Tromso for nature lovers

Căpitanul a fost foarte prietenos și chiar ne-a gătit o supă de pește minunată. Din păcate, nu am văzut aurora deoarece vremea a fost foarte noroasă. Dar, în general, ne-am simțit bine pe barcă.

Good food, well organized, no northern lights. I've seen the Aurora as part of a bus chase, but there was some light pollution. With the boat, we're really very far from any city and it's almost completely dark in some areas, so I can imagine it would be fantastic to see the Northern Lights on this trip, but you need some luck. The dinner was good and the crew attentive. I wouldn't do it if I knew in advance we wouldn't see the lights, since then it's just an expensive, though pleasant, dinner in a boat. But of course that is impossible to predict and you may want to try your luck.

An unforgettable experience, our guide Carlos M was charming and very friendly. Your explanations were very useful to us. We were able to enjoy the auroras and it was an incredible moment! Highly recommended!!!

Efficient transportation, helpful orientation, and provision of thermal suits. Despite being accustomed to freezing US winters (-20 to -40 Fahrenheit not uncommon in late December) and being dressed in layers, including parkas, we were freezing. So TAKE THE SUITS when offered. The lavvu was very warm, so the layers were helpful after running in and out to see the lights before dinner. Our hosts were very flexible with the hot drinks, the meal was simple and beautifully presented. The sledding and reindeer feeding was a hoot, the lights were slowly starting to grow as we finished the ride and a full moon/stars complemented the beautiful scenery. Leaving Tromsø in the evening, as charming as the city is, was the best plan we made. Our Sami guides were equally charming during a conversational culture lesson. None of it felt rushed or rehearsed. It happened to be New Years Eve and after a wonderful evening the bus ride included sparkling, crystal clear snow and the start of fireworks EVERYWHERE along the harbour. Even if Lady Aurora is shy, the people, animals and country are worth the trip. Thanks to everyone who made it a special New Years Eve. Highlight of the trip for 17 AND 22 year old children, as well as their parents.

Excursia a fost foarte bine organizată și am avut parte de o seară minunată și memorabilă în care ne-am dat cu sania trasă de reni, am hrănit renii și chiar am văzut aurora boreală. Cina oferită a fost gustoasă și în împrejurimile confortabile ale unui cort mare de yert; iar vedeta neașteptată a fost tipul sami (habar nu am cum se scrie numele său sami) care ne-a oferit o scurtă, dar fascinantă perspectivă asupra vieții unui păstor de reni sami. Singurul punct negativ pe care l-aș ridica este că la punctul de întâlnire erau mai multe tururi care plecau toate în același timp; un panou de semnalizare ar fi fost foarte util pentru a face aderarea la tur mai puțin confuză. Acestea fiind spuse, am avut o noapte minunată și aș recomanda turul.

Such an amazing experience! Our guide was super knowledgeable and patient, taking us to the best spots to catch the Northern Lights. He captured fantastic photos for everyone, and the hotel pickup made everything easy. This tour went above and beyond!
