    An absolutely incredible Northern Lights experience! Our guide, Max, was phenomenal. You can immediately tell how deeply he loves his job; his passion is truly contagious. He isn’t just an expert at hunting the Aurora, but also a fantastic storyteller who made the whole trip engaging, warm, and memorable. Despite the terrible, cloudy weather in Tromsø, Max knew exactly where to go and effortlessly found a spot with perfectly clear skies for us to witness the lights. He went above and beyond to ensure we had the best possible experience. If you are in Tromsø and want a guaranteed amazing time chasing the lights, booking a tour with Max is a must. Highly recommended!"

    What an incredible experience! Harry (our guide) and Martin (our driver) were absolutely outstanding. Harry kept us constantly updates about the weather and solar activity and explained everything about the Aurora Borealis so clearly. When conditions changed, they didn’t hesitate to drive from Norway all the way to Finland to find clear skies - and it paid off! We saw the northern lights explode and dance with our own eyes. Truly magical. Harry took amazing photos of us, and we ended the night with hot chocolate and sausages in a cosy spot. The tour was extremely well organized and much more exclusive than others. We did the same tour the night before with another company, and this one was by far the best! Yes it’s slightly more expensive - but 100% worth it! A once-in-a- lifetime experience !

    It was a great day. We did the Arctic Nature Tour. The guide tells a lot about everything and is enthusiastic. We have been to the most beautiful places. The guide also takes some beautiful pictures of you. A day to never forget! I definitely recommend booking an excursion here

    Both the guide and the driver were amazing. I have find many tours in the past but never felt such warmth. The travel was smooth, the detailed explanation was solid(Max is a geologist, he knows his stuff😅). The light show was something else. We had some very tasty hot chocolate, sausages by the fire and a nice small tour group. Max is also a great photographer. He took some brilliant pictures of the experience. Overall, you have to be a part of this experience. Made my trip totally worth it. Just go for it.

    Totally recommend them. They have a job to show you the lights and they take this job extremely seriously. We were there last week and the weather in Tromso was really bad and honestly we lost hopes to see the lights but they drove us all the way into Finland near a beautiful frozen lake where we had campfire and we got to see the lights. Loved their dedication towards their work. Totally go for it.

    Magical experience

    To be honest I though it was imposible to see auroras last night, but it was incredible. Im absolutely in love (and jealous) with the energy of Max. He was so nice with us, told us a lot of info about the auroras and he found a place magical together with Dominic (our talented driver ✨). I travelled alone and both of them were good not only in auroras, but also talkative and making people feel integrated. The size of the group was quite nice, few of us, not too little no too much. It took 1h something to arrive the place and we were so lucky there that we did not have to change place. Food and chocolate was incredible ❤️‍🩹. It was perfect, thank you so much!!!!
