Fantastic Aurora - Thank you! - It was cloudy in Tromso, so we headed south and had a wonderful but very cold evening! The trip was exactly as described and Kat was a great guide. Our group got very lucky, as the Aurora joined us, as soon as we arrived. Very grateful to have seen such a beautiful display.

See the Northern Lights with Green Adventure! - Kat gave an amazing Northern Lights tour. We drove south for 1 hour 20 minutes because it had become cloudy in Tromsø and the north. As soon as as we got out of the van the spectacular show started and didn’t stop all night. Kat gave terrific info on the lights and answered all questions in detail in addition to taking and providing beautiful pictures, building a great campfire and providing reindeer stew or a vegetarian option, hot chocolate, and roasted marshmallows.
What really made me realize how lucky I was to do this tour with Green Adventures and with Kat leading, was when I did another Northern Lights tour in another part of Norway and the guide did not provide the details of the lights or have the skill at finding them that Kat did. Highly recommend Green Adventures and Kat for your Northern Lights quest.

Finally saw the Northern Lights... Yeh! - The tour was easy to book and find. I liked the guide, the driver was excellent and bus warm and comfortable. We drove 2 hours north of Tromso to find clear skies. We had 2 really good displays of northern lights. Our guide was a professional photographer and the photos were included in the cost. We had soup and marshmallows by a small fire out in the cold but not in the wind. A most enjoyable experience. Cannot recommend highly enough.

Aurora of the year! - I took this tour with my friend. We chose this company based on great reviews, and The Green Adventure did not disappoint. We had one of the most memorable nights of our life. The tour started by being picked up in a minivan and meeting our guide and driver at 7pm. After about a 1 hour drive, our guides picked out the perfect spot to search for the Aurora. We were based on a small beach near a fjord where we were able to spot the Aurora actively for several hours. The tour operator supplied arctic jumpsuits, small chairs, and a fire. We drank hot chocolate (tea), ate cinnamon buns, tried a dehydrated camping stew for dinner, and roasted marshmallows. We had a terrific experience. I recommend hot-hand hand-warmers, which were a lifesaver. Also a tip is to bring gloves with tech touch if you are taking photos with a cell phone. Our guide was an excellent photographer, and we received many professional pictures the next day. We saw the aurora dancing and it was magical! I cannot remember the exact time we were dropped off at our hotels, but I imagine it was around midnight. Thank you Green Adventure! The photos included in this review were taken with my iphone.

Tromso aurora - Very well organised. Guide had nice stories to tell about Norway. And more important we had clear sky to allow brilliant auroras to be seen. Guide was also very helpful with photo instructions. So all in all we had an excellent experience and a lasting memory.

Northern Lights Can’t Miss Tour! - We had the most magnificent evening with Antonio, our guide, watching the northern lights! Antonio emailed us day of to let us know we had a later pickup because the weather was going to be good & we wouldn’t have to drive far away to see the lights. Once he picked us up, he took us to a spot where we were away from anyone else - truly remote & incredible views! We got so lucky with the weather and Aurora Borealis put on quite a show. Antonio set up his camera and took amazing family photos that we received promptly a couple days later! We set up a campfire & had hot soup and hot chocolate as well. One of the coolest experiences ever - can’t recommend enough!

Aurora in the moonlight - Antonio our guide found a beautiful quiet location with a patch of clear sky to make base waiting for an Aurora show. Safe driver & guide that knew the area well to give us the best chance. Hot drinks, food, snacks & a toasty fire pit made the evening very special!

Excellent Experience - The two most memorable things about this trip were seeing the northern lights and the cold. We drove out of Tromsø about an hour and a half to the north where the skies were clear. A lovely journey with the full moon and the fading twilight. Our guide and driver found a spot out of the wind, lit a small fire and provided hot soup and marshmallows for toasting. We saw 2 wonderful displays of northern lights each lasting 10-15 minutes. The guide made sure we all had our photos taken with good professional shots. We were back in town by 1 pm. A really good night.
