Tromso Tours

We had such a great experience that day! :) Firstly, everything was very well organized. We received a mail the day before the tour that it was fully booked and that everyone should arrive at the meeting point earlier for a smooth start. MS Gabriele was very spacey, there were tables to sit at and comfortable seats. At the bar in the centre of the boat, people could always buy drinks and snacks. One way was approximately 2 hours, but our guides were giving really interesting information about the whales and the arctic all the time. Also, we were always allowed to stay on deck and observe the ride. Then, when we finally arrived at the whale watching spot, our guide Martina would be outside with us, instructing everyone where to look at, what to look for, etc. We saw plenty of whales, some tails - it was really, really nice and an unforgettable experience! :)

Staff was nice, the boat was neat and well maintained. Views were spectacular. If you are in Tromso, do not miss this tour.

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.

The trip was very well organised, and we had a wonderful and memorable evening reindeer sledding, feeding the reindeer and even seeing the Northern Lights. The supper provided was tasty, and in cosy sorroundings of a large yert-like tent; and the unexpected star was the Sami guy (I have no idea how to spell his Sami name) who gave us a short, but fascintaing insight into the life of a Sami reindeer herder. The only negative point I would raise is that at the meeting point there were several tours all departinng at the same time; a sign board would have gone a long way to make joining the tour a little less confusing. Having said that, we had a great night, and I would recommend the tour.

Guides really energetic and fun people, we managed to see the lights and that particular day was intense activity, they brought us to a parking lot without lights close by Hatteng and stay there almost 4 hours ensuring we see a peak of intensity.

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!

This tour was worth every penny! Our guide was knowledgeable and went out of his way to make sure we got the best view of the Northern Lights. The unlimited time really made a difference, and the photos he took were stunning. Highly recommend this if you’re in Tromsø!
