ferenc was an absolutely fantastic experience from start to finish. Ferenc was professional, calm, and clearly very experienced. You could tell he really understands the weather, the terrain, and how to read the conditions to maximize the chances of seeing the aurora. Thanks to his decisions, we ended up in the perfect spot with clear skies and an incredible show. Throughout the night, he kept the group informed about what was happening, what we were waiting for, and why we were moving locations, which made us feel confident and relaxed even during the long chase. He was also very attentive to everyone in the group, making sure we were warm, comfortable, and in good spirits. His friendly attitude and quiet enthusiasm made the whole experience feel special and well organized. This was not just a tour, it felt like being guided by someone who truly loves what he does and wants everyone to have the best possible experience. Highly recommended if you want a Northern Lights tour led by someone knowledgeable, patient, and genuinely dedicated. Thank you, Ferenc!

5.00This was definitely one of the best and most enjoyable activities we did in Tromsø. We spent the evening with our guide and a small group on a “clear-sky hunt” 😉 — and the patience was absolutely worth it. We were rewarded with a beautiful aurora show. Along the way, we learned about the phenomenon, got great tips on how to take photos, and enjoyed hot drinks and a warm dinner by the fireplace. Thank you so much to our guide and our driver for such a wonderful experience!
Fantastic show. Thank you Aurora

5.00Absolutely brilliant. Ferenz knew all the best places to go and we had a really good show from the Aurora
Fabulous (KP 8.4)

5.00This was my second tour for the Aurora and it was the best I could ever had. They arranged us in small groups such that smaller vehicle could go into small parking. Our guide, who was an absolute geek on photography offered us wonderful shots. The tromso-made reindeer stew was amazing, plus the campgfire. We are very lucky to have once in a lifetime Aurora show with KP index of up to 8.4 on-site. We could see red and green aurora with naked eyes dancing through the starry night. It was beyond words to describe the beauty. This was on 19/1/26 on record. I just knew this level of geomagnetic storm was a rare circumstances. Well, taking the luck out of the equation, the team was very knowledgeable and courteous. Warm suits were provided to ensure we were warm. I would rate it equally even if we didn’t encounter such massive phenomenon.
