OH MY GOODNESS! A MUST DO! - We cannot recommend this tour enough! Forget the big companies, this small (15) people tour was INCREDIBLE! Margot (our guide) & Martina (driver) were exceptional! From the meeting point, we were given lovely warm suits & boots if needed, which I would recommend as it gets quite cold standing still looking up for those elusive lights once stopped & off the bus. Margot & her huge team of light hunters all work together to find the best places for us to stop & stare in wonder. We were lucky enough to stop next to a fjord with large mountains in the background & boy, did those lights dance! Margot helped those who needed it with their cameras whilst Martina set up the fire, dinner, hot drinks & toilet! We had delicious hot dogs cooked over an open fire, marshmallows, chocolate & iced donuts! All the while looking up at the stunning Northern lights dancing above us! Both girls love their job & no question went unanswered! THIS is what we travelled halfway around the world for! Margo also worked tirelessly all the way back to our various drop off points emailing her stunning photos of our AMAZING evening! Thank you!!!!

This is the tour you want! We had an incredible time! - This was a bucket list experience for my wife and I. We went out with Henrikke and she quickly got us outfitted with arctic gear and onto one of the fancy tour coaches. The vehicle was much more comfortable than a simple van we had expected and it was fitted with a sky cam which was so much fun to view as we drove to Finland. Once we arrived, Henrikke and the staff got our fire setup and fed us delicious sausages, Norwegian chocolate, donuts, smores, and hot chocolate. She took such good care of us and made everyone feel very welcome while sharing interesting tidbits concerning Norway and the Northern Lights. Once the lights arrived we were treated to an incredible show and we got some great photos taken of us. Can't recommend this outfit enough!

Absolutely Breathtaking! - We’ve been on Northern Lights tours in Alaska, Iceland, Canada and Finland and none compare to this tour and the guides! First the vehicle used seats 15ish there were 13 last night. While we met up with another group from the same company they had their space and we had ours so the small group setting stayed intact. The vehicle is equipped with a sky camera that everyone can monitor during the evening. When we set out the cloud cover was 100% and it was snowing pretty heavy but Margot and Marie drove us 2+ hours into Finland where we stopped at the perfect spot with skies full of stars on a frozen lake with incredible landscape. They set up a fire, ring of chairs, reindeer skin blankets and incredibly a toasty warm toilet! We honestly were in heaven with the stars and camp fire, roasting marshmallows, hot dogs, hot drinks, dessert and listening to the history of Northern Lights belief s from all over the world. We stayed for about 90 minutes and were packing up to head to another spot when the sky opened up and did its thing! We enjoyed one of the best lights displays we’ve seen and we we’ve seen a few! What set this company apart is the lengths that they went to make sure we were comfortable (I was traveling with a broken foot) and had the best odds of a fantastic night and memorable experience … Mission accomplished Ladies! Thank you both for an incredible night full of fun times and laughs! You set the bar extremely high this a MUST book when in Tromso regardless of weather and/or sky conditions!!!!

The good star - From Tromsø, we went by minibus to Finland to escape the clouds and snow to see the spectacular Northern Lights: strong activity on 18/02/2025, the good star... Campfire, toilets, free and beautiful photos taken by Margaux, some astronomy , tales and legends, sausages. A magical and unforgettable moment, Thank you for everything.

David is worth his weight in gold! - From the first interaction with David I knew it was a good omen for the night ahead. He was very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic about getting everyone in his remit the best experience he can. He was postive throughout the trip, pulled over whenever there was a glimpse of the northern lights and set up a nice spot for a bbq. We were extremely fortunate to witness what we did with seconds of arriving at the final destination. Thank you David from the both of us! You are the man and made our trip one to remember.

Incredible experience - The best tour we have ever been on! The dedication from Margaux and Martina to find the perfect spot for the lights led us all the way to Finland and we had a spectacular show. They worked so hard to make sure everyone was comfortable, even when we encountered bad weather on the way home. Thank you so much, an experience we will never forget!

AMAZING - Okay, well I just wanted to tell you that they are the best aurora tour in the world, amazing trip, super friendly, even if you don't see aurora, the tour is worth 100%. They take you to the best locations, they give you dinner, non-alcoholic drinks to warm you up, they tell stories. They don't pressure you.

Unexpected and worth the trip. - Guide and driver were very accommodating. We were back 2am after a 3 hour drive to go to Finland as Tromso had snow all day. 👍👍👍

Don't recommend - I don't really recommend this tour. We saw nice auroras early that night, and before 9pm the guide started to pack stuff to return back. He didn't seem to be enthusiastic in showing us more or explaining more. You should be aware that the tour can be much shorter than the time stated in the website. We arrived home before 10pm. We couldn't get tripods that we requested. He said 'later' and never gave it to us. The price isn't that low, but there's nothing different from big bus tours. We left even earlier than the big bus team that stayed next to us. We flew 15 hours for this one night, but this tour didn't meet our expectations. 이 투어 비추입니다.. 오로라를 일찍 보고 잠잠해졌는데 9시도 안되어 가이드가 짐을 싸기 시작하더니 다시 호텔로 출발했습니다. 기대를 많이 하고 왔는데 오로라를 보고는 가이드가 다른 곳을 찾거나 더 설명하거나 할 의지가 없어보였습니다. 하다못해 좀 기다리면 다시 오로라가 나타날수도 있는건데 바로 돌아가서 실망감이 컸습니다. 소요시간 5-8시간으로 나와있지만 4시간도 안되어 숙소에 도착했습니다. 요청했던 삼각대도 나중에 준다며 결국 받지 못했습니다. 많이 기대하고 먼거리 이동해서 가실텐데 투어 신중하게 선택하셨으면 하는 마음에 후기 남깁니다!
