The team always collaborates, staying in contact with other Aurora hunters to maximize the chances of success.
Once the ideal spot under clear skies is found, preparations for the spectacle will begin. A bonfire will be set up, offering the perfect opportunity to warm up with a hot drink and roast some delicious marshmallows. During this time, fascinating stories from the north and legends about Lady Aurora will be shared. Guests will also have the chance to taste “made in Tromso” soup, specially crafted for Arctic expeditions. After the tour, photos taken by the expedition leader will be provided to the guests.

Aurora Hunt - This trip was amazing. The weather was not good but JJ and our driver did a fantastic job and we saw the lights. We got some great photos and the lights were definitely amazing. This was a bucket list thing to see and thanks to this trip we experienced it.

Exceptional experience with Kat - The experience was amazing from beginning to end! Our guide Kat did a spectacular job. We watched the aurora for hours!!!! She made a fire, we had reindeer stew and finished off with toasting marshmallows. This was a trip to never forget.

Dedicated team! - We did this tour with Kat and Rob. What a dedicated team, they found for us northern lights in a hopeless night. they are the best in Tromso, we did also 2 other tours with cheaper companies, but then you can realize who works in this industry for years. On the other tours even if it was end of the season I had a feeling that they have random guides. Unlike The Green Adventure, they knew what they are doing from pick up to the end of the journey when we safely came back to our hotel. Yes! They have hotel drop off.

Best birthday gift ever! - Before traveling from Canada to Norway to see the northern lights, me and my sister spent more hours than I care to admit combing through aurora hunt listings for one that looked perfect for us - and I'm extremely happy to say that Green Adventures did not disappoint. We had an amazing night of non-stop aurora shows that was only bettered by the company of our amazing guide and driver. We made a couple of different stops to chase the lights where they looked their brightest, and then settled in on our final location with no one around but our group and a warm fire. Something interesting I noticed is that while one of our guides was driving, our photographer was I think taking images of the aurora through the window, probably to track how good the lights looked on camera. You could definitely tell that the guides wanted to find the lights just as badly as we did. Also, we did not share a viewing spot with any other tour at any of our stops - I had worried about this being a possibility before coming, so that was a big plus for me.
In terms of objective positives: this tour lasts a long time, thermal suits are offered to anyone who is interested, the photographers are very skilled, the bus is comfortable and warm, and all photos are shared with your group for free through a link shortly after the tour date. You can purchase the photos for a fee to have the watermark removed, or if you're looking to blow your photo up and hang it on the wall. Though, if you have no plans to purchase a photo, I will say that the watermark on the free version is small (on the bottom of the image) and quite inoffensive to look at.
With all of that being said, one of the biggest positives of this tour for me was honestly the vibe. Our photographer was skilled, personable, and extremely excited to watch us all experience the lights. Talking with everyone in our group around the fire was a very sweet experience, and we met some really awesome people that we probably never would've crossed paths with otherwise. One girl even showed up in full Cosplay which was so cool. After everyone had their photos at our final location I even asked the photographer for some photos of me with different contrasts and poses. I'm not sure which of us was more happy with the photo experimentation honestly.
All in all, this was the best part of my trip to Norway (and my birthday) and I would absolutely do a tour again with Green Adventures. I hope everyone scouring through pages upon pages of aurora hunt listings like I was a few months ago gets to have as good of an experience on their tour as I did on mine. Ps. they sign off their emails with "may aurora be with you" - and I think that's really cool.

New Year's Eve Northern Lights Hunt - This was a perfect experience. Our guide Lukas gave us all the information about the Northern Lights and he did it in a funny way. He has excellent knowledge and showed us the app that we could use for our own Auroral activity in the following days. The other clients on the bus were of different nationalities and it was great to chat with them. Lukas took us to a very nice place. We were on the beach and after a while the show in the sky started. All that green beauty was reflected in the water. We got reindeer soup, hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows. We got back a little before midnight, so we saw the fireworks and had a toast by bubbles together before we said goodbye. Thank you for this experience.

Earnest effort to catch the elusive lights - We drove for hours and didn't see the lights but it seemed like our guide Lukas really tried his best. He was just as disappointed as the rest of us. Along the way he shared his thought processes and about how they go about chasing the lights.
Thermal suits were good, clean and readily available. Headlamps available too.
The Reindeer soup by the bonfire was yummy, but don't expect it to be enough for a whole meal.
Overall would recommend!
