I had an amazing experience with this hotel. Room was clean. Sanjana & Divya were really nice with the guests.

We had both been on various aurora tours before and decided to go on another tour with Northern Norway Travel after two years. Just like the first time, everything was perfectly organized and even though the conditions weren't particularly good (clouds and only moderate solar activity), our driver Ole and our guide Kirstin found a great spot for taking photos and having a campfire after about a 2.5-hour drive. Everything was very professional, and Kirstin provided interesting information about the area and the northern lights. There was plenty of opportunity to take our own photos. As with our first trip, we would recommend Northern Norway Travel anytime.
This tour was a first for us as we normally like to take control of our trips, however with trepidation we took the plunge and booked the tour and I must say on the whole it was great. We arrived in Helsinki three days before the tour commenced and stayed at the TAD nominated hotel Scandic Grand Marina a three star hotel, a property that we wouldn't normally book. As we arrived early we upgraded to a suite rather then the superior room that you could only book through TAD. the Hotel is old and in need of a good refurbish however it is located in a great spot where you can walk to most places of interest with plenty of restaurants and markets close by. Breakfast at the hotel was excellent with a good variety of options, we only ate at the in house restaurant once and the food was OK. We met our tour guide Jorge, as well as the 18 other guests on the eve of the tour commencing, 20 in the tour group was just right, we met others with different tour operators who had 33 or more guests and they said it was too many. Jorge, who is actually employed by Hurtigruten not TAD was amazing, he was so knowledgable and so passionate about his role that he literally made the tour a success. The tour progressed through Finland at a practicable pace, no early mornings and enough time to enjoy the amazing areas we visited.The accommodation through out was pretty good, some places the rooms were tiny, however had other redeeming features and through out Jorge was there to make sure every thing was perfect. Prior to boarding the Hurtigruten for the 5 night cruise down the coast of Norway we had arranged through Jorge to upgrade to one of the suites which we couldn't do through TAD and am so glad we did as the view down the coast is more then stunning, rather then being on deck or one of the lounge areas at times we could enjoy the view from the large bay window from the privacy of the suite. Be aware when booking the cabins through TAD the only option you have is the basic cabin and a superior cabin. Both of these options are very small with the superior looking out to the pedestrian walkway they also have small windows, the basic cabins are mostly located on the lower deck with some of them close to the docking area where cars and goods are loaded at all times of the night when the boat makes a stop, these rooms on the upper level the small windows can be totally obstructed from the life boats. The hotels in Norway were all very good. The biggest negative of booking through TAD is the fact you don't have any control over flights. They had a connection for us through Copenhagen with a one hour transfer with two different airlines which they then changed to 45mins. When we complained it wasn't enough time if flights were delayed they suggested to make sure we have travel insurance in place...I can't imagine any travel insurance would compensate you if you missed such a close connection. We opted to stay over night in Copenhagen and they charged us a few hundred dollars to change the flight. We also had the added costs of the overnight stay in Copenhagen. The other negative is you can only book a hotel room up to superior through them. Would we book another Trip a Deal tour again? Maybe.
Our group of eleven Chinese participants registered for this aurora program, which has left a deep impression on me. Despite the terrible weather that day, with rain and snow throughout the daytime, we proceeded anyway. At the hotel reception, I encountered Mayo, who patiently addressed my inquiries regarding the prospects of witnessing the northern lights that night. She displayed various weather cloud charts for different times later that evening and instilled confidence in me, stating that if we could reach a spot free from cloud obstruction, there was a possibility of observing the aurora. Her encouragement persuaded me to sign up for the tour. Though our hopes were nearly dashed by the heavy snowfall in the city that night, things took a turn for the better upon meeting our guide, Kirstin. Her enthusiasm and profound knowledge made the journey both informative and delightful. She guided us to an excellent location where we built a warm campfire. Around the fire, we shared a fabulous dinner. Right after dinner, as if by magic, the northern lights appeared just as we had wished. Kirstin was very patient, assisting us in taking photos during an amazing aurora display. Everyone was overjoyed beyond expression. Thanks to Mayo’s patience and Kirstin’s professionalism, we had an unforgettable travel experience. A heartfelt thank you to both of them! 我们一行十一人参加了这次极光之旅,这段经历给我留下了深刻的印象。那天的天气非常糟糕,从早到晚都在下雨夹雪,但我们还是决定继续前行。在酒店前台,我遇到了Mayo,她耐心地解答了我关于当晚观赏北极光可能性的问题,并展示了当天晚上不同时段的天气云图,让我对前往无云遮挡的地方观测极光充满了信心。她的鼓励最终促使我报名参加了这个团。 尽管出发时大雪纷飞,几乎让我们失去了希望,但当我们遇到向导克里斯汀后,整个旅程开始变得充满期待。克里斯汀的热情和丰富的知识让这次旅行既充实又愉快。她带领我们找到了一个绝佳的观测点,在那里我们点燃了一堆温暖的篝火,围坐在一起享用了丰盛的晚餐。令人惊喜的是,晚餐过后,就像变魔术一样,美丽的极光如期而至。克里斯汀非常有耐心地帮我们拍照,记录下了这壮观的一幕。大家看到如此绚丽的极光都感到无比兴奋。 正是因为梅奥的耐心指导和克里斯汀的专业服务,才让我们拥有了一次难忘的旅行体验。真心感谢她们两位的付出!
Overall great experience! I got to see the northern lights for an extended period of time! Tour guide was friendly! Well organized tour!
Cozy fire and nice snacks/reindeer stew; haven't figured out how to see the pictures yet, but it was a really nice night. There was a 1:30 a.m. curfew, which showed that the company had the staff's rights in mind (and/or that they didn't want to pay overtime?), but we went all the way to the Finnish border and waited for a long time for the lights. Saw a bit of green and a baby moose on the road!
The minute David introduced himself and described his obsession of hunting auroras, we knew we had the right guide. It was no surprise that he maintained his >90% hit rate with us: we were treated to an unreal show of dancing lights that seemed to go on forever. This is someone who goes above and beyond and truly wants to share his love for chasing auroras, teaching us everything from the right apps to download and tricks and hacks on our phones and cameras. Thank you for the absolute highlight of our vacation!
My family and I came to Tromso with our main objective to chase for the Northern Lights. We were thankful that we joined the tour with an amazing tour guide Pedro. He was knowledgeable about how to search for the best location. The night started with a campfire with some hot reindeer stew, thereafter he kept looking out in the sky and guided us how to see with bare eyes and how to get the best photos. He constantly checking on us to ensure that we kept warm. The tour also included some traditional dessert, and or course hot chocolate in this chilly weather. Pedro helped us to take photos using his camera and all photos look great! We were lucky to have a clear sky during the night we went so that aurora was dancing through the sky the whole night. It was a great experience!
"Don't freak out." LOL. YES do freak out because the lights this evening were amazing. David guided us in the snowy weather to the exact spot we wanted to be (vs. driving to multiple locations or all the way to Finland) when it stopped snowing and we had finished our delicious reindeer stew. Lying in the snow on reindeer hides watching for the light show to begin was the highlight of my northern lights adventure. Highly recommend David, his enthusiasm, and creativity to cut the light pollution from other not so conscientious groups.
What a fabulous small group tour! Our guide, David, made the trip so special. He was knowledgable, knew where to go and his passion and excitement for the lights was infectious. The lights were spectacular.
this trip was an answer to our prayer. GOD is SOO GOOD! We love Norway. The NORTHEN LIGHTS is MIRACLE From heaven. thank you
Our guide David "infected" us immediately with his passion for searching and enjoying polar lights. After 90 minutes drive in a comfortable van, he found an appropiate cloudless spot for expecting the Northern Lights. We were lucky, that we could watch this colourful natural spectacle continuing more than 3 hours. David made awesome fotos - also together with the tour guests - and supplied us in between with reindeer stew, cookies and warm drinks at the campfire. After midnight we euphoricly returned to Tromso and thanked David for this unforgettable experience.
Martin was a great guide. We found the perfect spot and saw the lights for about 2 hours. They could take more photos as the opportunity was definitely there, the choice of only 1 photo was limited compared to other trips.
The experience was amazing. Aiden was a great guide. He took plenty of great pictures and we were able to see the lights in two different spots. This was one of my best experiences, the lights danced for almost two hours.
we loved it. it had snowed for 2 days straight and we did not think we had a chance to see the northern lights. but David who is one of the most enthusiastic tour guides i have seen came through. he not only made sure we saw the lights at 3 spots but he took the best pictures as he is a professional photographer. he had hot chocolate and we were vegeterians and had hot veg soup and some nice Nordic dessert and marshmallows. the bonfire was great. the van was very comfortable and driver was safe. the third time he saw something from the van and he practically jumped out and made us rush out and it was the most glorious experience surrounded by aurora's all around. over all amazing experience.
Thank you Aiden for taking us to see the Northern Lights. The whole trip was very comfortable. Thank you Aiden for your professionalism and patience. If you want to participate in the Northern Lights tour, you must choose Aiden
We had a good time, saw the northern lights dancing. Had reindeer stew.. which was super delicous. On the way down, we made some quick stop just to enjoy more of the show. Kristin made sure we see the most of the magical northern lights.
I had to book the tour at the last minute and employees found me a place on the tour even though the booking for that day was closed. I did the tour in German (the only option for that day), and our guide Kristin spoke in English when I couldn't understand something in German. The weather for that night wasn't promising, but they did everything they could to find the place where there weren't clouds. We went all the way to the Finland border, and we saw the lights! Kristin took pictures of us and after that we enjoyed the dinner while watching the lights. We had some traditional reindeer stew, some hot drinks, and lefse for desert. I really enjoyed the tour!
We had an amazing time! The tour was so organized and a big shoutout to our tour guide David! He was so excited, fun and dedicated, he made every second count and took the most amazing pictures!! He was the best!
It was one of the most magical experiences ever. The customer service and enthusiasm from the guide David Haring was extraordinary, he and our driver found the perfect spot to what the Northern Lights. The food was delicious and the hot drinks, cookies and fire were a great complement for a cold but exciting night. I highly recommend this tour. And... we won the lottery as we were able to see many strong Northen Lights.
Outstanding experience in every way. Our guide David was fabulous. Infectious enthusiasm for the northern lights! Highly recommended.
This was a bucket list dream for me and the family enjoyed it as well. The weather and strength was poor the week we went but the guide was amazing, friendly and helpful. They had all the gear to chase and find clear skies and had access to a network to where the aurora was likely to show. We set down in the first spot and had camp fire, food and hot drink - which was great. We had our ski gear on which was fine - we didn’t need the extra body suits on offer. It was -20 so you needed glovers, boots and hat etc. snow was 1 metre deep off the paths as I looked for photo spots. The guide helped with settings on my DSLR (don’t forget tripod). We also got great family photos provided by the guide as well. Over all we stopped in 3 spots and yes we saw the Northen lights 😁 there were lots of options and we were pleased we chose these.
We had a fantastic trip. Our Tour-Guide Viktor gave many explanations about polar-lights und took nice pictures. He and the driver Jose chose a beautiful place to wait for the polarlights and we were lucky to see them late in the evening. We were sitting around a bon-fire, had a light meal with typical food from Norway . The pictures we took ourselves and his pictures are beautiful. This tour was our personal hightlight in Tromsö
Only tried for the lights 2 places (even though it was initially shared that we’d try more), no fire was ever made for us to sit around. One star for the excellent driver and another for the decent snack pack. But this tour is way overpriced for poor engagement and communication during the chase. I sadly had seen reviews proclaiming their awesomeness and thought even if we didn’t catch the lights it would still be a great time. I was wrong. Choose a different company.
Guide got everyone in circle around fire drinking hot coco and talking while waiting for lights which was nice. Nice area by water with mountain as background.
Unfortunately no lights but a great group and Lucia was a fantastic guide. Nice forest picnic and a long drive with no open sky. Still a fun experience.
The guide was definitely not a good one. Don’t feel like she’s experienced about what she’s doing. Went out for chasing since 7pm keep on driving until a forest and set up a fire camp but then I felt like we just wasted our time there… then continue our journey but already almost 10pm… all these while the tour guide- Lucia did not explain where are we heading to just driving to nowhere and make us felt so disappointed…. The whole journey last for 7 hours but then the time we stand outside actually waiting for lights less than 30mins… we only changed 2 spots… the last one just asked us to get down look at cloudy sky and told us they already done their best in chasing… I don’t see their professionalism and passions about trying to max the chance of spotting lights, given that many ppl actually able to see it on the same day.
We had booked this tour several months in advance. We our whole week in Tromso planned. We showed up over 20 minutes early to found out our specific bus had been overbooked and had left 15 minutes before we had arrived! There were no spots so we were not able to go. They offered to put us on a tour a few days later but that meant entirely changing our plans for that day. The company blamed Viator but I suspect the overbook regularly and expect to get away with. Very disappointed with our experience.
This was a disappointing trip although we did see the lights. The guide was more concerned with reaching a spot 1.5 hours out of town even though the lights came out early and a friend on another bus only traveled 25 mins out of town and so got an entire additional hour of fabulous photos. By the time we stopped the best of the lights had faded. Additionally, we stopped at a tiny spot with three buses and bc I couldn’t get away from people, all my photos are littered with other people’s lights and cell phones. Just not a good experience.
The trip was well planned and well executed. The guide, and the driver both knew their business very well. The guide was in contact with other guides searching for brakes in the cloud cover. Our guide, Sam, was phenomenal. He was optimistic and fun and informative. It was late at night, it was cold, and the aurora didn’t wanna make an appearance, but Sam kept us entertained and active and happy. Wonderful experience, even if the aurora did not cooperate for us.
We booked a trip for two people to see the Northern Lights. Unfortunately, we found that there was no Norwegian campfire with reindeer furs and firpit and Video of Northern Lights in historical cafe (hot drinks included) during the trip. We feel a bit disappointed about service.
Guide Victor from Germany was the best guide. And the outfit is run professionally. Campfire was great. Aurora sighting was great.
Despite the challenges of heavy clouds, the tour crew made a great effort to drive us to a clear sky to witness the Northern Lights. We were fortunate to witness some decent sightings of the Aurora. However, throughout the journey, our tour leader didn't engage with our group or provide us some interesting information about what we are about to witness making the experience less memorable despite the sighting. It felt like his role was limited to just escorting us to the spot and taking pictures. I commend the driver for safely driving us throughout the long evening and the lovely lady guide assistant who actively engaged with every member of the group. Their efforts added a positive touch to the tour. Overall, whilst the Northern Lights sightings were impressive, the experience could have been more memorable if the tour guide had been more engaging and provided us with a more enriching experience. Tour: Tromsø: Aurora Borealis Chase with Guide, Meals & Campfire Date: 29 February 2024, 18:00hrs
Very happy to see they tried more than one place so we could see the northern lights. Some things were missing and not provided like not offered to wear the warm suits that are advertised, we were not given the hot drinks while we were waiting for the aurora borealis, which would have been very nice and was advertised. We were given the boxed snack, which was nice, and we were given plenty opportunities for pictures and helping taking the pictures and all of that was very nice as well. The fact that we got to see the northern lights was of course wonderful
Booked the trip last minute as there were not many options. Tour included 15 people on bus but 5 busses left simultaneously and we parked and camped with 2 other busses so it had big bus feel. Also lot of small touches missing like only deerskin to sit on snow vice folding chairs like others. The guide only had 5 deerskins that were enough for 10 people to sit down. Left 5 of us standing. Seeing the northern lights would have made it memorable still, but understand that weather needs to cooperate. Went on a tour earlier in the week so this is based on that small group experience.
The weather was windy and cloudy, but our guide persisted at our second spot. The sky cleared and we witnessed impressive green Aurora. Quite a long wait during which we should have been offered hot drinks. The tasting pack containing wraps (salmon and reindeer), waffle, dried fish was appreciated
We stopped at only two places and gave up trying to find the aurora. The guide said that they stayed in one place waiting for the sky to open. This was not at all what the tour itinerary said, which mentioned going up to Finland if necessary. The guide said that this wasn't possible because the insurance was only valid in Norway. And as there was a bonfire, this obviously reduced the chance of exploring places to see the aurora, as you cant do that at roadside viewpoints. In the two places we stopped, the guide kept taking photos all the time and NEVER looked at the sky to see if the aurora was visible. It seemed that THEY KNEW THAT IT WOULD BE IMPOSSIBLE TO SEE THE AURORA THAT DAY, but they kept the "excursion" going anyway, just to make money, and trying to make everyone think it was GREAT to sit by a bonfire in the snow. This procedure seems very far from correct, as did another company that CANCELLED the search for the aurora on a day they knew it was not possible to see it. And it is the most expensive tour in Tromsø !
WORTH IT! 10/10 experience. JACOB is very knowledgeable and took a ton of photos for us. The tour offered traditional food, fire, hot beverages, and an extra layer for warmth. I had been speaking with a couple who HIGHLY RECOMMENDED I take this tour with NORTHERN NORWAY TRAVEL before leaving Tromso, so I booked it immediately. This is a van tour of about 15 people. Our night started off extremely snowy with no visibility. We started our drive south where the forecast predicted a break in the clouds. Every now and then we would stop for a stretch and assess the weather situation. Our driver was amazing and such a pleasure to speak with as well. We ended up traveling all the way to Finland to enjoy the show. Upon arrival the Aurora was already vibrant. And it just kept getting better and better. Jacob was offering help to everyone and went above and beyond for us all. He took some really great photos! I would HIGHLY SUGGEST this tour to EVERYONE! And if I come back I will certainly be booking with them again. THANK YOU NORTHERN NORWAY TRAVEL!
This tour was informative and fun. We saw some incredible stars and the northern lights made a faint appearance for a few hours. Although we couldn’t see much color with the naked eye that evening, the photos managed to capture a whole spectrum of greens and pinks in the sky. Our guide Karel was passionate about astronomy and had a lot of knowledge to impart as we sat around the campfire. He was funny too! The ride was comfortable and they provided tasty wraps for us to eat. It’s definitely worth spending an evening with this crew while you’re in Tromsø.
Great experience! According to the weather forecast it should have been cloudy around Tromso, but our experienced and helpful quide Jacob found a place where we saw Aurora. During the journey we were given a lot of interesting information about Aurora and Norvegian nature. We enjoyed the sitting around the fire and the refreshment. Coming back after midnight, the bus driver stopped just in front of our hotel. Thank you very much.
We had a good time chasing the Northern Lights and saw them. We were ~15 people in a minivan and we changed a couple of places until we decided to camp at a place and wait for the lights to appear. Our guide, Jake, was very knowledgeable and shared information and stories. He also took photos of everyone and promised that the pictures would be sent by e-mail in the next 48 hours. In the tour description, it also says you will get your photos. What it does not say is that photos are low-resolution, which makes them almost useless. You need to pay to get a high-resolution photo. Plus, it took one week to get the photos, whereas all other guides had posted them on the other day or two. I have been on other tours where you get the photos right away and with great quality, so you could share them with your friends. Anyway, we enjoyed the northern lights.
Very disappointed as we did not see the lights which I know is not the tours fault yet it did not feel like a “chase”. At the start we were told cloud and wind was coming so why didn’t we try to avoid the way the wind was blowing?This already made us dubious on if we would actually see the lights. We stopped twice first stop we didn’t get out of the minibus it was too windy yet we was also surrounded by street and house lights which is confusing after just being told we need to avoid light pollution so surely we wouldn’t of seen the lights there anyway?!…Second stop was better and away from light pollution but we kept getting told it’s windy and the cloudy in our direction so my question was why didn’t we move? As previously mentioned we got told where the cloud was coming from so why did we go in that direction and not try to avoid it! Instead we stood around a small camp fire waiting for 2 hours under a cloudy sky. I had pretty much given up on being able to see the lights as even I know being a complete novice that it wasn’t going to be visible. The tour guide was lovely but there didn’t seem to be much effort in “chasing” the lights and a few comments made at the start seemed as though they new this but obviously weren’t going to say and reschedule 5 minibus’ full of people.
Unfortunately, this tour was disappointing. I had gone out the prior evening with a different tour operator and had a fantastic time. From the beginning it seemed chaotic. It was the guides second day with the company and it seemed evident. There was no "chase" he picked a location however once we got there it was completely full with other busses. He seemed to have no back up plan. So we set up in some random location and he started a fire, passed out drinks, and snack packs. We were in the cold for hours huddled by the fire and eventually started to smell like smoke. After nearly 6hrs of waiting for the lights they decided to pack up and take us back to Tromsø. Once they had everything packed away the lights did appear and we all rushed off the bus. We were all trying our best to capture decent photos but we were given no useful tips by the guide. He set up his camera to take pictures but appeared to be having difficulty. The company did loan people tripods however some were broken and therefore useless. There was also no where to relieve yourself except out in nature, which is not fun when the temperature was about 11⁰F. The driver was also driving incredibly fast on snow covered roads which was unnerving to many of us. We were told we would get a link for pictures that we would need to pay for which is absurd given the cost of the excursion. Despite seeing the lights I honestly would not book with this company again it was an uncomfortable experience and definitely not worth the price.
Very nice Aurora chase. And what a show Lady Aurora presented. Majestic. A special thanx to our guide Viktor Hübner. A great storyteller.
I cannot thank you guys enough for this surreal experience. We saw one of the best displays of the Aurora's of the season. I cannot even explain in words how beautiful the experience was (look at pictures). As for the tour, we choose to book this tour because it was a small group tour. There are many other tours on Viator which are cheaper, but those tours take like truck loads on human's and ruin the experience. We wanted to be in a smaller group so we choose to pay a bit higher and book this tour. About the full experience of the tour: (its a long read. If you dont like reading long reviews you can scroll down the summary... but i would highly advice you read the full review to know every detail, as these small details can make your experience special) Communication: We received clear on time communication about the meeting point & time & all other instructions. Check-In: The office/meeting point is very conveniently located. We arrived at the Northern Norway Office about 20 mins before the expected time. The checkin process was super smooth and their staff was very very helpful. The office is also very nice with lot's of place to sit around. The company also provides free rental of Tripods, which is EXTREMELY important thing to have if you want to capture some nice pictures. Start of tour: When our guide Karl arrived, he introduced himself & took a short introduction from everyone. Also (again) asked if anyone needed a tripod. I am so glad I took a tripod from them, so i could capture beautiful pictures & videos. The MiniVan: We then met our driver Jarek & boarded the mini-van. The group is limited to 15 people, the van's are cozy, comfortable & well heated. Start of the drive: We started driving to an island (Ringvayossa) North West of Tromso. On the way Karl kept providing information about various things & was happy to answer any of our questions + provide more knowledge about related things. The spotting: We were supposed to drive to the frozen lake, but about 45 mins into the drive Karl spotted the northern lights which started growing in intensity so he stopped the van & we setup base at a dark spot. And the next 3 hours was just PURE MAGIC. we saw the most amazing spectacle of our lives. We were lucky that night the aurora's were super strong & we witnessed one of the most spectacular shows of the winter. During our 3+ hours there, we were provided with Thermal suits, Karl took a lot of pictures for us from his DSLR camera (which are shared later free of cost (lo-res) or the hi-res ones are available to purchase (as mentioned in the tour description)), he also setup a camp fire & provided some snacks & warm drinks. Because we were a small group it was a very very cozy experience as we sat around the fire, chatted, had some warm drinks + Karl could take a lot of pictures for us. He gave each and every one equal time and opportunity to take pictures. During the time our driver Jarek kept the van heated & comfortable if anyone preferred to sit inside. I was soooo mesmerized by the spectacle that nature was showing us that i stayed out all the time just gazing at the sky. I did not want to miss a single moment, so when our group was chatting by the campfire,...i still just lay down in the snow gazing at the sky. After 3+ hours of being in the same spot when the activity reduced a bit, we suggested that we go to the originally planned spot of the frozen lake & Karl was more than happy to do that. So we then drove another 15 minutes and went to the frozen lake, where we stayed for another 3 hours (i guess). Karl & Jarek were so nice & they were in no hurry to leave the spot. He was happy to be out with us till we wanted. Towards the end it was me + 2 others from the group who stayed out till very late gazing at the skies , stars & the galaxies & Karl was showing us the different galaxies & planets & we were talking about various things related to the them. The drive back: Finally extremely satisfied with our night (almost 7 hours), we started to head back to our hotels. Karl & Jarek dropped us back to our individual hotels. The after service: 2 days after the tour we received lots & lots of pictures from the night that Karl had clicked on his camera. Summary: I am soooo soooo happy I booked my tour with Norther Norway Travel, having a private/small group tour makes a BIG BIG difference to your experience. For anyone booking a Northern lights tour(or any other tour for that matter) I would advice pay a bit more and go with a small group. This night was an absolutely special night, the memories of which are going to stay with me for my entire life. I cannot thank NNT, Karl & Jarek enough for making us experience this. For anyone reading this, if you are looking to book a tour , look no further and book with NNT, they are the bestest. THANKING NNT, KARL & JAREK FROM THE BOTTOM OF MY HEART. YOU HAVE GIVEN US A MEMORY TO CHERISH , REMEMBER & SPEAK ABOUT FOR OUR ENTIER LIVES. - Meet
Definitely not worth the price. Jake was a nice guide, but we finished early, there was no “hunt” we just chose a specific spot and waited. We saw some auroras but you can definitely see more renting a car and moving around with the alerts from groups online. Food seemed like a pack from 7Eleven, the chocolate was water with chocolate powder. There were no marshmallows as advertised. We saw some auroras which was great, but the experience could have been better. The customer service is extremely bad, it took them 1 week to post the pictures after waisting my time over the email as they got delayed and the Standard quality ones are much worse than the ones from my phone. The High quality ones are not included despite the delay in posting and they’re of course overpriced.
It's amazing trip. See the northern lights were dancing. That day was my Unforgettable memory at Norway. I'm so glad I join this tour.
It was our first time in norway and this was the first tour we booked. Louis was our guide, not a guide, he was our friend and companion. The way he judged the weather and moved things around, was commendable. He taught us so many things and made it memorable for us. Love from india, youre the best!
Thank you Karel for a wonderful Trip! A lot of information about the City, the lights and also good mood for a beautiful nighttour. We saw man lights because of a clear sky and have many good Photos. Wonderful Experience
It was an incredible experience witnessing the beauty of northern lights with NNT. Completely worth it. The guides are very nice and dedicated for the northern lights chase they offer in the organized trip. Thanks 👍
