Unforgettable experience - I had a lovely time on my aurora chase trip with this company. The guide Nicola took us to the place far around 1 hour ride from Tromso and we were the only group there. It was a nice spot at the lake surrounded by the mountains. The aurora was quite strong and we could see it for more hours which was a great experience. We also received a lot of nice pictures of ourselves and landscapes quicky after the trip. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing supernatural experience - We went for aurora chase with Nico at the end of March. Not only we were extremely lucky to have a blast with a magnificient lights display that lasted for like 5 hours (which is quite raw) , we could also face this experience in a beautiful nature! 😍 This could only happen because Nico took us with his 6x seats 4X4 to a secluded spot to arrange this intimate experience just for the six of us which felt supernatural. He's the best aurora guide we've ever met knowing some of the most stunning spots and also taking care of all individuals in his group. At last but not least his photos are simply gorgeous - not oversaturated with useless filters but a great composition and background on the pics! If we ever get back to Tromso we'll only go for the northern lights trips again with him. Grazie mille for an unforgettable memory, Nico! 🤗

Great experience - Despite relatively bad weather forecast Nico had the right feeling and found a cloud gap. Thanks to the 4x4 we were able to admire a unique spectacle in the sky off the big road with views of water and mountains. The wonderful photos he took of the group and the Northern Lights were later made available to us online. His explanations about Aurora and the weather forecast were also extremely interesting. Overall highly recommended!

One of those moments I’ll never forget! - Nicola is an amazing guide—super knowledgeable, easygoing, and really makes you feel at ease from the start. He knows exactly how to read the weather, where to go, and how the northern lights work. Sure, the aurora is always a bit unpredictable, but with Nicola you seriously boost your chances of seeing it. He’s got a solid network and some high-tech tools to find the best possible spot. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible aurora show! Afterward, he built a fire, served us a delicious soup, and we spent the rest of the night chatting and laughing. He even managed to turn a group of strangers into friends—it felt like we’d known each other for ages. It was honestly one of those nights I’ll never forget. If you’re dreaming of seeing the northern lights, Nicola is 100% the guide you want.

Best photo tour guide - Nico was an outstanding Northern Lights tour guide! Despite challenging weather conditions, his expertise, intuition, and deep knowledge of the region made all the difference. He adjusted the plan as needed to maximize our chances, and thanks to his persistence and skill, we managed to witness the Aurora and capture some amazing pictures—an unforgettable experience. The fact that he drives a 4x4 gives him great flexibility in finding good spots, away from other groups. The next day, we took another tour on a big bus, and the experience wasn’t nearly as enjoyable. Nico also set up a smokeless bonfire—unlike every other tour we had previously taken— which is a big bonus so you don’t stink afterwards, and gathered us around to explain the science behind the lights while we enjoyed an amazing meal and hot chocolate. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a small-group experience (which, in my opinion, is a must) with a dedicated and passionate guide!

The best "aurora hunter" - Nico is the best "aurora hunter" you can wish for. I didn't expect to see anything on that stormy day, but thanks to his enthusiasm and knowledge, we found a perfect spot to enjoy the northern light. The small group size also made the trip more enjoyable and flexible.

Couldn’t Of Been Better - Nico is a fantastic guide. He was brilliant at explaining the phenomenon and managing expectations. His knowledge of the area meant he was quick at adapting the plans to make sure we had a clear sky. We spent 3 nights in his company and due to his expertise, were lucky to have an epic display each time. He also took wonderful pictures of us and the group and provided lovely local food and warm drinks. Being only a small tour of 6 is what makes this tour special and stand out from the rest. We were able to access spots away from the big buses and enjoy the aurora in solitude and tranquility. As a photographer myself, Nico was very helpful at advising on camera settings and offering composition tips as well. Would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Tromsø and hoping to see the Aurora!

Unforgettable photos of the Aurora that will remain in your memory forever - Thanks your photos are beautiful and your advice and instructions for the event that was due to arrive were exhaustive. Your prediction was correct despite the fact that we received different information from the world sites. The third wave was the most impetuous, they looked like waves pushed by the wind... fantastic, too bad it lasted a few minutes. (Occasionally out of the corner of my eye I would see you running on the road.....I imagined to place you as soon as possible)

A unique emotion made possible by an exceptional guide - An unforgettable experience, made even more special by the exceptional guide we had: Nicola. His passion, preparation and dedication in taking us in search of the Northern Lights were truly admirable. From the very first moment you could feel how much he cares about his work: attentive, helpful and tireless in monitoring the weather conditions and choosing the best place to increase the chances of sighting. And thanks to his commitment... we did it! We saw the Northern Lights and the show was simply magical. Nicola is not just a guide, he is a true aurora hunter, one of those who do not give up easily and do everything to make participants experience the emotion that everyone dreams of. I recommend this expedition to anyone who wants to live an authentic adventure, in safe hands and with a heart full of wonder.

Best Aurora guide. - We had such an amazing time chasing the Aurora Borealis with Nico. Mother Nature was obviously very kind to us but, he made it possible for us to see it in such a beautiful place, even with really bad weather predictions. There was a snowstorm and a lot of cloud cover. Nico delayed the start of the tour keeping it in mind, as the weather was supposed to improve later in the night. He drove us a long distance, constantly checking for clear skies. We initially had no success at the first attempted destination. He then drove us to a different location. His perseverance paid off. We had such a wonderful, magical night. He also provided us with everything required to help us stay warm. Thank for being so enthusiastic, considerate, friendly and above all trying your very best, Nico! We wish you all the best. Ti auguro il meglio! Meghna & Varsha.
