The fjords and mountain ranges of Tromso are simply magical. Here, the northern lights sparkle across the same navy blue sky that's illuminated by the midnight sun. You'll be spellbound by Tromso's enchanting fishing villages, fragrant botanical gardens and crystalline waterfalls. Music is a major part of the Tromso culture, particularly techno and electronic music, which adds some thumping thunder to the city once a year during the annual Insomnia Festival.

Unfortunately, after a sunny day, the clouds came before departure. So no sunset. We did get the choice to get our money back, or get a trip around Tromsø. Everyone chose the last option. For me it was worth it. Amazing on this boat with speed and "playing" with the waves. Watching eagles and heron in "daylight" at night. The guide was really nice and knew a lot.

We had Karl as our guide, who I understand from other posts is no longer working at Green Fox Guiding. It's a small tour group - we had a full minibus of 8 people, and drove about 30-45 mins out of town (first to get firewood at the petrol station then to his friend's place), before stopping at a car park to view the faint lights. The night was partially cloudy so could only see some aurora activity. Note there are plenty of tour operators so we booked the day prior, all offering similar things. My only complaint is that when it's advertised having a tripod supplied, I was informed that you had to request for it specifically, despite no comments section when booking online. Only saving grace is using a camping stool as a make-shift tripod. Please make the website clearer.

This tour was so lovely! Govind was very friendly, knowledgable and great at looking after people in the cold outdoors. The lights came out to play, and it had been very cloudy weather so we were very lucky! He took some great professional pictures of the lights with us and sends them to us the next day. We had plenty of hot chocolate, biscuits and sausages which we cooked ourselves on an open fire. We did have to travel to Finland to get to the lights, but for me that added to the experience of being in a rural area and also shows that Govind really wanted to find the best spot for us. Recommend highly to book with Green Fox.

The whole experience was great! Markus did his best to make the trip very comfortable. Even though there was not that much aurora activity and it was very cloudy and even snowing, after a couple hours of driving by the Finish border Markus found an opening with very clear skies and we could see some aurora activities and have great shots of them. All in all a great experience.

Markus was an excellent guide on our private Northern Lights tour. We left Tromsø in the pouring rain and somehow he managed to find the lights. We had a wonderful show in two different locations and a bonfire with hot food, hot drinks and marshmallows. He took some fantastic photos which were shared with us the next morning. Overall, we had a really special night; without Markus I doubt we would have seen anything. I would highly recommend him as a guide - he is both friendly and extremely well informed.

This may be the beginning of a dream come true. Look no further, or read on if you are unsure! As some of the most experienced guides, we analyse weather predictions prior to every tour, and have close contact with a network of guides for the highest chances to see the Northern Lights. Our custom built 4x4 tour van, is fully equipped with everything we may need in the arctic, allowing us to discover remote scenery, reaching the more calm and peaceful places. As a small group of no more than 8 people, we pick you up at a central location, allowing us more time for finding, and seeing the Aurora earlier! With no two nights the same, our enthusiasm and dedication never fades. Upon reaching suitable skies, we will set up camp for the evening. Most of the time this is a shorter drive to the surrounding coastal islands of Tromsø, or if needed a longer drive into Finland. For more info visit our website!
Inclusions: Extra Small Group, up to 8 guests, New Comfortable Custom Built 4x4 tour van, Organic Homemade Vegan friendly Soup w. Bread, Cookies, Hot Beverages, Quality Tripods & Headlamps, Aurora portrait, Instructions on how to photograph the Aurora, Professional Photos from the Tour, Campfire, Thermal Suits, Hand & Foot warmers, Drop off at your Hotel/Accommodation on Tromsø Island

I was so lucky to have chosen this trip and Hannah gave the authenticity to the entire trip where she gave details and facts about every spot she took me to and the touch towards embracing the nature and wildlife. This one roadtrip had made my entire Tromsø trip a very memorable and worthy! I would love to come back to Tromsø and do many more trips! It exceeded more than what i expected. Kudos to Hannah and team and my heartfelt thanks!
