Tromso adventure with Geir and Kine (owners Arctic Glow) - I can not say enough good things about this tour. The company is owned by a couple (Geir, Kine) and they were wonderful. There had been a lot of cloud cover and snow. We were concerned that we would not find a clear sky. Our tour guides used all resources communication with other guides and iphone aps. Traveling North we found a clearing and jumped out. They had two professional photographers that did amazing. We saw wonderful lights. It was short but magnificent. Geir and Kine were concerned with safety, since we were near a road, so we all put on safety vests. After our initial viewing we drove further North and saw another small / short light show. Kine made muffins, hot chocolate and coffee. Be prepared to drive, they provided blankets, the travel vehicle was a new van. There are also no facilities so if nature calls you may have to head to the bushes. (Bring Kleenex just in case.) It was late, but we were delivered to our hotel ,which was nice. I would totally go again!! Thank you for a memorial tour.

Amazing - We went on the tour on November 28th. Shoja was great! He found a clearing in the skies and we stopped for our Aurora experience. Shoja worked tireslesslyto help everyone with photos and made sure we all had photos with the Aurora. Such a good time!

An incredible experience - Last year, I did this same tour with Arctic Glow and the experience was so good that I decided to do it again. And I’m glad I did. Once more, everything was perfect: the guides truly care about us, our comfort, and especially about finding the best possible spot to see the aurora. With no pressure to end the tour at a fixed time, they go as far as needed to make sure everyone has the best experience. They’re kind, attentive, take amazing photos, handle the snacks, and look after our safety in a very natural way. This was my second time with them — and it definitely won’t be the last. I’ll be coming back in the next years without hesitation. Thank you for letting me experience this impressive phenomenon in a right way! I highly recommend it.

Northern lights best experience - Geir, Kine and Sohja - from the greating moment to the good bye time both me and my mom we felt felt their engagement to give the best experience and care! Care and atmosphere is needed, because if the weather in Tromso is not best, they will do everything to find the clear sky and it might be long way and waiting time. So to make it easier they offered termic overalls, hot chocolate, sandwiches, and...the home made cake! The last one was sooo good that even if we wouldn't see the northern lights I'd still go there for the cake! We went 2 h away from Tromso, found the clear sky, at the beginning it wasn't that visible and it took a bit of time to see it coming stronger, but they warmed us up motivating, uplifting the spirit and explaining the parameters changing in time. We came back after 7 hours, tired but really happy and greateful we chose this tour to see the norther lights. Thank you Arctic Glow! Yes you do glow :)

Experienced staff, friendly and very polite - The team is sensational. Educated, cheerful and very friendly. They know a lot about the tour they offer. They are Norwegian and Finnish, and have been engaged in this type of tour for many years demonstrating a lot of experience. The guide is affectionate and the snacks served wonderful. They help us with the photos and respond very quickly. The next day they had already shared our photos. Super recommend. I'd do it with them again.

I highly recommend! - They're wonderful! Kine and her husband have care and attention with everyone little seen on other tours (we divided our tours into 3 agencies, so we were able to see the difference). You can feel that they really want us to have an amazing night and are dedicated to it. The homemade snacks and the family recipe cake make you feel welcome and learn a little more about the local culture. A service that every Brazilian likes! We recommend too!!

This is the right choice if you want the best of northern lights experience. - This Northern Lights tour was absolutely unforgettable. I read other travelers reviews and I chose it because of the guides. Geir Inge and Kine Mikkelsen, there were the reason it became so special. They were passionate, caring, and truly loved what they did. Everything was perfectly organized from pick up till drop off. They offered hot drinks, snacks specially the homemade cake. The bus was very comfortable and new. They made everyone feel comfortable and even helped capture the most beautiful photos. They super professionals in taking photos. I love all the photos from the tour. Watching the sky come alive with green light was pure magic, something I’ll never forget. Highly recommended to anyone who wants a real, heartfelt Northern Lights experience.

Great Northern Lights tour - We can only recommend this tour in a minibus. A small group is managed individually. The guides are very nice and friendly. They drive to very nice spots and if you are still lucky with the northern lights everything fit. Hot drinks and small, delicious snacks are offered. The whole package is coherent and certainly better than being driven in a large bus much more inflexibly.

The best! - Geir and Kine were so wonderful! They work so meticulously to craft a lovely experience that includes such warmth (figuratively and literally) and hospitality, as well as significant knowledge to maximise chances of seeing the northern lights! I felt very comfortable both with them and also knowing that they were giving us the best chance to see the northern lights at their best. We also felt very well fed! Thank you to you both again
