A unique experience 🤩 - For anyone who would like to go snowmobiling for aurora borealis hunting, we were totally thrilled. Unfortunately, we did not see any aurora borealis as it snowed extremely. The guides were also great 👍

Great Snowmobile experience. - We did the late night excursion in the hope of seeing the Northern Lights. Unfortunately it was overcast, so we only saw a glimmer. However that didn't detract from the trip which was great fun. The guides were friendly and helpful, and we had a great time.

fun driving the snowmobile - The experience was great. The guide was super nice and made it fun. sadly we only seen a tiny bit of the northern lights, but driving the snowmobile was a lot of fun. It was super easy to learn and to manoeuvre. Very thorough security briefing as well.

Great fun in blizzard conditions - We had blizzard conditions so no northern lights, but still had a great time. They supply really warm suits and driving the snowmobiling was great fun. We stopped for photos and at points of interest. Can now say we experienced proper Norway winter weather.

It was really "once in a lifetime" - We did whale watching with the agency, the Snowmobile Tour, Husky Sleigh Ride and the Northern Lights Tour during the day and were totally enthusiastic about everything. Super guides, great and very sympathetic team!

Amazing family adventure! - We had a great time in this tour! The nature is simply breathtaking, and riding snowmobiles is so much fun (even if you don’t see much lights). More importantly, our guide John was an excellent tour guide. Not only did he explain things well to us and looked after us throughout the activity, he also made the trip so much fun! My 10 yr old son sat behind him on the snowmobile and had such a blast!

Well worth the money. - Not a cheap experience but well worth it. Also far cheaper than the one organised by our tour operator. We were picked up from the cruise terminal by our lovely guide John and taken out into the middle of nowhere. Had it not been so cloudy we’d have had perfect conditions for the northern lights. We were kitted out in the correct gear; mittens, balaclava, socks, helmet, boots and suit before having a safety briefing about the snowmobiles. We were taken out along a pre determined path through the forest with a couple of stops to hear more about the northern lights. Roger was so knowledgeable and along with John they looked after all of us brilliantly (sorting out the snowmobile when I managed to get it stuck in deep snow!). You then get the chance to swap drivers (as long as you both have a valid driving licence). After whizzing through the forest you go back to the lodge for a hot drink and a snack before being taken back to your pick up point. Overall this was a superb trip - just wish I’d got the hang of it sooner!!

Ride super Northern Lights search rather not - The ride was really great but I wouldn't call it a search for aurora borealis. A quick stop, no northern lights to see and then back. But the fun with the snowmobile was great.
