Amazing night with...

Amazing night with Fabian! Forecast was grim, with rain and 100% cloud coverage. We prepared ourselves for a long cold disappoint night. But the guides found a magical empty spot away from the other tour companies and the sky suddenly lit up beyond compare!

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.

Extremely punctual and friendly

Great experience! He arrived exactly on time and was very cheerful and helpful. It took us to places where we saw reindeer and we stayed longer in a beautiful region without other tourists. The snack was excellent and the hot chocolate was delicious. We thank you immensely for the care you showed us and hope to return soon!

Must do excursion. Magda/Nico/Vitek are the best!

The tour was totally worth it. We were greeted by Magda and Nico at our meetup location and we could tell things were going to be great. They really went out of their way to find the best location for us to see something that we’ve been wanting to see for years. On top of that, Magda took awesome photos of everyone and helped others capture their own photos with gear they brought. Easy to recommend this excursion but it’s even better with Magda and crew.

Fantastic night in search of the northern lights

Beautiful experience hunting for the northern lights. Tour starts around 6 PM to leave in search of the aurora. Our guide was very nice and helpful. We had a wonderful experience with a bonfire and marshmallows. Thermal suits for everyone, including children. After much searching, our guide finally managed to find the spot where we were able to see the magnificent northern lights. Serious and professional tour, recommended!

Silent Whale Watching by Hybrid-Electric Boat from Tromsø

Debbie_W, Oct 2026

Positive experience in every aspect.

Our initial booking was cancelled due to storms, but several alternatives we're offered. Communication from the operator was excellent. The boat is clean and comfortable, staff are friendly, helpful and attentive. Clear updates were given along the way at every stage. Lots.of information was given about the whales in the area, their behavioural traits and lives. We were lucky to see several pods of orca and a number of hump back whales. In addition there were interesting seabirds, though sadly we failed to notice a passing sea eagle. Participant safety was prioritised, and potential hazards and alternative plans made clear before sailing so that travellers had the option of sailing at a later date. A speaker system on deck would be helpful in identifying sightings to those outdoors on a different deck, otherwise excellent all round.

Cheng_T, Oct 2026

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!

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.
