We went to a beautiful location, extremely well organised, Margot, our guide was amazing, seating, campfire, hot chocolate and hotdogs by the fire, even a heated tent for a loo was great for the girls. Never to be forgotten. First Class tour. Whilst seeing the lights cannot be guaranteed the arrangements, location and guide were superb. Bonus, we saw an amazing display of lights which continued for 2 - 3 hours and then safely delivered back to our accomodation by the guide and her great driver, Gregor who also worked hard to set up and clear camp in double quick time at the end of the evening, to get us all on our way back to Tromso.

The overall experience was fantastic. Although the bus leader’s English wasn’t completely fluent, it never caused any communication issues. He was dedicated throughout the whole trip—sharing local culture and stories, explaining how to photograph the aurora with a camera, and making sure we didn’t get bored or sleepy during the long drive. We stopped at three different locations. At the largest one, the leader served us hot cocoa and actively searched for signs of the aurora for the group. I was incredibly lucky to witness beautiful, dancing northern lights. The leader also helped take many photos for us—completely free of charge. At the end of the tour, he even dropped me off near my accommodation. Since I’m someone who prefers not to engage in small talk within small group tours, the bus tour format suited me perfectly. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it!
