What are people saying about Tromso

Tromsø: Small Group | Northern Lights Chase + All-Inclusive

Chandrajoy_S, Nov 2026

Amazing night out!

It was a wonderful day experience. Erika was a great guide. We chased the Northern Lights and found a very good spot. This was made even better by the campfire and the snacks that we shared. Our driver Rogers was also very good. All in all worth every bit and would definitely recommend it.

Chasing the Northern Lights with Wandering Owl

An unforgettable aurora hunting experience with Wandering Owl! Magda, our knowledgeable guide, and Ilain, our driver, were determined to find the best aurora and they absolutely delivered! We saw some of the brightest, crispest Northern Lights, enjoyed warm food and drinks by a bonfire, and received beautiful tour photos the very next day. 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.

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.

I tried a tour with my 9-year-old. Fortunately, the weather was good, and I was able to see many beautiful auroras. It was easy to participate because the large bus with a restroom was warm inside and allowed for breaks at any time. We warmed up by the bonfire, made hot dogs, and had hot chocolate. You took so many beautiful pictures, and I was able to download them for free later. It was a tour that satisfied the whole family.

Incredible outing, lots of auroras and a talented photographer and guide

The experience was superb with The Green Adventure. From start to finish we had a wonderful time and saw lots of auroras in several locations well selected by the guide who was truly dedicated and passionate. I recommend it 100%. It is worth the price.

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.

Northern Lights Tour Unlimited Chase Crossing Borders

Magic lights

Even though we traveled outside of Tromso because it was cloudy, the team was tireless and made the uncertain, certain. Fabulous! Congratulations to the entire team that made the decision to camp in Skibotn and trust that the sky would open in that place. As the minutes passed, the sky became starry and the Northern lights began to appear. First timidly until we were graced with a magical ball that moved the group, recording in photograph a memory that will last a lifetime. Thanks to Matias on behalf of the whole team.

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

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.
