Highly recommended tour in small group with great guide - Very nice, highly recommended experience. Linda, our guide, did a great job with incredible passion and relentless energy. She found perfect spots, was able to create a very warm, familiar atmosphere in the group and has proven herself to be an excellent photographer. To do this in a small group - how Blue Puffin does it - is clearly an advantage. Very comfortable bus with Adam as very prudent and cautious driver.

Amazing Tour - The tour was amazing! Our Guide Linda and the driver Adam did a fantastic job. Linda knew the best places and we saw amazing northern lights. She took amazing pictures as well! For the cold we were provided with special overalls, which helped a lot. The minibus was very good and comfortable. Tour could not have been better and we loved it!

Truly Memorable - We did the Northern Lights tour last night and I can truly say that it was a fantastic tour. Linda was truly awesome and her enthusiasm was contagious! The combination of Linda and Majeic (The driver) made for an amazing night. We did manage to see the Green Lady and ticked another item off the bucket list. Small tours are definitely the way to do this. It makes it a far more intimate affair than the big buses. We got to know rest of the people on the tour and Linda took time to gauge what the itinerary was based on who was there rather and having a set list of what we did and where we went. If you are looking for a Northern Lights tour while you are in Tromso then look no further. Book with Blue Puffin. Thank you again from David and Emma

Worth it! - We had a great trip with a well experienced and enthusiastic guide who did not give up on chasing the lights on a cloudy night. We rode a long way and in the end found an opening in the sky with some activity and managed to see the amazing lights. Professional pictures were also taken and the soup was delicious!

Highly Recommended. Fantastic Service. - An amazing tour guide who truly went above and beyond — checking more than 10 meteorological maps on a night with only a 0–12% chance of aurora sightings, just to give us an unforgettable two hours of dancing Northern Lights. The tour itself was fantastic, with comfortable bus transport and a knowledgeable guide who shared not only insights about the Northern Lights, but also fascinating information about the Nordic countries. He even helped us capture beautiful photos to commemorate this once-in-a-lifetime experience. Truly unforgettable.

Amazing experience! As... - Amazing experience! As many other tours have gone, we had to drive all the way to Finland, but the bus was super comfortable and our guide and driver were the best! I highly recommend Blue Puffin!

5 Stars Out of 5 - We did our tour on Wednesday, December 17th, 2025 with the amazing Joan, who did an excellent job finding the Northern Lights for us as well as being a fantastic, knowledgeable tour guide. We really appreciated all that he did and the countless photos he took of us as well. He also dropped us off at our hotel Skaret by Vander so that was greatly appreciated as well. Overall, a 5/5 experience. Will definitely come back to go again to Tromsø with this tour!

Amazing company with great value ! - This was a amazing tour and there is a reason for all reviews being 5 star. The driver and guide were both amazing. Everything about the experience was great. New bus, small group, great guide who provided lot of information, great dinner and tea. Most importantly, we were taken to a great spot on a right time to view northern lights ! Not to forget, the value is also unbeatable compared to some larger operators. Thank you so much !

Fine but wait to book. - This was ok. Guides were knowledgable and did their best but I think the company should have cancelled given how cloudy it was. Overall, I would recommend checking the weather predictions yourself and waiting to book day of instead of booking weeks in advance

Find a different company - The guide for our trip, Diego was unprofessional. He started out by being 15 minutes late, making the group wait and being late out on a night that was very crowded with other tour groups getting to the good spots for Aurora watching first. on the way he didn’t seem to have any knowledge of the Aurora phenomenon, and could only provide a basic lecture on photography. When it came time to put on the thermal suits, we were left on our own with no assistance from him or the driver to get the suits on. This and other aspects of basic courtesy and hospitality were not met by our guide. We wound up seeing a faint Aurora, but most of the group were disappointed. Perhaps most annoying for me was this trip was advertised as a warm dinner provided. all we got to eat in Artic wearher conditions was a thin bowl of vegetable soup and a slice of stale bread. My family was hungry for the rest of the evening in the bitter cold. There are many other well qualified operators in the Tromsoe area. We had had a fantastic experience with a different company the night before. I recommend not choosing this group.
