All-inclusive Aurora Hunt with 98% success rate (photos included)

antonio_g, Nov 2026

Antonio

It was the most incredible experience of my life. We went aurora hunting up to the Finnish border, surrounded by nothing. Then, suddenly, we were stunned to see these beautiful green and pink lights dancing across the sky. It was absolutely magical and unforgettable

Northern Lights in Norway with Bert

We were on a cruise all their excursions were booked up. I have used Viator all over the world so decided to check out their northern lights tour. I saw good reviews and Bert mentioned several times so we booked. On the day of our tour it was rainy The ship cancelled all their tours. We went to the meeting place and by luck we got Bert as our guide. We drove around Bert was on his computer and phone looking at the weather he had done his research. After driving for some time Bert found a spot that had cleared and the lights started it was wonderful it went on for over an hour or more we not only saw green but pink and moving ribbons Beyond our expectations. Highly recommend this tour and especially Bert and our driver Fin.

Amazing service, great insights, and magical memories. Highly recommend!

Whale Safari in Tromso

manuhandschin, Nov 2026

Successful whale watching tour

Well organized, good communication, they tell you a lot about the whales. Respectful treatment of nature. Helpful and friendly crew and guides. Booked the tour twice and saw whales both times. The boat is quite a bit faster than other providers and therefore gets to the area where the whales are located faster, but also gets back to Tromsø faster.

Tromsø: Northern Lights Adventure with Expert Guides and Photos

Denise_M, Nov 2026

Is it really all that they say

Matteo and Sophia were extremely helpful guides. The bus arrived on time, we went out looking for good weather and managed to find the Northern Lights before crossing the border with Finland. At first it was difficult to see but eventually we reached a region of clear sky and it showed itself intensely. It is truly magical to see her dance. We also had time to sit around the bonfire and roast hotdogs and drink hot chocolate. Incredible experience, helpful guides, and the driver Marsis also deserves congratulations.

Silent Whale Watching by Hybrid-Electric Boat from Tromsø

Lin_G, Nov 2026

Five stars: a fantastic whale watching trip, with a brilliant crew

We were upfront told when boarding that the trip might not go ahead as planned, because the sea was quite wavy. The crew explained that we could give it a try, with the chance of turning back halfway, and that rescheduling or a refund would be offered if that happened. I really appreciated that honesty and flexibility. As it turned out, we were lucky with the weather and the trip went ahead all the way. The staff were helpful and friendly from start to finish, and whenever I asked for help, they were always happy to give it. During the whale watching itself, the crew answered all my questions and were clearly very knowledgeable. We were lucky enough to see a big group of orcas, and even an eagle, which made the trip feel extra special. The presentations on the journey were a real highlight. Mateo's talk on polar bear tracking was especially interesting, full of fascinating insight into life in the Arctic. It made the time between sightings just as engaging. A great experience overall, and I'd happily recommend it to anyone visiting Tromsø.

Otherworldly experience 🌌💚✨🫶🏻

We came to Tromsø to try and regain some magic back into our lives after our daughter passed away this year which devastated us to the core. The tour with Jan was absolutely spectacular - we felt it was just what we needed. We were told there was just a slightest chance of aurora happening which also marred by cloudy skies - but just sat telling stories by the campfire with a lovely group of people, lovely hot drinks and delicious blueberry cake- topped off with Jan’s excellent knowledge and enthusiasm was soo fulfilling, it blew us away! He told us about how the aurora works, the stars the constellations, Sami culture and some Norwegian folklore and we loved learning about it. The chase was real, we ended up touring all around the snow capped mountain roads and borders of Norway/Sweden and Finland, looking for the clearest skies. It was on the way back when Jan told us quick jump out now… and we were treat to an otherworldly light show (with pictures) which is now stored as a core life memory! Best wishes to Jan for his friendly nature, relentless passion for making sure we had the best experience and his thorough and detailed knowledge of everything. Thank you Jan for the trip of a lifetime.

Night Reindeer Sledding with Camp Dinner and Chance of Northern Lights

Matteo_Z, Apr 2026

Unrepeatable, do it

If there is one tour you should definitely do if you are in Tromso, it is this. You can't help but do it, starting from the fact that you will meet real Sami people, who will make you fall in love with their culture and history, passing among reindeer and feeding them is too much fun and unique experience that makes this experience truly something unique. The delicious dinner served closes the circle. The only cons is that it lasts a while, I would have preferred to stay just half an hour longer or even an hour, to try to see if a bit of Northern Lights came out. N.B. If you book in months not really winter probably the sled will not make you do it because the snow may be little

Tromso Self-Drive Husky Dog Sledding

William_B, Mar 2026

While in Finland and...

While in Finland and Norway, we enjoyed many arctic activities, but this was our favorite. We’re animal lovers and appreciate a thrill, and this offered both. The people were so kind and educated us on how to do the activity properly but also on how they (and more importantly, the pups!) prepare for it. Although it’s not ideal for children, we brought our 7-year-old and they made it safe and fun for all of us. There are lots of husky opps in the north, but this one appears to be one truly caring for the dogs. The dogs seem happy and are so eager to go for a fun run through the beautiful mountain side. I have no interest in a sport that gratifies me but at the same of the health and happiness of an animal, and these guys seem to do such an amazing job that both humans and pups are healthy and happy to be there.

Reindeer Sledding Experience and Sami Culture Tour from Tromso

Wyoming_M, Feb 2026

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 :)

Sami Culture and Short Reindeer Sledding from Tromso

Diana_C, Feb 2026

Beautiful experience

This was a once in a lifetime experience for my partner and I. The reindeers are free to roam and come to you whenever they want to eat from the bucket of food provided. The scenery is beautiful and the short sledding was memorable. The storytelling was wonderful and we were happy to hear that we are promoting the Sami culture. The reindeer stew was really delicious.
