Great trip
Gerrard our tour guide made this trip very interesting and worthwhile. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about the reindeer that belong to the Sami people, he made sure that we respected their habitat.
The food at Sommaroy hotel was very good and on the trip back Gerrard took us to a fjord that was stunning at 12.6km. Thank you Gerrard.

Beautiful and Magical Tour!
My husband and I are visiting from the states. The main reason we came to the area is to see the northern lights. We were really worried when it was snowing that day that we wouldn’t be able to see them.
Our guide, Magda and our driver Lilian made sure we saw them. Had to drive out about 1 1/2 hours so that we had clear skies to view the northern lights. They made sure that along the way we stopped for toilets and to grab some snacks at a convenience store. It was like a cozy road trip with 20 of your friends.
Once they found a good site, they set up an fire and we were able to put on winter suits. Trust me, the winter suits were needed . We were nice and comfortable. We were then served a delicious soup for dinner. Magda then explained what to look for in the sky to take pictures of the northern lights. She also took professional pictures of all of us, which I cannot wait to see.
We ended up getting a beautiful light show. It did not feel rushed at all. We were allowed to take our time and take as many pictures as we liked. On the way back, Magda explained the science behind the northern lights. She also played us some local music from the Sammies.
Beautiful night and a magical tour. I cannot recommend it highly enough. I am sure all of the guides are great, but we felt extremely lucky to have Magda as our guide. She truly cares and makes it interesting and fun. Thank you!

Fab aurora chasing with MAX!!
It was a truly surreal and out-of-this-world experience! We were incredibly lucky that the weather was in our favour that night, making the entire experience even more magical.
Max, our guide, was absolutely amazing - knowledgeable, passionate and incredibly hardworking. He explained everything so beautifully and made sure we were comfortable throughout. The entire experience was very well organised and punctual, and the thermal suits they provided were an absolute lifesaver in the cold! Our driver was also extremely kind and wonderful.
Everything came together perfectly, and it turned into a night we will remember forever. Absolutely loved it and would wholeheartedly recommend this experience! ✨💚

This tour shows beautiful places near Tromso
This tour is beautiful. It shows you parts of Tromsø that you would otherwise not get to know on your own . You get to see beautiful places and hidden gems . The tour guide named Linda was super nice and friendly, she drove very carefully, and shared a lot o useful information about Norway. The lunch was delicious in a beautiful place.

Good experience to learn about the history of the city
Bernard (I am sorry if the spelling is incorrect) very knowledgeable and gave us so much information about the adventurers, hunters and researchers in the Arctic during our visit to the Polar Museum.
Having a guided walking tour with a knowledgeable tour guide is good experience to learn about the history of the city.

Dedicated tour guides
There was a snow storm in Tromso so we headed north to get out of it. The guides let us know that we might have to go as far as Finland to see them, but their goal was not too keep us out too late. We ended up going to Finland as the snow didn’t stop in Norway! It was worth it; the skies opened up for us and the time was of no consequence.

Great night chasing auroras
Unforgettable experience seeing the auroras! Our guide was Jessica, she was very knowledgable and approachable. She made sure we were comfortable at all times and really made an effort for us to maximise our chances of seeing the auroras and we did! Cant recommend this experience enough!

This day trip was very...
This day trip was very interesting, fun and informative; we learned about Sami culture and reindeers/herding from a Sami woman (in Tromsø studying at the university) who spoke authentically and well of her culture and was a great tour guide. Thank you to all! The reindeer were super cute, got to feed them for a while :)

Oh Deer!!!
This was a wonderful experience! You really get up close and personal with the reindeer! If you are looking for real interaction with wildlife, you will love this! We learned so much about the Sami Culture and lunch was delicious. Take the longer sleigh ride, it is worth it just to take in the amazing scenery!

Highly recommend!
Well looked after little reindeer herd.
Everything organised efficiently. Reindeer are so sweet.
Veggies can have veggie soup at lunch if preferred.
Good little gift shop. Face cream and lip balm excellent.
Sami story time is very interesting with good time set aside for Q&A
Would highly recommend.

Whale Watching by boat
A wonderful experience on a lovely boat.
The boat was beautiful, clean, warm and the staff absolutely amazing.
They travel around as much as possible to maximise your chances of seeing whales and educate you on what types you may see.
Highly recommend this tour.

MAGICAL Norwegian journey
This is one of the most magical experiences I have ever had! We lucked out with perfect weather for winter in Norway. Clear skies for the limited daylight we had and it was gorgeous. The boat ride out to the bay was surrounded by snowcapped mountains and the crew provided great information about the journey and the whales. Once to the spot, it was nonstop wildlife. A few people saw a mink whale! But everyone saw plenty of humpbacks and orcas. We spent plenty of time at the location and everyone was having an amazing time. On the ride back, they served delicious soup and we had snacks and beverages the entire time. On the journey back, we even got to see the northern lights, which was just a cherry on top of an already perfect day. My group LOVED this tour and I would do it again. If you are having doubts, throw them away and book this!!!
