What a magic!

Bus trip to a camp selected according to the weather conditions of the day. Our guide Paolo was very friendly, enthusiastic and really excited to share. The camp offers unlimited soup and hot drinks.

Great tour with enthousiastic guide

We had a great tour with guide Anastasia en driver Morton. We left Tromsø with a lot of clouds, but within 20 minutes we were lucky to see the northern lights thanks to the guide who spotted it (and had good contact with other guides). Anastasia took a lot of time to make great pictures of everybody with the lights. Also, she gave us a lot of information about Tromsø and the northern lights. We really enjoyed it and can recommend this tour.

Operator response

Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We’re happy to hear that you had a great tour and that you were able to see the northern lights despite the cloudy start in Tromsø. It’s nice to know that Anastasia and Morten took good care of you. We will gladly pass your feedback on to them, they will be very happy to hear it. We hope to welcome you back to Tromsø in the future. Best regards, Best Arctic

Brilliant Bus Aurora Trip

We went out on the big bus Aurora tour and had a great experience seeing the Aurora dancing in the sky after an initially cloudy and grim forecast. Our guide was Paolo and you couldn't ask for a better person to lead a tour, knowledgeable, helpful and enthusiastic throughout. This was our third attempt of the trip to see the lights and this was by far the best and most enjoyable. Anastasia was also great at the lodge for getting everyone outside when the lights were picking up! Being at a lodge you have the option of warming up and being fed! Highlight of our trip and would highly recommend

Operator response

We're very happy to hear that you enjoyed the Aurora tour with the Big Bus and that you were happy with the guiding. We will pass on this positive feedback to our guides. :-)) Being able to warm up at the camp is definitely an advantage when joining the tour with the big bus. Once again, we would like to thank you for sharing your feedback with us and we hope to welcome you again soon. Best regards, Best Arctic

The best guides of whole Norway

I had an amazing experience on my Tromsø Aurora trip! The whole tour was well-organized, and the scenery was absolutely breathtaking. A huge shoutout to our guides, Anastasia and Mark—they were incredibly helpful, knowledgeable, and made the experience even more enjoyable. They went above and beyond to ensure everyone was comfortable and had the best chance to see the Northern Lights. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tromsø!

Fantastic

Booked short in advance, went fine. We thought at first, big bus, probably a bit touristy. But it was fantastic! Very good guide (Fabian) top driver. Lots of explanations and a beautiful camp where we went. Ploughing through the deep snow and then seeing beautiful northern lights on the shore. So many and bright northern lights. And the nice thing was the enthusiasm of the guide, who seemed to enjoy it most. The guide didn't want to leave at all, but he had to, because everyone had to go back to Tromso. Nice soup and sandwiches by the wood stove. Really enjoyed it!

Operator response

We are happy to hear that you truly enjoyed the snowy tour, almost as much as you guide Fabian :) Your feedback will be forwarded to him and the camp hosts.

A fantastic aurora chasing tour.

The aurora borealis today was incredible. I saw green and pink. They flowed as if they were dancing. Absolutely fantastic! The tour guide was incredibly responsible and enthusiastic. There was an adorable little dog at the campsite. Dinner was great, and the hot cocoa was delicious. I especially loved the firewood there. The price is also reasonable and worthy.
