Rely on the extensive experience, local expertise, and exceptional photography of The Green Adventure Team. On the evening of the tour, guests will be picked up in front of Scandic Ishavshotel and embark on a comfortable journey in our minibus.

The team always collaborates, staying in contact with other Aurora hunters to maximize the chances of success.
Once the ideal spot under clear skies is found, preparations for the spectacle will begin. A bonfire will be set up, offering the perfect opportunity to warm up with a hot drink and roast some delicious marshmallows. During this time, fascinating stories from the north and legends about Lady Aurora will be shared. Guests will also have the chance to taste “made in Tromso” soup, specially crafted for Arctic expeditions. After the tour, photos taken by the expedition leader will be provided to the guests.

Driving to Finland to see the lights! - First off David is an excellent driver, he drove effortlessly through the heavy snowy conditions. And Antonio is a kind and helpful guide, he kept us optimistic all night about seeing the auroras.
The meeting site is disorganized. A lot of other tours meet at the same spot at the same time. So make sure you get there on time to find out which bus you need to get on. Luckily Antonio had a sign saying “The Green Adventure”.
We made one bathroom stop going to the site and another stop on the way back.
We went all the way to the border of Finland to see the auroras. It was magical! We were lucky to have seen a strong showing. We were able to stay for 3 hours watching the auroras. Antonio took lots of photos of us and the group, he said he would share the photos within 3 days. It was a long trip but completely worth it. We didn’t get back till about 3am.

Highly recommended! - The driver & tour guide put a lot of effort into finding a clear sky, which they managed to do. They extended the tour as the conditions improved significantly towards night. Professional souvenir photos (portraits/group photos with northern lights) were taken. The thermosuits keep you warm.

Great experience - Actually being able to see the aurora made this trip complete. But even if we wouldn’t be able to see anything it would still be a successful trip. Big mention to our driver Dawid who took us all the way to Finland over snow covered roads. He is a very safe driver. Our guide was Lukas and he was excellent. Very entertaining and he gave us lots of aurora facts and tips to make future trips a success. Sitting around the campfire was fun. Didn't feel cold at all. A great night!

A dream came true. - On November 3rd I went with Lukas and Dawid to Finland to try to see Lady Aurora. It was a long drive but at one point we just had to pull over because Lukas couldn't stand it anymore. The auroras were so beautiful and so strong that we had to stop NOW. Dawid found a spot and Lukas couldn't wait to grab his camera to take pictures. In addition to a lot of green, there was also a more rare red aurora to be seen. Even with the naked eye. The colors splashed off the screen of the camera. In front of you, above you, behind you. Curtains, stripes, crowns and flames of aurora could be seen everywhere. Lukas took beautiful pictures of all the guests and you could keep taking pictures yourself. You really didn't know where to look. It also took a long time and I felt like I was staring at the sky for hours in amazement and wonder. And in the meantime taking one beautiful picture after another. At one point the aurora got a bit weaker and a campfire was made. We got soup and hot chocolate and could roast marshmallows in the fire. It was a beautiful place somewhere on a Finnish plateau. It was minus 12 but that didn't matter. In any case I saw the most beautiful, magnificent and powerful aurora of my life and I will never forget this night.

really great - Northern Lights - my last big dream at the age of 70!
The day of the tour seemed hopeless at first - the sky was overcast, it was raining and the weather app promised continuous cloud cover. Nevertheless, we boarded a VW bus driven by our guide ‘J.J.’. Despite the rain, the atmosphere on the bus was very good. We three Germans were joined by four Taiwanese and one Bolivian. The Bolivian had already done a similar tour the day before and had seen beautiful northern lights. Our guide J.J. wasn't bothered by the weather and drove kilometre after kilometre until we even crossed the border into Finland - and he kept looking up at the sky to spot stars - where there are stars, there is a good chance of seeing the Northern Lights. Once we crossed the Finnish border, the clouds cleared and we saw the first Northern Lights. On our return journey, J.J. suddenly spotted a clear section of sky and pulled over to the side. And we were able to see a marvellous spectacle of northern lights. The clear section lasted for an hour and J.J. prepared a campfire and served reindeer soup and hot chocolate. In between, we took photos of the spectacle above us. J.J. was an experienced photographer and used his professional equipment to take pictures of us and the campfire in front of the marvellous Northern Lights. We then drove back to Tromso and arrived back there at 3.00 am in the night, filled with happiness.
J.J. fulfilled my last big dream and took some wonderful souvenir photos, which I have gladly downloaded in high resolution. Once again, many thanks to J.J. for the unforgettable experience - also from my German companions (and certainly from the others on our tour)!

Best guide, best night, so grateful - Antonio was a wonderful, positive, energetic, helpful and creative guide. He took us to a beautiful place to get the best chance to see the northern lights, away from the cloudy Tromso skies. We had a stunning star filled sky and a magical Aurora show. Time didn't seem to matter to him and we only wrapped up for the long drive back when everyone in the group was ready. Amazing evening. Thanks so much Antonio and thanks too to our very skilled and accommodating driver!

A successful hunt. - The Green Adventure was dedicated to its mission of giving us the best opportunity to experience the Auroras. We had challenging weather and still managed an amazing Aurora sighting. I would book with this tour again.

Good food and good company - Our guide was Kat. Out of the 3 aurora hunts we booked, she had the best sense of humor and was super easy to talk to. Unfortunately, we were not able to see lights because of the cloud coverage that night. Kat tried 4 different locations and was in continuous contact with other guides. That night, none of the guides Kat was in contact with were able to see the lights either. Regardless, Kat made a lovely campfire for us at our 2nd stop and gave us plenty of info regarding Norwegian cuisine. Even though we didn’t get to see the lights, I’d recommend this tour.
