Was one in a lifetime.... - Was one in a lifetime. Possibility to see the lights was 2-3/10 and the crew tried their very best to find them, we went all the way to the border! I am so pleased. The only thing is I love photos and I’ve posed a lot, and even though I emailed to receive all my photos, I never received it. It’s a bit sad but other than that it was PERFEKT! I feel very lucky. Tromso is. great city by the way. I will definitely come back :)

Highly recommended -- but check out my minibus review first. - Wonderful experience with Georgi, our guide. We had a lot of fun. That said, my group found the minibus experience, from the same company, significantly better that I would recommend that you look at that experience instead (I have a review there).

Great Northern Lights Excursion - This was a bucket list excursion for my wife and I. We were not disappointed in the least. We had originally signed up for the Big Bus Chase, but the tour company upgraded us to this mini bus trip. Our guide, Tomas, was one of the best we have ever encountered on many touring trips. He worked very hard to make sure we got to see a spectacular display of the northern lights. He treated us like long, lost friends. I would highly recommend asking for him for a guide.

Highly recommended - Although the weather forecast seemed adverse, our guides took us to a remote location where we could see several authors. Great and super recommended.

Fantastic Light Display - I do believe we were extremely lucky in being able to see the lights that we saw. It was a fantastic show of lights and we were able to see them with the naked eye- a true life experience. Another reason I believe we were so lucky was because the two guides, Georgi and Gabby, were direct with their instructions and we were the first bus to get to the bathroom stop and to the spot where it seemed most busses stopped to see the lights. The light show was fantastic and the photos we were able to get were amazing. Some of the professional photos from Georgi turned out really well with lights in the background, and some did not. I guess it's hit or miss on what you get. I would recommend this trip to anyone who wants a chance to see a good light show.

Perfect hosts and night - Georgi and Gabby were welcoming to our family with young children. They went above and beyond, and found a spectacular display of lights.

We really enjoyed looking... - We really enjoyed looking for the northern lights with our tour guide Iris. She is a really cheerful and fun person, and non-stop encouraging us to be patient and also chat with the tour people while waiting for the northern lights. She is also very informative and took excellent pictures of us with the northern lights. We are really grateful and happy that we have her as our guide. Without her cheerful personality and non stop encouragement, we would have given up waiting in the cold dark environment for the northern lights. We really recommend Arctic Explorers tour for those who want to hunt the northern lights.

Unforgettable Northern Lights Adventure - Our tour to see the Northern Lights was truly a magical experience. The guides were knowledgeable and friendly, making the trip even more enjoyable. We gathered around a warm fire, which was perfect for overcoming the chilly temperatures while we waited in anticipation of the lights. When the vibrant colors finally danced across the sky, it was breathtaking! We captured stunning pictures that will serve as amazing memories for years to come. Overall, the tour was beautifully organized, and the combination of nature's wonders and the warmth of camaraderie made it an unforgettable adventure. Highly recommended!

Total disappointment - Too much scene with fire, meals, suits. Little interest in searching for the aurora we have not seen. Never again. I think you should look elsewhere
