What are people saying about Tromso

Jennifer_R, Oct 2026

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!

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!

David_L, Oct 2026

These Guided Really are Northern Lights Chasers!!!

This excursion was well worth the money. This tour put a big check on my bucket list!! Expect to stay out the 9 hours (time flies). It’s a couple hours ride to get away from the city lights. Liam (tour guide) and Peter (minibus driver) worked as a team to make our experience over the top. There is a whole. Network of light chasers who help each other find the best spots to stop. The first stop we did was OK and we got some nice shots. Liam and Peter made some warm Current drink for us to keep us warm and cookies. They also provided deer skins for us to sit on the tour also provides warm boots and suits that you can put on that really helped as it was pretty cold that night when we found that the sky was not as clear the longer we stayed there, we drove further and found the most amazing spot on a hill. We had a light show that lasted well over an hour. We saw reds and greens and the lights danced and shot across the sky. I’ve never seen anything like it. The served us some dinner and we had a fire for a short time. Liam took pictures of us with the lights in the background, videos and night sky shots with his professional camera. You just have to go with this company- their attention to detail is unbelievable!! David and Suanne

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.

Janet_F, Mar 2026

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.

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.

Christy_K, Dec 2025

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!!!
