Caza de Auroras Boreales con The Green Adventure- fotos incluidas

Did this tour on 15 Feb. The guide+driver, JJ, was an experienced NL hunter, who introduced us to Tromsø and the Norwegian culture. It was indeed a NL chase as he constantly monitored and received updates on the weather and cloud cover, and we changed our viewing spots accordingly. Fortunately, our final stop of the night had beautiful dancing lights. At each stop, JJ set up his camera and tripod, and took gorgeous photos for us with the spectacular background of greens and blues. Local stew and hot chocolate were served at the final stop, where we roasted marshmallows by the campfire. Best evening of my Norway holiday!

i genuinely cannot recommend Northern Lights Hunt ENOUGH. i've been on Northern Light tours in Iceland, Finland, Sweden... and all were pretty great in their own ways - but this one really takes the cake. Of course it was all really down to our guide, JJ; without him, I don't think this experience would have been the same. he is honestly one of the most dogged and passionate Northern Lights guides i’ve ever met, and we even drove into Finland before we were finally treated to the most fantastical display there. His level of commitment is out of this world; and most importantly, he was also a calm, skilled, and responsible driver in winter conditions, which i really appreciated. and omg, his photography skills are INSANE. mind, not every guide is a professional even as the trip promises "photos", but you can tell JJ really has a craft in photography and wasn't just taking "tourist-like" photos as part of his job task. he knew exactly how to position us, work with the lighting, flash, and capture the aurora perfectly. all the photos i have attached here are taken by that were taken by him; just to show you this isn't all hyperbole. i would seriously have hired him just to be my photographer for my entire trip. 😂

We had a really lucky night and only had to chase the lights for a few hours before we found a great place where ate by camp fire and saw the lights in full bloom, he showed us how to take pictures on our phone but he professional ones were much better quality

I had high hopes for this company based on the reviews but it was very lacking. Our tour was full with 15 on 3/19. As soon as we were on the bus he told us to temper our expectations because it was cloudy everywhere and we had very little chance to see any lights. To me that meant they should have just canceled. I had a different activity that morning with another company canceled due to high winds & weather because they knew the experience wouldn’t be good which I respected. I know over the past few weeks even when the weather looked bleak, some were still able to find pockets with aurora, so I get it, but this was not a day like those. I have seen amazing vibrant/strong aurora displays 5 nights in a row in Alaska a year ago which gave me the “bug”. I didn’t have to chase them, just stepped outside my lodge each night and lasted 3-4hrs each time, with some lulls of just dim white whispy aurora scattered throughout, but even then my camera picked up beautiful color and they were very active, just more faint. Our guide I think was Antonio, from Spain. He said nothing on our 90min drive to the spot. And nothing on the way back either. Once at the spot he was busy making fire, getting our soup, giving us marshmallows and providing hot beverages. Which was nice and yes, takes some work and skies were cloudy. And occasionally he walked away to take some test shots if any aurora was around. The only 2 interactions he had with us was 1-asking where we were from & if we had seen aurora. 2-before we left this spot to “hunt” some more, he gave us a quick 3-min talk about aurora. We drove 10min to where there was the ever so faintest anything that looked like black sky nothingness to the naked eye. He took all of our photos. Then drove another 10min to another spot and still wasn’t great. Then we drove 90min back in silence with music playing. I am fully aware aurora can only mildly be predicted and weather is volatile on the coast. However given the lack of hope from the outset (since they didn’t want to cancel but should have) he could have at least shared on the drive more detailed info about auroras, folklore, as well as local culture in Norway and a bit about the areas we were driving past on the way since was twilight and we could still see the landscape. I already know how auroras happen from my Alaska trip and other research I’ve done, but many people in this group had never seen them and didn’t know much about it. Maybe other guides with this company are better but overall I don’t recommend. It felt like a money grab.

While it was unfortunate that we didn’t see the lights on our tour, it didn’t stop the guides from trying to get us the views. Despite the terrible weather, we tried multiple locations, the guide constantly checked the weather apps and with his colleagues, and traveled up to Finland looking for a gap in the clouds.

it was an awesomely amazing experience!!! thanks to antonio! he really put the chase into chasing the northern lights!!! and it was worth it!!! highly recommended andcworth the money we paid!! thank you for the effort in taling pur pictures too!!!

From pickup at the cruise ship until our return, JJ our guide, was amazing. His knowledge about the lights was incredible and he knew just the right spot for us to see them. He was constantly working; driving, teaching, making fire, cooking, and photographing. Every moment was wonderful and they should get six stars!

The tour was amazing as we saw the Northern Lights appear several times, we were very lucky. Jay Jay, hosted well and looked after us. We had a campfire to keep us warm, hot soup was provided for dinner followed by a hot chocolate and toasted marshmallows. Jay Jay kept us informed and updated on weather and our location. Great tour highly recommend.

JJ is an excellent guide! He is very informative and knowledfeable. Lucky to have such a great guide and see the amazing northen lights.
