What are people saying about Tromso

Julie_S, Oct 2026

What an incredible thing to get to see!

What an amazing experience. The sky was cloudy when we set out, but Nelson knew exactly how to read the weather and drove us to the perfect spot where the clouds had cleared. We got to watch the northern lights dance across the sky, and we even caught a few shooting stars. He built a fire and we cooked reindeer sausages while we waited for the lights, and he shared so much interesting information along the way. Nelson is caring, full of energy, and clearly loves what he does. He made the whole night feel special.

Despite clouds we found the lights!

Although there weren't any forecast for strong lights on the evening we went, our guide found them. I didn't catch his name, he was a Dutch gentleman and incredibly knowledgeable. We stopped in a few different places and at one point at up a small camp fire. It was chilly so do wrap up - arctic suits were offered - you feel like you don't need them at first but after a while you really do. Be prepared for a possible scramble down to a lake side on uneven flooring. We really had a great time, the one thing I would say is the 'meal' included was a mug of soup and a waffle. Had we known this i would have a bite to eat before the trip. It was very much appreciated though.

Kim_S, Oct 2026

Road to Sommeray

We wanted to venture out of Tromso, and we didn’t have a car. This excursion more than met our expectations. Even though it was a cloudy day, the road to Sommeroy was gorgeous! Sommeroy itself had lovely white sand beaches in an archipelago of islands. Highly recommend!

Small-Group Northern Lights Tour from Tromso with Photos

Elizabeth_A, Oct 2026

This is an excellent tour...

This is an excellent tour but you need to know that it will likely go overtime. We left at 6pm and returned just after 1am. There is a lot of driving as the guide looks for the best places to stop. It was completely worth it as we saw the most incredible skies that night! Our guide, Jan, was fantastic. He is very knowledgeable and professional and did not give up until he found us the best location. Transportation was comfortable and the cake, coffee and tea around the camp fire was a nice added touch.

Absolutely unforgettable experience!!

The tour staff were incredibly professional, friendly, and knowledgeable. Their experience and dedication made it possible for us to witness the Northern Lights for the very first time in our lives. And yes—we saw them! Not just a glimpse, but lots of them, dancing across the night sky and reflecting beautifully on the calm waters of a remote beach, with majestic mountain peaks forming the perfect backdrop. It was an absolutely unforgettable experience!

Magical experience

The whole experience was amazing! Kat gave us some very interesting and insightful information regarding the northern lights and also Norway in general. We had the luck to see an amazing aurora from very early in our trip and with clear sky. We got it right from our fist stop so we had more time next to the fire and for gazing at the sky and stars✨ 100% recommend 🙏

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.

Silent Whale Watching by Hybrid-Electric Boat from Tromsø

Garry_A, Jan 2026

Whale Watching Trip

A quality company providing this trip with a very modern boat. We didn't see any Wales on our day, but it is getting towards the end of the season when the Whales move on out of the local feeding areas following the herring as they migrate, so we were just unlucky. The views were still incredible on the tour and we got to see a good display of the Northern Lights as we headed back towards Tromso.
