It is really Chasing :-) - George did a Great Job. Comfort Mini Van with 7 People. Great to be off Traffic. Great to be off the huge Tour Busses. Great Fire Place and well prepared Lentile Soup in Hot Jarrs… on a Small Plateau overlooking the Valley. George had all Satellite, Ionization, Wheather Apps and Softwares… and connected with friends to find the Spots in the sky. But finally you have to be Lucky… and we wäre

Magnificent - The lights were beautiful and the guide very knowledgeable. I would recommand it a thousand times. It's possible that the lights aren't there, though. But it would nothing to do with the provider. Just nature.

Amazing! - An amazing excursion!! George was perfect from start to finish. He is very kind, he explained a lot about the aurora and took us to the perfect place! We had the chance to see them all evening it was magical. There are combinations for those who would be cold during the wait, tea/coffee/hot chocolate and a dinner served with soup. Not to mention that he can take pictures of you if you want (they are beautiful!!) and he even helped me set my camera, he also lends tripods if you need them. Everything was really perfect I can only recommend 100% Boreal Quest, go ahead with your eyes closed!

Absolutely perfect! - George, the guide, was highly knowledgeable and drove us to the most wonderful spot. He also made everything possible for us to see the northern lights (he rescheduled us twice as the weather forecast was bad). He explained the myths and the science behind the northern lights. He showed us the different apps he uses to track the northern lights. He set up a fire, we had a warm meal and all this time, the Auroras were dancing above us! We spent the most perfect and magical evening.

10/10 must book - George was the most amazing and dedicated guide. If you want the best chance to see the northern lights, please book with him. He was so knowledgeable about the aurora borealis and other things in Norway. 🇳🇴 he took some breathtaking photos of us and the northern lights too! Absolute pleasure, I would definitely take a tour with him again!

Recommended 100% - George is an excellent guide. Very attentive and friendly had everything perfectly prepared for us to spend an excellent night. From the previous contact by wapp it was all great. The forecast was unaccompanied and yet he found a clear place where we could not only see auroras but an incredible sky. When we were back in the van we were lucky enough to witness a great activity with fast movements that was amazing. Among so many alternatives, I recommend George and Boreal Quest without a doubt

A wonderful night chasing the Northern Lights - We went for the 31 Oct tour and had the most wonderful experience. If I can surmise what is considered a great Northern Lights experience, it will be down to luck (cloudless sky, sufficient solar activity, etc) and skills of the guide. This review will be on the latter, something which as tourists we can 'control' by opting for a good guide. George was decisive, attentive and knowledgable. (i) Decisive - an early set-off to give our a group a slight head start, an initial stop to take photos at the first opportunity as admittedly no one one can predict if it will be a good night to chase the lights. (ii) Attentive - constant check-in to see if the tour group members are ok. He helped tweak the settings of my camera amidst taking portrait photos of the tour group. The campfire, warm soup and drinks were all greatly welcome given the cold weather. (iii) Knowledgable - the information he shared were interesting and insightful. One can tell a person who is passionate about what he does, and George is definitely one of those. My wife and I had a great time and we would like thank George for it. Definitely the highlight of 2024 :)

Book with Boreal Quest for the best experience - Highly recommend this experience with the amazing guide, George! His knowledge and expertise ensured we visited the best locations for unforgettable sightings, resulting in incredible memories and stunning photos. Despite the unpredictable weather during our time in Tromsø, George went above and beyond. He monitored the weather patterns closely and even reached out to me beforehand with helpful advice to make the most of the experience.

Excellent aurora tour - George did an awesome job on a difficult night. He has an eye for finding open cloud places and got a great spot where we could see the milky way and an aurora. The size of the group is great, so you don't end with a full crowd walking around your pictures, and it makes for a cozy feeling. Even more when he pulls out some chairs and lits a small fire for a hot home made soup and cookies. He gives great advice on how to make pictures with your camera, and sends some of his pictures so there is nothing else to do than enjoy if you're not into photography. And those pictures are awesome. If you wonder why the tour leaves 1h earlier than the others : no one at the bathroom break and first seat on the best spots. All in all a perfect evening, I highly recommend this tour.

An amazing night of chasing the Aurora! - Highly recommend this very special aurora-chasing experience with Boreal Quest. Small group, a comfortable van, and most importantly a very experienced, friendly, and knowledgeable tour leader. George was so patient in helping us to set up our cameras to take the best shots of the aurora. We were rewarded with the most majestic aurora explosion you could imagine! Unbelievable display!! The attention to detail for taking care of the tour group was unmatched. Hot chocolate and homemade soup around a campfire, with George sharing his extensive knowledge of the legends of aurora as well as the science. Drop off to your hotel if on Tromso Island at the end of the tour. What an unforgettable night!
