From the minute we arrived and were greeted by our friendly captain to the moment we left, this was a top notch experience. The boat was beautiful, the safety equipment was up to date and we had a great time. There was plenty of room on the deck for everyone to watch the northern lights and the interior was comfortable for warming up. We had a great time and would definitely do it again.
Captain was very accommodating, allowed me to switch my reservation to the following night since the night I scheduled it had really bad weather. Co captain was very knowledgeable about the northern lights. Very fun and unforgettable experience!
The captain was expirienced and knows where to bring us. We had a good time chasing the northern lights.
We didn’t see the northern lights our night out but it was such a great night learning about the animals and fiords of the area. Would do again!
This tour was wonderful. The catamaran was nice and well appointed with a small amount of people that did not feel crowded. Outerwear was also provided. We were able to see the northern lights for multiple hours and snap great photos. Our guide, Arno, was super friendly and knowledgeable as well.
Clement was a fabulously interesting guy who was great to talk to. Didn’t see lights until we returned to port but was great to finally see them. They were more visible through phone but still amazing to watch the cloudy images dance around the night sky. ! Beautiful view of the night landscape and the starry sky!
It was an absolutely EPIC experience. First of all, the aurora tonight is a dancing queen in flame 🔥! It keeps coming back brighter and grander. Was -8 but didn’t feel freezing on the boat. And nothing beats laying on the catamaran and gazing into the aurora dancing right over our faces.
Our captain/guide, Clement, is just perfect. He made us feel at home and warm. He’s a marine biologist specialized in polar bears. How cool is that! He introduces us to the marine lives around Tromsø area. His pictures with orcas are award winning worthy! He comes in the salon from time to time to notify people that aurora activities.
Besides that, we feel super lucky to be with a group of lovely fellow travelers.
Personally, I do prefer catamaran over bus tours. Highly recommending Arctic Eagle and our guide Clement!
We travelled from Cape Town, South Africa to Tromso,Norway to see her, Aurora Borealis.
She did not disappoint.
Our host Clement was magnifique.
Very knowledgeable and willing to share.
We felt very safe on the catamaran the entire trip.
The snacks weren't the best, but we didn't come for the snacks, we came to see the Northern Lights
Only negative though; we struggled a bit to find the catamaran.
Maybe clearer directions would help.
We were amazed and so pleased to see the Northern Lights. Our host on the Catamaran was very friendly and knowledgeable and made the whole experience a delight
Captain Nick was the best. The boat was clean and he took us to an excellent spot to view the Aurora.
In all honesty I loved every minute of our cruise and the lights appearing in the final hour really put the icing on the cake of our experience!! Nick was a superb guide. He knows the area well and was able to answer all our queries about what we could see, he also gave us a clear explanation of why the lights appear. I'd much rather go out searching for the lights in a survival suit in the fresh open air on a boat than been confined in a mini bus... it was utterly fabulous!
This wasn't the luxury catamaran that we were expecting because the boat broke down but we were very delighted and happy with the replacement we were provided. We all loved the Capt and it was lovely to see him so excited for us when the lights appeared. Thank you for a wonderful and authentic experience. We were over the moon to see the lights! 5 stars definitely!
The boat is great! Warm suits available, bathroom, water, coffee tea and small snacks! The captain /host was great and knowledgeable! We got super lucky and saw the Aurora ! Super worth it!
Awesome host, awesome cruise, awesome night.
We see the northern lights so many times, it was an experience of a life time
The captain and crew were very willing to share their stories of Tromso and worked hard to find a view of the Northern Lights despite poor viewing conditions.
Response from Host, Feb 2023
Thanks so much for your feedback! We are really happy that you enjoyed the tour despite that the weather wasn’t on our side. We hope to see you again!
Best regards

We had such a wonderful time out with Haakon. It turned out to be just the two of us and he still happily took us out.
He went above and beyond to ensure we had a good time, checking in on us to make sure we were comfortable/warm. He also provided a snack and drinks, helping us feel at home. The catamaran was clean and cozy, and it was awesome hanging out on the net in the front. We didn’t see much light activity but the experience was so lovely we didn’t mind!
Perfect trip!

Beautiful ship and very friendly owner.
Fue terrible! Nuestro capitán muy querido, andamos a una velocidad de ida tranquila,
No
Vimos auroras boreales tampoco nos esperamos mucho, peor ya de regreso el capitán toma una velocidad increíble y el catamaran se movía demasiado, nos enfermamos,
No disfrutamos fue terrible
Es war eine tolle Atmosphäre auf dem Schiff und Clemont ein ausgezeichneter Kapitän und Reiseleiter.
Treffpunkt sehr schwer zu finden. An beschriebenen Treffpunkt niemand aufzufinden. Gebuchtes Boot nicht mehr vor Ort.
Es sollte Snacks geben. Für 10 Personen gab es eine Tüte Nüsse.
Der Guide / Fahrer war nett und freundlich und kommunikativ.
Wetter war gut, Polarlichter konnten wir leider nicht sehen.
La barca è bella e calda. La guida ha avvistato l'aurora ancora fioca.
Siamo stati fortunati ad averla vista.. è diventata molto luminosa
Sehr geräumiges Boot; der Guide hat auf jedes Polarlicht hingewiesen und war beim Fotografieren behilflich; ein wunderbaresErlebnis.😊
Nonostante fosse nuvoloso il capitano ci ha portato in mezzo al mare dove il cielo era limpido e abbiamo potuto vedere l’aurora contro ogni aspettativa!
Abiti caldi e caffè disponibili!
Consigliato!
Ein super Erlebnis - die nächtliche Katamarantour hat uns um Tromsø auf der nach Nordlichtern geführt und war ein wirklich schöner Abend mit echten Geschichten des lokalen Guides. Es war authentisch und hat echt Spaß gemacht. Und weil unsere Finger die ganze Zeit gekreuzt waren, haben wir sogar atemberaubende Polarlichter zu Gesicht bekommen! Ein wahrer Traum, ein gelungener Abend mit super Leuten und viel fachkundigen Geschichten. Absolut empfehlenswert 👍🏼
L'excursion en catamaran était absolument superbe. Nous étions en petit groupe : 5 voyageurs + le capitaine du bateau.
La sortie du canal donnait une superbe vue sur Tromsø, et après un peu d'attente et de pêche, nous avons pu observer quelques aurores pas très intense mais qui nous ont ravie tout de même.
L'ambiance était top et nous avons bien pu profiter de cette superbe soirée.
Je recommande cette excursion.
Une expérience fabuleuse, le commandant de bord était vraiment très sympathique, nous avons pêcher et vue des Aurore boréale, nous avons pu nous mettre au chaud avec un thé ou café chaud également dans la cabine du bateau car il faisait vraiment très froid. Nous avons eu une brioche et goûter du poisson sécher en chips 😅 spéciale !
Merci encore pour cette accueil et cette gentillesse.
