Once in a lifetime experience! - Absolutely incredible northern lights tour—easily the highlight of our trip. Our guides were born and raised on an island north of Tromsø, so their local knowledge really showed. The conditions were challenging with lots of clouds, rain, and snow, but they kept searching and adjusting locations until we found clear breaks—and were rewarded with amazing views of the lights. It really is all about patience! They stopped a couple of times before finding the perfect spot, and the effort paid off. We had several chances to get photos taken, and they turned out fantastic—something we’ll treasure. Transportation was comfortable in a Mercedes Sprinter, and they also provided sandwiches, chocolate cake, plus hot chocolate and tea, which made the whole experience even better. Truly a memorable and well-run tour.

Arctic Glow Team - back anytime - With the Arctic Glow team around Geir Inge & Kine we made a really fantastic trip into the world of the Northern Lights: a small group in a top vehicle, very friendly and knowledgeable support, assistance to take good photos ourselves, uncomplicated booking at the very last minute... ...and the great fortune of seeing the aurora borealis for a good hour. There is no guarantee of a sighting - and despite all the prediction apps, even the experts at Arctic Glow say that you can only predict 1 hour before if "the green" shows up. So you should consider it a trip to the polar night, where you are lucky enough to be offered a magnificent spectacle.

best northern lights experience 💚 - first & best northern lights tour!!!!!! we went on 8th march after being recommended by 1 of our friend in singapore and absolutely no regrets :) our tour was booked for 7th march at first but was cancelled and informed beforehand due to bad weather. we then rescheduled for the 8th and even though it was a little cloudy, the guide Kine was so patient and professional in leading us to see the lights, bringing us to different spots to wait for the lights to appear! we also got hot chocolate, bread with brown cheese & chocolate cake to end the tour! they also offered to drop us off near our accoms as it was late when the tour ended. could not recommend this tour guide more!!!!!!

Experiencing the Northern... - Experiencing the Northern Lights was absolutely breathtaking and exceeded all my expectations! As darkness fell, vibrant green and purple ribbons began dancing across the night sky, shifting and swirling in a magical, silent display. The ethereal glow painted the heavens, creating a once-in-a-lifetime spectacle that felt truly otherworldly. Every moment was awe-inspiring—no photo could capture its real beauty. The clear, crisp night and perfect viewing conditions made it even more unforgettable. This natural wonder left me speechless, filled with wonder and pure joy. It’s an unmissable adventure that touches your soul, a priceless memory I’ll cherish forever. Highly recommend chasing this incredible phenomenon!

You won't be disappointed. This tour was first rate. - I researched every available tour on viator before choosing Arctic Glow. Honestly, the 5 star reviews and the relatively low cost of the tour were the main deciding factors. I needn't have worried. From start to finish, the tour exceeded our expectations. We were taken to a private beach where we could enjoy a dazzling light show by the aurora in private - no need to chase the lights (we were lucky that solar activity was high that night), no other noisy groups and crowds; it was a really serene unrushed experience. Our group was led by Kine, who was fantastic, had great local knowledge and took really good care of us all. We were kept warm with a most welcome hot chocolate just when the cold was setting in and were fed local snacks, including Kine's homemade spice cake. Thank you for a really memorable trip.

A personal northern lights tour with a Norwegian flare - Our two guides were fantastic, knowledgable and passionate. They gave us a lot of information about how the northern lights are formed. It was lovely because in our five days in Tromso, with multiple tours booked, they were the only Norwegian guides we had. This made it special as they could tell us more about living in and around Tromso and growing up on a northern island. They also gave us Norwegian snacks - brown cheese on rye bread and a homemade cake! That was needed. It was not the best night for the lights, however, they took us to a remote place and waited until they arrived. We were not disappointed. They took photos of us and helped to get the settings right on my own camera to see them clearly. After the solar activity finished, we slowly made our way back to the city. The guides kept stopping to check we were not missing anything.
