Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

    We had a really good time on the northen lights hunt tour despite not being able to properly see the lights. Our tour guide Lucas was lovely and very knowledgeable, giving us information on the local culture, science being the lights and even recomdations for things to do and places to eat. We enjoyed ourselves so much we booked the same tour again the following evening, again not being able to see the lights but still had a good time regardless. We and wandering owl did everything right but mother nature had clouds on the agender. This is the risk you take when trying to see natural beauty after all! Lucas and the drivers did all they could to get us a good view of the dancing lights and made both evenings really fun with a lovely camp fire and food, shout out to Larry for his tasty soup and cookies! I would highly recommend using wandering owl for a northen lights tour in Tromsø, keep your fingers crossed for a clear sky and enjoy the evening regardless of nature's plans!

    Great Guide, carefully and reasonably driving Co-worker and a bit of luck led to this tremendous adventure a few days ago. Although the weather was really not ideal, we were welcomed in good mood by Jessica who has fallen in love with Northern Lights and who was able to „transport“ this message to the group! The bit of luck - well, if during that night there was any gap in the sky we found it close to the Vorderpfote Finland and it was worth the drive and worth the patience! Great lights, hot drinks and expedition food made that night unforgettable!

    Our big bus chase guides were Bailey and Dain - they were incredibly knowledgeable, always happy to help with cameras and they really had a passion for the northern lights! They were as excited as we were and kept things interesting by telling us the science and some myths and legends behind the lights. We went all the way to the border to Finland and it was well worth it as you can see by the photos. Our driver Pawel was absolutely brilliant and his expertise went far further than driving us safely (which was a challenge in itself as it was very icy/snowy!). He had his own camera setup which he was happy to show us and every time something changed in the sky we got a big cheer from him - his excitement was really contagious!

    The trip to chase the Northern Lights was very interesting. Sara, our guide, was very knowledgeable about the lights and knew how to tell a story and facts without too much theoretical stuff. It was fun and exciting.

    We stopped in a few locations to check the Aurora Borealis's activity, and we could see it in 2 amazing spots. With Sara was Gabriela, who is also a guide and a very good one. She was the person who took patiently and professionally our photos, in the best possible point of view, for us and, of course, for the Northern Lights.

    I highly recommend them! Oh, They also served us the best hot chocolate I drank in Tromso and some delicious cookies. The bus was comfy and warm, and the driver, drove us very smoothly through all the way, despite the bad weather we took on our way back.

    We visited Tromso for a week, hoping to get to see the Northern lights. The weather hadn’t been very kind to us, with cloudy and snowy days pretty much the whole week. So at first we were a bit worried we wouldn’t get to see any aurora at all but after speaking to our guide, Andrei, he reassured us the weather changes very quickly in Norway and he would do his best for us all to see the Northern Lights. We decided to trust his professional expertise and experience and we were not disappointed. Andrei was a fantastic guide, very friendly, welcoming and knowledgeable. He truly went above and beyond, driving us to different places, scanning the sky at all times and being in contact with other tour operators around Tromso to check how the weather was in different areas and checking for solar activity. The weather was really playing against him but he truly worked so hard to find suitable spots for us to enjoy the aurora. He informed us of the plan for the night as we drove off and kept us updated throughout the night regarding any changes. After driving around chasing clear skies, Andrei found a nice spot for us to stop. I had forgotten my tripod and he very kindly lent me one of his, meaning I got to take wonderful shots of the aurora. Andrei also set up two small bonfires for us to keep warm in the cold winter night as we waited for the Northern lights, serving hot drinks and plenty of chocolate cake - which was delicious and much appreciated. It was clear he had a passion for astronomy and photography - two interests I shared with him - and he explained all the science behind the Northern lights to us all. As the solar activity was present but not very strong - something nobody can do anything about - Andrei decided to stay at our spot well over our planned time, at no extra cost, clearly trying to do his best for us to see the aurora as best as we could. He even warmed the minibus up for anyone who preferred waiting inside rather than outside in the cold.
    Really great guide and wonderful tour, would highly recommend. Of course, cloudy sky and solar activity are beyond anyone's control, but he truly worked so hard to give us the best possible tour.

    Full boat but the crew were polite and kept things well run. Chill day out on the water, the underwater drone was a highlight.

    This was such a great experience regardless of how faint the Aurora was. The tour guide Yustyna took care of us big time! We went to a remote area, built a small camp, and kept a lookout for the northern lights. She came well prepared with appropriate gear and food/snacks for us and took very great photos of the group. We jumped around a little bit to get different vantage points of aurora too, we almost went to Finland because of the weather.

    I will say, nature will go its course and the northern lights might not come out in some cases. Be prepared for that and do not blame this tour agency nor any tour agency regardless. This outfit will definitely do their due diligence to make sure you see it.
    Also, come well dressed! It is extremely cold at night.

    to me, the true measure of success and is defined by how challenges are handled. and chasing the northern lights with the green adventure team was a success from the start to end. We arrived in Tromso on a difficult week due to rain and rising temperatures. Robert and his team emailed us hours beforehand with full transparency explaining that the chances of seeing the lights may be lower due to the weather. He gave us the option of a full refund or a chance to try the hunt with them. We took the chance and are so glad we did! The drive was filled with educating us on how to track the skies, jokes, music and light hearted conversations. Luke & Rob drove us close to Finland to find some lights and we were able to fulfill a lifelong dream of seeing the skies dance! They are so generous with taking beautiful pictures of everyone too! Thanks to their expertise and skill, we got engaged under the stars and lights!! We will be recommending The Green Adventure to everyone we know and will spend the rest of our lives thankful for this once in a lifetime experience! Thank you guys again!

    Arctic Explorers Tromso deserves a special mention here on TripAdvisor for the exceptional experience - special shoutout to our passionate guide Angel and driver of the night (68 year old Tromso native) for making the night a memorable one.

    On 31 Oct 2024, thanks to Angel for the excellent location recce and getting us bundled in thermal suits and boots before our expedition begun, the group was able to enjoy the spectacular show of a circular band of glowing green (and pink) that arced across the northern sky, and the ring-like formation shifting and undulating in dynamic waves and curtains. As we anticipated the arrival of the Aurora Borealis, the astrophile in us were not forgotten as Angel unreservedly shared his astrology knowledge and led us down the Milky Way.

    To give further context, spirits were high as we gathered around a campfire, lapping up hot soup and chocolate as well as melty marshmallow thoughtfully prepared by the Angel and his team. Under a sky full of the brightest stars, life seemed truly complete in that moment.

    Thanks again to Angel and our driver for the top-notch service and memory of a lifetime, and suggesting to drive us up to Finland in the event of unfavourable activity up the Tromso sky (when this was clearly non-obligatory)!

    Very nice tour. Guides were very knowledgeable. It was a cloudy and snowy night, but our guides didn't give up, going to several locations before we saw the Aurora. Our guides provided warm beverages and snacks. The driver was very careful and skilled.

    Arbo was a wonderful guide. He drove a long time, way into Finland, to find us clear skies so our wishes could come true: we saw beautifulNorthern Lights! An amazing show for several hours.
    Arbo patiently took photos of us all and his enthusiasm made us feel like the evening was special for him too.
    After a lovely time around the campfire with delicious soup and hot chocolate, he carefully drove us back to Tromso through difficult driving conditions. He even stopped along the way to let us take photos of a wondering group of reindeers. A perfect end to a magical night in the Arctic

    I chose to do the dinner cruise as another way to try and see the northern lights. The whole experience lasted about 3-4 hours and I had expected us to go into areas where there was less artificial light, but actually this was a trip along the coast side of Tromso so there was always some light from the towns. We did not see the northern lights at all until the last 15 minutes as we arrived back into Tromso. That was fantastic of course but I would have thought that sticking to areas where there was man-made lights would reduce the chances of seeing the lights.

    The food was advertised as Scandinavian which I was keen to sample. However I was caught by surprise when the main course was lukewarm cod - not hot, not cold - but tepid. The crew tried to tell that that was how it was supposed to be served but I couldn’t eat it. The rest was good.

    There were presentations by the various crew members. The lead guy was Ivan and he was excellent, brought high energy to the audience and entertained. There was one member that gave a 5-10 minute scientific explanation of the northern lights which was good. But there was one member that droned on for about 20+ minutes about his personal experiences of flora and fauna in the area. It did suck the energy out of the room so didn’t love that. I was there for fun, not a lecture.

    Overall a pretty good experience but there were definitely ways in which it could have been improved.
