Tromso Aurora Hunt with Bonfire, Meal, Winter Suit & Photos

Ying_L, Apr 2026

From No Show to KP4—An Unforgettable Aurora Chase

We had a wonderful experience with Fabien and Vitek. As Vitek smoothly drove us toward Finland, Fabien kept us engaged by explaining the sights along the way. He was incredibly attentive—serving us soup, cookies, and beverages, and constantly keeping an eye out for aurora activity. Although we didn’t see any auroras during the campfire, Fabien remained persistent. On the drive back, he asked us to stop twice, and on the final stop, we were finally rewarded with a beautiful KP4 aurora, with dancing white and pink hues.

It was an incredible experience. First of all, I would like to thank our guide Max for all his energy, dedication, and the knowledge he shared. He made sure we had an amazing experience with everything he did. It was a wonderful tour, and I was very satisfied. I hope to have the chance to join again one day.

Dog Sledding: A Self-Drive Arctic Experience from Tromsø

Emma_H, Mar 2026

Amazing experience.

What an amazing experience!! Firstly, the most important thing with this activity is the dogs. It was stressed to us during the briefing that happy people mean happy dogs, shown how to pet the dogs, how to make sure they were safe etc. When we got to the dog farm, each dog had their own kennel, with space around it and looked well cared for. The briefing was very comprehensive and Anna made sure everyone was clear on what they needed to do. Thermal suits, gloves etc were all available, and once suited up we headed to the dog farm and met our dog team with strict instructions to cuddle and make sure we were comfortable before we headed out. The scenery around Tromso Husky was spectacular and we were soon wizzing along. When we got back to the Husky Farm we spent more time with the dogs before heading back to the base camp, and having hot drinks and soup. As well as being a great experience to do, this trip was so well organised, and ran by lovely people who obviously care a great deal about the dogs.

Amazing views

We were very lucky to have clear skies and th northern lights showed up early (7-9pm) and left by the time our hands and feet started getting too cold. We had the whole campfire experience with hot chocolate, sausages over a bonfire and amazing pictures from the tour. There were some hiccups with the bus towards the end but it was handled well by Isabel, Dak and our driver

Debbie_R, Feb 2026

Excellent Walking Tour through Tromso

Really enjoyed the experience. Had to ask a few people to see if we were in the correct building. Google maps placed us outside on a different corner. Our guide Carl, was excellent. We met up and joined people already on the tour as there has been an admin mix up and two groups had started at different places. Carl was very clearly spoken and very knowledgeable. Walked through the town, visited the library, fish tank in the restaurant and ended up at the Polar Museum. Carl guided us through the history in the museum. As we had joined the tour later, Carl continued with us and took us to the new part of town before heading back. We said goodbye to Carl at a local cafe and then made our way back. Very friendly and informative guide, would certainly listen to Carl again should we visit Tromso again.

It was amazing to see the reindeer herd in their natural environment. It was great to be able to feed them and wander through the herd. We loved the short reindeer ride and appreciated the woollen blanket. The favourite bit for me was the free hot chocolate and biscuits which were available for the duration of the visit. We enjoyed learning about the Sami culture too.

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 :)

The Aurora Tour - small group, northern lights

Fangchin_C, Jan 2026

Loved every bit, best guide for Aurora viewing.

I can’t say enough good thing about our trip. Marcin our guide is so attentive. We go hot drinks food, food and bonfire to keep us warm. We declined extra clothing but it was prepared for us if we need it. We saw so many auroras and he took beautiful photos of our group. We enjoyed every minutes of our trip. I highly recommend his services. The forest, mountains landscape highlighted by the dancing auroras simmering in the sky and behind the mountains. I felt spiritually connected and my mouth was agasp, in awe at its wonder. The ice crystals covered the branches and trees were beautiful reflecting the dim lights. The skies were covered by multitudes of stars. Words cannot do justice to this nature’s wonder. This place feels so magical.

OZ Travellers...from the bottom to the top of the world...GOOD SHOW

Petra and our driver went out of their way to collect us form our accomodation after confusion at the pickup point. Her expertise in photographic catching of lights was perfect...got GREAT shots. Reindeer soup, Thai curry & marshmellows at the firepit were good. Arctic suits/boots were warm & compared to other operators the price was RIGHT. Worth the money, well done...Annette & Curtis

A Very Special Day in Tromoso!

Our guide Roman was a real gem! He was informative on so many levels! We learned so much in a short time about the Northern Lights because he actually chases them! He too is to a few special Fords on our trip as well as the Local beach! We enjoyed so much the healthy sandwiches and amazing homemade oatmeal cookies that were outstanding! He also took professional fotos for anyone who desired! I highly recommend this tour!
