Fantastic company and... - Fantastic company and great guides. Other tours cancelled their trips on the night we went out but not this company! We drove till we found clear skies, set up camp and were treated to a fantastic light show. Definitely recommend this outfit.

Amazing Northern Light sights - We saw the lights and boy did they put on a show! We made the drive 3hrs to Finland and were able to watch them for hours. To the point, my hands and feet were frozen so I went to sit in the warm van to defrost. Don't forget to bring your passport! This was a great tour, apologies I forgot the driver and guides names but they were both great. Kept us safe while driving in crazy winter weather conditions and the guide was full of knowledge and helped us find the perfect spot to view the NL It was a long night, believe departure time was at 630pm, and I wasn't dropped off at hotel till 3am. It was worth it but be warned you will be out late if you see the lights and are in Finland. Also dinner was a hotdog and sweets. Eat before or bring food if you need more than that for a meal.

A night to remember - Both the guide and the driver are true professionals. Very caring and detail oriented.They both made sure we were taken care of. Although the drive was long… we were lucky to see the northern lights. Highly recommend.

Unforgettable night with fantastic guides - The most incredible night and 21st Birthday my daughter will never forget! It had been snowing all day in Tromso, I even worried they’d cancel the tour, but our fantastic guides Margaux and Martime drove us over 2 and a half hours to crystal clear skies in Northern Finland. We stopped for some stunning and very picturesque photos where the lights were bright and moving above a pretty log cabin before moving on to our destination on the Finland Sweden border where for the next 2 hours the lights moved all around us and danced over our heads non stop! We were incredibly lucky to have such a fantastic show, but even without the lights, cooking hot dogs and toasting marshmallows on the fire, drinking hot chocolate, eating Norwegian chocolate and doughnuts and listening to stories and beliefs of the lights under the night sky in the Arctic in Winter would have been magical in itself! They even sang Happy Birthday to my daughter! Our guides could not have been more helpful, kind and thrilled for us all. Toilet stops were included on the way there and way back, and they had a toilet tent which nobody actually needed on the night. My daughter wore the suit and boots provided with our own toe warmers and was plenty warm enough. They took as many photos of you with the lights as you wanted which are sent on to you, but the time lapse videos were airdropped to us en route home. Could not recommend this tour more, we arrived back in Tromso just before 4am. Endless thanks to Margaux and Martime for an unforgettable experience! Top tip, Don’t forget to bring your passport along incase you need to go into Finland!

Excellent!!! A one of a kind experience - One of the best tours we ever participated in!! The tour was punctual with the departure as scheduled after giving warm overalls to participants. The minisbus was very comfortable in which we drove almost 1h30 to get settled. The small group size of 15 guests made the experience more enjoyable especially when we sat together around a barbecue fire by the beach and enjoyed hotdogs, local food and marshmallow with an amazing show of nothern lights above our heads and listenning to stories and myths about the northern lights. Above all, our two guides Martine the driver and Margaux were extremely friendly and an excellent company. The digital pictures taken by Margaux and shared the day after were amazing and professionally done! I recommand 1000%!!

Comfortable - Professional, well run tour by knowledgeable guide and driver. For the price, the catering is fine but not amazing. Bus is comfortable. Be aware you won’t always see a lot, but then again you can’t control the weather!

Fun but lights a no show - The trip was nice - the guides (Margot & Martienne) were warm and friendly as well as knowledgeable about the Northern Lights. The weather didn't slow for a sightings though they made a great efforts. We we shown the lights as captured on their cameras but not with the naked eye. We actually were lucky the next night and saw a great dhow.
