A magical local experience! - A fantastic experience from start to finish! We were met by Stig next to the cruise terminal who took us back to the base to wrap up in warm clothing. Dia and Max met us there and were our guides for the evening. Dia was incredibly knowledgeable about the local area and explained lots of different sites as we drove past. We were very fortunate to spot the Northern lights early in our trip and they took us to a secluded spot to get some great photos. Being a small group we had the opportunity to visit a couple more locations that a coach wouldn’t have been able to see. It was an amazing experience and Max and Dia couldn’t have been more helpful with spotting the lights and helping with photos. We also enjoyed a hot chocolate around a campfire with some delicious pastries which just added to the experience. This was far better value than excursions booked through the cruise and a far more personal experience, we’d highly recommend!

It was a night we will remember for the rest of our lives!!! - Diamela, Stig and their team could not have done anymore to make our trip memorable. We travelled with Dia and her love and passion for Norway and the Northern Lights was truly special. We saw so many Auroras and they knew just where to find them. They kept us warm, yummy hot chocolate and the pastries were to die for, and a special pat with their husky. A truly special excursion.

Awesome northern lights tour - Amazing northern lights hunting with Dia. Pick up from the hotel and others straight to the office and set off after the briefing. Dia is friendly and taking good care of us. We went to 4 spots and lucky enough to see her appeared at the first spot.

Best Northern Lights Tour in Norway! - My best friend and I were in Norway for the first time and could not have chosen a better tour! Stig and Dia were absolutely fantastic tour guides and told us so much about Alta, Norway, the Sami People and the Northern Lights. Both did their best to find the perfect spot for the Northern Lights. When we saw them, we stood excited and amazed under the green sky and watched the movements of the Northern Lights. Such a special and beautiful experience that we will not forget anymore! Thanks Dia and Stig for this great tour!

Very satisfied - The tour was very great, well organized, nice clean minibus. Picking up from the ship also worked wonderfully and we had a few stops for the lights. Diamela has put a lot of effort into it. We were very satisfied and would book it again,

Awesome search for northern lights - The owners were so accommodating and knowledgeable. They provided boots and outer wear so we weren’t cold. We learned a lot about the area and their lives. Unfortunately we didn’t see any northern lights because of the clouds and snow but we drove to many different areas to look. I’d highly recommend the tour.

Wonderful Experience! - We really enjoyed the tour, they tried several different stops to make sure we had the best experience possible. It was an overcast night but they found us Northern Lights and it was beautiful. We did this as a special tour off of our cruise ship and we ended up being one of the few people who were able to see the lights on the cruise because of weather conditions. We are so glad we did it and would highly recommend it.

No Northern Lights Found - We did not find Northern Lights! Long trip into the mountains of Norway in the dark. Staff of two were very kind - sorry that they could not find the northern lights .

Great operators. - I struggled here, I would have preferred a 3.5. When you go on one of these tours there is never a guarantee you will see the lights. Nature controls that. But when you go out knowing from experience that it is highly unlikely, there should be an option for the tour operator or tourist to call it half way thru and have an agreed refund amount. Otherwise you are driving around with little hope. That said the operators were fabulous and engaging but there has to be a better ending on nights like this.
