Excelent experience with the guides Liam, Jonas e Patrick.
All of the 5* reviews can’t lie - this is the best experience. Jonas and Ivan were great, all aspects of this tour are exceptionally organised. You have to be lucky with the conditions for the aurora, obviously, but if you get that luck, you won’t have to worry about anything else due to the professionalism, humour, photography skills, and friendliness of these guides. Recommend!
We changed up last minute and booked this tour a day earlier than we were supposed to go - the weather seemed a little less cloudy. We were lucky enough to have Owen as our host. While he has only been in the country for 3-4 years, his knowledge of the lights and surrounding areas is vast. He was an excellent speaker and genuinely interested in his job - which is very refreshing now a days! The tour is long and the mini buss is uncomfortable if fully packed. One thing to note: they do not supple water - but you do stop at one gas station on your way to see the lights.
We did a tour with a different top rated company the night before, so we can compare with this one. An absolutely unforgettable experience, and so much of it was thanks to Owen! We’ve done many tours during our travels, and we can genuinely say that Owen is the best tour guide we’ve ever had. You can immediately tell how passionate he is about what he does. His stories, enthusiasm, and the way he explained the science behind the Northern Lights made the whole experience so much more special. He was also incredible at actually chasing the aurora. His knowledge and effort paid off, and he managed to take us to the most spectacular Northern Lights show we’ve ever seen. It was truly magical and something we will never forget. The whole evening was very well organized. The meal was delicious, and our driver was wonderful — the ride was so smooth and comfortable that we didn’t end up nearly as tired as we expected. Owen truly made this experience exceptional. His kindness, knowledge, passion, and genuine excitement for the Northern Lights made all the difference. If you’re lucky enough to have him as your guide, you’re in the best hands. Thank you, Owen, for giving us one of the absolute highlights of our trip to Norway! 🇳🇴✨
Lack of coordination and professionalism in tour management. The spot selected was very windy and had bright moon light. Not the good spot for watching . Need to ask for warm.clothes and shoes if require. Stopped the vehicle on return in middle of highway to check the lights.
Dear Tushar, thank you for the feedback. Unfortunately, when the moon is up and the sky is clear, we can't hide from it no matter where we go, just as we cannot hide from the sun when it is up unless we go indoors. But being outside under clear skies is exactly what we need on our Chases; without it, there is no aurora to see at all. Wind is part of being in the Arctic and in nature. The spot we chose that night wasn't windy by local standards, and it had the clearest sky and the most stable conditions around, which held all night. These are exactly the conditions we look for to see the Northern Lights. We carry all our winter suits and boots in the vehicle and offer them when we reach our spot, just as we did on arrival that day. Since our vehicle is heated and the drive is long, it would be far too warm and bulky to wear them on the drive. Arriving sweaty only leaves you colder once you step outside, so we try not to have our guests overheating before they are out in the cold. Finally, the two stops on the way back were at safe spots that all operators use on that stretch of road. We stopped because the Northern Lights appeared again, and as you saw, we caught them at both stops before they faded. Not stopping would have meant every guest on our tour would have lost the chance to witness a potentially stronger display. When the lights are out, however briefly, our priority is always to give our guests the best chance to see them. We understand that everyone comes with their own hopes for the night. However, we are truly passionate about the Northern Lights, and we not only want to catch every display we can, but also give our guests the best possible chance to enjoy them with us. The decisions we made that night are the same ones that let us find the aurora on most of our Chases, and we hope this insight into those choices reassures you that we made every decision to give you the best experience and chance we could.
We had an absolutely wonderful night chasing the Northern Lights, with Owen as our fantastic guide and Ivan expertly handling the driving. Their genuine enthusiasm, warmth, and hospitality made the entire experience truly special. From breathtaking sunset views over the fjords and cascading waterfalls to a cozy bonfire and a delicious dinner under the open sky, every moment was magical. And then came the highlight — the Aurora dancing beautifully across the horizon, surrounded by a sky filled with countless stars. It was an unforgettable evening, filled with nature, warmth, laughter, and a little bit of magic. We honestly couldn’t have asked for more. 💚✨ Thank you, Owen and Ivan, for such an incredible experience. Highly recommended for anyone dreaming of an unforgettable Northern Lights adventure!
This small group tour was absolutely amazing! Massive shout-out to Liam, Jonas and Patryk. They were so thoughtful and took fantastic care of our whole group. This trip created such a special memory for us, something we will never forget. We loved every minute, fully recommend this tour!
My 6th time with Chasing Lights in Tromso. Liam and Jonas were experts in chasing the northern lights, and were very considerate in attending to our tour group's needs.
We had a wonderful night chasing the Northern Lights with Eigi and Jonas guiding, and Marcin doing the driving. This team and their colleagues in the other mini busses communicated the whole night in order to give everyone the opportunity to see the sky open up. It started off cloudy, ur they were determined to keep us entertained, well fed, and having fun, all while keeping their own eyes on the sky. The night did not disappoint and we saw a glimmer of green turn into a fully lit up sky as the team stopped the van and gave us amazing views and photos over the course of an hour. Thank you so much for your professionalism and determination. We arrived back in our hotel by 2:45am, but the long night was well worth it!
