I did two aurora huntings and both experiences were absolutely extraordinary! The first evening was magical, we reached a stunningly beautiful location with a lake and mountains, the sky was perfectly clear, and the aurora appeared straight away growing stronger and stronger. We even had dinner under the Northern Lights, also the group was very nice. The aurora kept dancing above us for quite a long time, creating a breathtaking and unforgettable atmosphere. A huge thank you to our guides Ferenc, Pauline and Andrija, whom I was delighted to meet again on my second hunt. The second experience was exceptional in a completely different way. The weather was cloudy, snowy and windy, conditions that make aurora sightings almost impossible. But after several attempts, Ferenc, our guide again for the night, managed to find the perfect spot with clear skies, and we were lucky enough to see the aurora appear for a little while just for us. His dedication was truly remarkable. A big thank you as well to all the drivers Gro, Kjell Oddvar and Svein Hugo, who drove tirelessly, sometimes for long hours and late at night, to reach exactly the right place at the right time, where even a tiny window of clear sky could give us a chance to see the lights. And a very special thanks to Ferenc. I had him as a guide last year, and seeing him again I immediately knew the night would be great. He is incredibly experienced, extremely knowledgeable and completely committed to doing everything possible to find the best spot to see the Northern Lights. Of course, this is a natural phenomenon, nobody can control it, which makes it even more magical, but Ferenc truly goes the extra mile to give you the best possible conditions. Thank you so much, Cristina

Excellent tour with Klara, Pauline and Fenrenc which really felt like a private tour due to the numbers on the trip. Great group dynamics and it really worked out brilliantly despite us being late to the meeting point (my fault). Thanks for waiting for us. As the weather was poor in Tromso we headed towards Finland. It was raining heavily as we left but after a while, before we got to Finland, a few cloud gaps started to appear. We found a great spot and ended up staying there as within a few minutes we were watching in wonder at a superb display. It ended up a very memorable night, not just for the brilliant display but for the people on the tour.

We had an excellent adventure with our expert guides Ferenc, Andrija, Gro and Pauline. We had to wait for the clouds and snow to clear but then like magic we were rewarded with a spectacular display of the northern lights.

The tour took us to places we wouldn't have found ourselves. We were a very small group and had enough space in the luxury minibus. I have seen the Northern Lights several times, but never in this form.

It took a little patience and just as I thought the weather would never clear, the clouds go and Mother Nature appears! The guides were all lovely and you have to trust that they know what they are doing. My northern lights app was not optimistic at all, but these guides are very experienced. We went to near the Sweden boarder, parked by the side of the road, lit a fire and waited for nearly 3 hours, but it was worth the wait. The suits were super warm, the food (is rehydrated) was hot (don’t expect cordon bleu), warm drinks plentiful and the guides had a lot of knowledge to share. Amazing experience!

The staff is amazing! They do everything they can to find the lights. Our night was very low likelihood of seeing lights and we ended up seeing the best lights! They fed us an amazing dinner of reindeer stew (there were other choices, all freeze dried meals). It was a fantastic night! 10/10 recommend!!

Absolutely amazing, better than we could have imagined! It was cloudy and raining/snowing in Tromso, but Franz found us clear skies at our driver Shelty’s (sorry if I am spelling incorrectly) property! They took beautiful photos, gave us a great meal, made a fire, had hot juice or chocolate to drink. It was such an incredible experience and we are so grateful to the whole team for an absolutely incredible and unforgettable experience!!!

I must say our experience was simply fantastic!! Specifically our guide Ference and the driver ( apologies I can't remember his name) they both were awesome. Ference made the trip interesting and he was confident, knowledgeable and took us to right place at the right time to see and experience the Northern lights. Loved it thank you Ference ( Arctic Adventures) it was truly an unforgettable trip with awesome photos

We had an amazing trip and were very fortunate to see an amazing light show. Our guide Ferenc was super friendly and as a bonus took some great photos and sent to us a few days later. We had a lovely driver Stein. And the bus was clean and warm. . There could be an improvement, scrap the freeze dried meal and just have the hot chocolate and something sweet, cake or chocolate bars.

Despite poor conditions in Tromso the Northern Lights near the Swedish border seen in all glory and many colors. So everything perfect and only recommended. Were also one of the first groups at this location and only 8 participants in total. It should also be emphasized that a thermal suit and shoes are provided here. Unfortunately, despite good conditions, the food around the campfire did not take place. The other groups did it. We ate on the bus. It's too bad.
