“Our guide Brynjar was incredibly experienced and genuinely cared about the group’s experience. I thought I had no chance of seeing the lights due to poor weather but I didn’t want to leave Tromso without trying. Brynjar did everything he could to see if we could catch a glimpse of the lights and we did.

Nighttime reindeer sledding, a Sami camp dinner of bidos, and a real shot at the Northern Lights from Tromsø.
“Brilliant experience. Our favourite bits were feeding the reindeer with the snow falling and the talk by the Sami people. Lovely to learn more about them and the culture. the meal was salmon salad, reindeer or tomato and veg stew and choc cake to finish. Unlimited hot drinks, water and cookies. Unfortunately the snow meant cloud and no Northwen Lights, but still worth it.”

Tromsø fjord catamaran cruise with hybrid-silent sailing, wildlife spotting, a fish-farm stop, and an underwater drone over the kelp forest.
“For someone who doesn't do well on boats this was a smooth ride on a nice boat. Fully booked cruise but doesn't feel too crowded. Fred was a great commentator giving tidbit on the on goings around the fjord with humour. Really enjoyed it. And very informative. Scenery around the fjords was of course breathtaking with a nice short stop to see a fish museum and learn about fish racks. Only negative was probably an ok bottomless coffee. Had one but didn't bother with refills. Not a big deal!”

“We had an unforgettable experience on the Northern Lights tour! Mag, our guide, was knowledgeable, friendly, and determined to find the best viewing spots no matter what. He provided warm gear if necessary, warm chocolate and ginger cookies, and useful photography tips to capture the aurora perfectly. He also took amazing photos of us using his professional camera, which was a fantastic bonus. Seeing the lights dance across the sky was absolutely magical—truly a once-in-a-lifetime moment.
