Was picked up at the designated meeting point and on our way to try and see some northern lights. The driver talked endlessly while on the road, which was pretty amusing, but at some points it was hard to hear (he was using a kind of intercom and narrating to all 3 vehicles). They tried a spot near Stranda beach. It looked like the lights were out, but it was way too cloudy. We had some hot drinks at this spot. We tried one more spot before calling it quits. Disappointing but it happens sometimes (we had a great show the night prior out of Tromso). However, I would have rather had a cancelled tour for poor visibility. No refund was issued, since the attempt had been made.

We were picked up from our Hotel with a few other guests (11 of us in all in two mini buses). The guide was very informative during the journey to the location to where we stopped in search of the aurora. We waited patiently, but not too long and the aurora appeared. We were at the end of the aurora season so the sightings weren't necessarily going to be really powerful, but once the aurora arrived it was pretty good. We took tripods and were given advice on how to photograph the aurora and the orange glow from the sun which had set earlier in the evening. We were offered a nice hot chocolate drink which warmed us through on a cold evening. We were out nearly four hours in all and dropped back at our hotel. It was an excellent evening.
Thank you so much for the wonderful review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the evening and managed to experience the aurora, especially towards the end of the season when nature can sometimes be a little shy. It’s great to hear the photography advice, hot chocolate, and relaxed pace all helped make the experience memorable. Four hours in the Arctic cold definitely earns both aurora photos and an extra appreciation for warm drinks 😄 Thanks again for joining us!
We were booked for this tour for 2 nights running. The first night was cancelled at 6:30pm for an 8pm pickup. The reason given was “circumstances beyond our control”….and we were given a text guarantee that we would “100%” go the following night. We understood things can happen and looked forward to the following night as the weather forecast was very good. Then the following day at 4:15pm (for 8pm pickup!) we were told that there was “no prospect of clear skies and deteriorating road conditions”. This was perplexing to us as the skies were beautiful and clear and there was no wind. We cannot accept the weather-excuse given and another local guide also thought it was odd! The sky remained clear and no wind developed that night. We were lucky enough to see the northern lights outside our accommodation that night, but we will never know what it would have been like to see them away from the township lights. We were given a full refund, but what we wanted was the experience. We noticed a cruise ship come in to dock on both of the nights that our tour was cancelled. If you travel from the other side of the world it is very disappointing and therefore we cannot recommend this tour.
We are genuinely very sorry for your disappointment, especially after travelling such a long way and booking two nights with us. We completely understand how frustrating this must have felt. However, we must respectfully clarify that our cancellation decisions are never influenced by cruise ship arrivals or prioritising other guests. Safety and the realistic chances of delivering a worthwhile experience are always the deciding factors. In Arctic winter, conditions can vary dramatically across short distances and forecasts can change quickly, particularly regarding road safety, ice, snow, and visibility. While the skies may have appeared clear from Svolvær later in the evening, our decisions are made earlier using multiple forecasts, live road reports, local knowledge, and conditions across the wider region where tours may operate. Unfortunately, there are nights where local clear skies do not translate into safe or viable conditions for a long-duration aurora chase. We fully appreciate that a refund cannot replace the experience you hoped for, and we are truly sorry we could not provide the evening you were looking forward to.
Awersome!!!! At first we saw the northern lights a little, the guide said: „We have to just waited for awhile! Then one hour later the Aurora was coming! My fingers were frozen because the cold but it was worth!!!!
Thank you so much for the fantastic review! Aurora hunting always requires a little patience, and sometimes the sky likes to tease us before finally putting on the real show. We’re so happy it all came together for you in the end! Frozen fingers are basically the official souvenir of a successful northern lights tour in Norway 😄 Thanks again for joining us!
I booked this tour , and the pick up time is 8pm, they said they will pick me up at my hotel. Now it is almost 9 but still nobody comes to pick me up. I tried to connect them by phone and WhatsApp, but still no response.
We are very sorry to read this. This is absolutely not the level of service we aim to provide. Unfortunately, on rare occasions delays can happen due to weather, road conditions, traffic, or communication issues during busy tour operations, but you should always receive an update from us. We sincerely apologise for the frustration caused and appreciate you bringing this to our attention.
Excellent experience. Very competent and friendly guides. We had the chance to see a lot of Northern Lights that evening in all colors, greens, reds and all shapes. The photos taken by the guides were amazing. The guides' explanations were relevant and interesting. The chosen spot allowed us to see many auroras in different directions. We enjoyed the hot chocolate.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review. I’m delighted to hear you had such a great aurora experience with us. Seeing northern lights in multiple colours and shapes is always something special, and it sounds like you had one of those truly memorable nights under the Arctic sky. It’s also great to hear that you enjoyed the explanations from the guides and the photos they captured for you. We always try to help guests both understand the aurora and go home with some amazing memories of the night. And of course, hot chocolate under the northern lights always makes the experience even better! Thank you for joining us on the hunt, and we’re very happy you had such a fantastic evening in Lofoten.
Super organized. Cool guides. Lots of interesting facts about the country and people. Hot spots and of course the Northern Lights seen. Indescribably beautiful.
Thank you very much for the great review. I’m really glad to hear you enjoyed the experience and that our guides helped make it both fun and informative. We always try to combine the best locations with interesting stories about the landscape, history, and life in Lofoten. And of course, seeing the northern lights is the highlight. When they appear in the sky above these islands it really is something unforgettable. Thank you for joining us, and we’re very happy you had such a memorable evening in Lofoten.
We saw the most amazing aurora display, largely thanks to the patience and dedication of our guide. He took us out to good, dark location, and was utterly determined that we should see the lights. He'd also brought along hot drinks for everyone, and created a lovely, chatty, friendly atmosphere in the group. We didn't have much luck and time was running out, but on the drive back he kept looking, and finally we saw a magnificent display! Really grateful for all his hard work and skill, and also many explanations and help with camera settings. Everyone got great photos - both their own, and the ones that he took and provided the next day. Fantastic service, and I would thoroughly recommend this company.
Thank you very much for the fantastic review. I’m really happy to hear you had such a memorable aurora experience. Sometimes the northern lights keep us waiting a little, but patience, persistence, and a bit of local knowledge often pay off in the end. It sounds like you were rewarded with a truly spectacular display. I’m also glad you enjoyed the atmosphere during the evening. We always try to keep the experience relaxed and friendly, with warm drinks, good conversation, and plenty of help with cameras so everyone can capture the moment. It’s great to hear that everyone went home with some beautiful photos as well. Those memories under the Arctic sky are what it’s all about. Thank you for joining us and for the recommendation, it means a lot to our small team here in Lofoten.
We have had a great show. Thanks!! About a 1000 foto's from a great spot. We have had a lot of information about aurora and the stars!
Thank you for the great review. I’m really happy to hear you had such a good aurora experience and found a great spot for the show. When the northern lights decide to perform, it can be hard to stop taking photos, so 1000 images sounds about right! It’s also nice to hear that you enjoyed learning more about the aurora and the night sky during the tour. We always try to combine the experience of seeing the lights with a bit of insight into what’s happening above us. Thanks again for joining us, and we’re very glad you had such a memorable night in Lofoten.
Went out with maurice. It was storming and raining all day so we thought: this is not going to be it. But we also thought: you have to have confidence in your guide and that confidence turned out to be justified. Despite rain, hail, wet snow and a huge amount of wind, maurice and Christian managed to find beautiful clearings and the northern lights clearly showed themselves. Maurice has taken beautiful pictures of us and is an enthusiastic hunter without losing sight of our safety. It was very cold and we were well looked after by maurice and Christian with hot drinks. It was the highlight of our trip so far. Thanks to our enthusiastic guides, we look back on an unforgettable magical evening. Unfortunately I can't add photos because they are on my phone but I do have them and I'm going to relive them. Thank you so much guys.
Thank you very much for the wonderful review. I’m really glad to hear you had such a memorable night, especially with such challenging weather. In Lofoten that can sometimes be part of the adventure, and it’s great to hear that Maurice and Christian were able to find clear spots and give you a proper northern lights experience despite the rain, hail, wind, and snow. Maurice will be very happy to hear your kind words. He is a very dedicated aurora hunter and always works hard to find the best possible conditions while keeping everyone safe and comfortable. I’m also glad the hot drinks helped keep the cold away during the wait. It’s fantastic to hear that the evening became the highlight of your trip. Those magical nights under the northern lights are exactly what we hope our guests will experience. Thank you again for joining us, and we’re very happy we could be part of such a special memory from your time in Lofoten.
