Our guide was knowledgeable, prompt and very personable. He chose an excellent location. We thoroughly enjoyed the trip!
we were very lucky to see the very strong northern light tonight!
I came to Tromsø specifically to see the northern lights, dragging my boyfriend along with me. After cancelling two different tours because of the weather we booked on to this tour last minute and hoped for the best. Thanks to Jinyar's efforts we stopped twice capturing the northern lights. We ended up at the edge of the water, looking at Sommaroy island and the sky exploded!! It was an incredible experience topped off with hot chocolate, marshmallows and corn in the cob! I highly highly recommend! The small group size meant that we were able to walk a bit off the beaten track to really hunt for the lights and that hunt paid off.
Jinyar was amazing and provided the opportunity to see the most beautiful northern lights! Such a fun memorable experience
We saw an amazing display of lights. Went to a frozen lake for a bonfire, hot drinks, marshmallows, and corn. Since we saw the lights, the trip didn't last until the wee hours of the morning. Dress warm, fingers will get cold taking pics, and feet get cold around the bonfire.
exceeded expectations, guide was very knowledgable, knew exactly where to go, had the most incredible experience seeing the northern lights, and also have stunning pictures that captured the moment that we'll have forever! also traveling as two women we felt very safe and secure the whole time.
A superb trip. Our guide was the gentlest person and although worked alone was able to kit us out with snow suits and around a fire waiting for the aurora give us hot chocolate and corn on the cob to cook over the fire. It was snowing in Tromso but he managed to find a spot that was totally clear about one hour away. Be aware that many factors leading to viewing the aurora are beyond the gift of guides, but although other groups joined us on the frozen lake, our guide advised us to stay put as clear skies were approaching from the north. He was right. We waited 2 hours around the fire and were treated to a 2-3 hour aurora. A real treat. Many thanks!
Amazing experience our guide was the best he stopped many times to check the weather conditions, took a lot of pictures and videos of us and brought us snacks and hot chocolate. Would recommend 100%! Thanks for the beautiful evening
We had an amazing Northern Lights tour in Tromsø thanks to our fantastic guide, Jinjyr. He was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. Despite tricky weather, he went above and beyond to find clear skies, and we were rewarded with an unforgettable Northern Lights display. The extra help with photos was a lovely bonus too. Highly recommended — a truly magical experience! ✨🌌
Jinyar is the best! He took care of all of us and find the best spot to see the Aurora. He went above and beyond! Very good photographer too! It’s my first time seeing the Northern Lights and I had the best experience! Thank you so much!
The northern lights can be allusive but our guide continued to look and found them despite some clouds.
Such a fabulous experience! Our guide Jinyar was warm & welcoming. He made sure we got great professional photos. There was not a lot if activity to the naked eye; however, the camera sees things humans cannot. Jinyar was great at getting fun poses and coached us to get the best shots. He was amazing! Seeing the Northern Lights is my bucket list dream and I’m so happy to have had this experience! We had a cozy bonfire to stay warm, roasted corn & hit chocolate. Highly recommend! Great value and very accommodating. Love the door to door service!
Wonderful adventure chasing the northern lights. Fantastic quality tour with the experience guide and driver. A bucket list experience.
Passionate and dedicated guide that is always on the look out for auora activities and helping the group to take the best pictures possible.
It was such an amazing evening. We had the best tour guide with Jinyar and saw the aurora from unique spots that truly made the experience unforgettable. Highly recommend for everyone - our small group was so friendly and welcoming.
The most amazing experience ever with the most incredible guide Jinyar who was the best photographer, best at taking us to special spots to see the northern lights and explaining everything. We felt so looked after and had an unforgettable experience.
What an incredible evening! Jinyar was such a great guide and took us to unique spots to see the very very best of the aurora. It's an experience ill never forget. Highly recommend to single travelers, couples, and families. We had a really multicultural fun group to share the experience with.
It was a great experience, I recommend to everyone who visits Tromsoe. The atmosphere was really good and we watched the Aurora a few times at very pretty spots chosen for us
This trip to look for, and find the Lights, was incredible. He provided incredible hospitality, from taking us to a spot, to building and maintaining a campfire the entire time, to providing food/drink to keep us warm, it was a great experience! The photos the guide took were really lovely and the driver was incredibly hospitable as well. We had a great experience and would highly recommend it to anyone wanting to find the Northern Lights in Tromsø!
It was like a fairytale. The guys just found a spot near Somoroy island amd we saw Aurora so clear. They also light a fire, drinking hot chocolate around it Simply follow them
The night started under cloudy skies in Tromso and it didn’t seem like we had much chance to see the northern lights. But our driver and guide went above and beyond. They drove us all the way to Finland in search of clear skies and it paid off! We witnessed a breathtaking aurora display dancing above us and our guide took professional photos of us and the lights, capturing unforgettable memories. The bonfire, hot chocolate and marshmallows made the freezing night even more special. It was a magical experience from start to finish. I completely recommend this tour - 100%!
My experience with Alshemal Norway was fantastic. The guides were all very nice, very patient, and very knowledgeable about the Northern Lights. The way they presented all the information was very clear and easy to understand, thus heightening the fun of the trip. They brought us to wonderful sites and were very committed to unclouded skies. The moment the Northern Lights showed up, it was unreal and an experience I will remember for a lifetime. The tour was very well planned and relaxing, and the guides also assisted us in capturing the moments. I would suggest Alshemal Norway very strongly to anybody wanting to have a Northern Lights experience they would not forget.
Wonderful experience ! Trip of a life time. Great guide! Loved the fire and hot chocolate. Dedicated to the chase! I would recommend friends and family.
Really enjoyed the experience. The tour leader Jinyar and the driver worked hard to make it a positive experience. It was great to have a small tour group of 7 people. The vehicle was very comfortable and there was a fun selection of fire side snacks. The thermal suits provided were a life saver! Overall we highly recommend this tour company.
The Northern Lights with Alshemal Norway was amazing from start to finish! Our tour guide was great at communicating in the preparation for the tour. He set expectations for what we could experience due to weather this last week (17 - 21 November 2025). Pick up was incredibly efficient & easy to coordinate with WhatsApp. Thankfully, the weather cooperated with us & we were able to get amazing photos! Our guide (with his pro photography skills) & driver took the time to stop at scenic spots along the way to capture extra majestic views near a fjord. Being in a small group of 6 visitors (total 8 people in the vehicle) really helped make things easier to follow the Aurora forecast. Once we stopped to make the campfire for roasting corn & later marshmallows (also included: hot chocolate, coffee, or tea) we started getting glimpses of the Aurora & the longer we were out the better the views got! In addition to photos, our guide also took a video & a time-lapse. The guide and driver’s enthusiasm made the trip even more fun! My southern Californian soul also deeply appreciated the thermal suit & I learned I do need two layers of wool socks (if you get too cold they are happy to let you warm up your feet in the van). A huge thank you to Jinyar and Luigi for a fantastic time!
It was a great experience for me and my wife , we really enjoyed the trip , we cached the lights on the borders with Finland , the weather was very challenging , there is also thermal suits , hot chocolate and free professionnel photos , i recommend of course.
This was an adventure worth every minute. My wife and I are both around 55 and usually prefer calmer tours, but this one gave us both comfort and thrill. Jinyar drove carefully through heavy snow, always explaining what he was doing. He found an open sky near a fjord and helped us set up by the fire. We drank hot chocolate, ate biscuits, and listened to stories about the Arctic. The photos we got later were breathtaking. Highly recommend for anyone who still has a sense of adventure.
I’ve been on many tours before, but this one felt different . real, personal, and full of adventure. The weather was tough that night with strong wind and snow, but Jinyar didn’t seem worried. He told us, “The lights always find a way,” and somehow, he was right. After a smooth hotel pickup, we drove for hours through snowy roads, stopping at different points to check the sky. He kept everyone’s spirits high, offering tea, hot chocolate, and snacks from the back of the van. When we finally reached a small clearing near the sea, the clouds moved just enough to reveal the aurora. He set up his camera, helped everyone get good photos, and even made a small campfire so we could warm up. We laughed, took pictures, and just enjoyed the silence of the Arctic night. It felt like a reward after the chase and honestly, that made it even more special.
We almost canceled because the weather looked terrible, but I’m so glad we didn’t. Our guide, was determined to find clear skies no matter what. He kept checking maps and radar, driving through snow and wind until we finally reached a quiet fjord where the sky started to open. He made sure everyone was comfortable, passing around hot chocolate, cookies, and warm snacks while the snow fell around us. Just when we thought the night was over, the clouds broke and the Northern Lights appeared above the mountains. It was freezing, but we all forgot about the cold. The pickup from our hotel was right on time, the van was warm and clean, and the whole night felt safe and well organized. It wasn’t an easy night for weather, but thanks to Jinyar, we had one of the most beautiful moments of our trip.
We booked this tour hoping to see the Northern Lights, but it turned out to be so much more than that. My partner and I were picked up right from our hotel and joined a small group heading out toward the fjords. The drive itself was beautiful snow covered mountains, frozen lakes, and quiet Arctic roads. Our guide found the perfect spot by the sea, far from any city lights. We sat by a small fire, wrapped in warm suits, listening to the waves while waiting for the aurora. When the lights finally appeared, they filled the sky in green and purple, reflecting over the water it was unreal. The guide took amazing photos for us, helped everyone stay comfortable, and explained so much about the Arctic and the Northern Lights. It never felt rushed or touristy, just calm, personal, and genuine. For couples looking for something truly special in Tromsø, this was the perfect mix of adventure and peace one of those nights you’ll never forget.
We joined the Fjordland Aurora Chase with Alshemal Norway, and it turned out to be one of the best nights of our trip. Everything was so well organized from the start — hotel pickup right on time, warm and clean van, and thermal suits ready for each of us. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, and clearly experienced. He checked live weather maps all night and took us far away from the crowds, to beautiful fjord areas by the Arctic Sea. We could actually hear the waves while waiting for the lights. When the aurora appeared, it was like the whole sky was moving — green and purple reflections over the water. We also had a small campfire, some warm drinks, and great conversations about Arctic life and the science behind the Northern Lights. The guide took incredible photos for everyone and shared them later through cloud storage — really professional quality. This tour feels personal and genuine, not commercial. You can tell they care about giving guests a real Arctic experience. Small group, great service, and fair price for what you get. I would absolutely recommend this to anyone visiting Tromsø who wants to see the Northern Lights properly, away from the city.
This tour was absolutely magical from start to finish! Our guide Jinyar was perfect , not only a professional Northern Lights photographer, but also a passionate storyteller who made the whole experience unforgettable. We had free hotel pickup, which was super convenient since we didn’t have a car. The big van was spacious and very comfortable, and our thermal suits were ready as soon as we joined. Jinyar chose quiet, non-crowded locations away from city lights and even built a cozy campfire while sharing live weather updates and aurora forecasts with us. He took incredible high-quality photos throughout the night and shared them through cloud storage afterward , so professional! We learned so much about the Arctic Circle and the Northern Lights, and it truly felt like we were hunting the aurora together. Alshemal Norway is an extremely professional company small-group, well organized, and the price is very fair compared to what’s included. Every minute was magical. We’ve never had such an amazing experience in our lives. Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Tromsø!
Amazing night seeing the Northern Lights. Our guide was fantastic! He took top quality photos and shared them for free.
We had an amazing night with Alshemal Norway on the Fjordland Aurora Chase! It was cozy by the fire with grilled corn and hot drinks, yet full of adventure as we chased the lights through wild Arctic fjords far from city glow. The Northern Lights danced right above us a breathtaking, once-in-a-lifetime sight. Perfect for those who want a real, nature focused and adventurous experience. Highly recommended!
We joined the Fjordland Aurora Chase with Alshemal Norway, and it was truly magical. Far away from city lights, we stopped by calm fjords and open sea views where the Northern Lights reflected beautifully on the water — absolutely breathtaking. The group was small and quiet, just nature, fire, grilled corn, and dancing auroras above the sea. If you want a peaceful, non-crowded, and real Arctic adventure — this is the tour to book!
Jinyar was a great photographer, super enthusiastic and caring for the guests experience, a great night out!
We joined this Northern Lights fjord tour during our stay in Tromsø, and it turned into one of the most unforgettable nights of our lives. Our guide, Mark, made the whole experience feel personal and full of wonder. From the beginning, Mark shared stories about the Arctic, the stars, and how he reads the sky to find clear weather. He wasn’t just driving us — he was guiding us through the science and the feeling of the Northern Lights. His passion for what he does really shows. We stopped by several fjords surrounded by tall snowy mountains and quiet water reflecting the night sky. It felt like we were in a dream. When the aurora finally appeared, the sky exploded in green and purple light dancing right above us — and Mark helped everyone capture perfect photos. Around the campfire, we enjoyed hot drinks, grilled marshmallows, and just listened to the silence of the Arctic night. There were only a few people in the group, which made it calm and intimate — not like the big bus tours. Mark knew exactly where to go and when to wait. Thanks to him, we got to see the Northern Lights at their best. This night was pure magic.
My husband and I joined the Fjordland Aurora Chase by the Arctic Sea with Alshemal Norway and it was amazing from start to finish. The guide really knew what he was doing — checking live weather and chasing clear skies all night. We drove through the most beautiful fjords around Tromsø, with snow-covered mountains and calm water reflecting the stars. When the Northern Lights appeared, they were dancing right above the sea — green and purple waves across the whole sky. It was breathtaking. The group was small, only 7–8 people, so it felt private and relaxed. We got warm suits, hot drinks, and grilled marshmallows by a campfire while waiting. The guide also took professional photos and shared them after the trip — they turned out incredible! It’s not a big bus tour; it’s more personal and focused on real Aurora chasing. You can tell they care about giving guests the best possible experience. I’d 100% recommend this to anyone visiting Tromsø who wants a genuine Northern Lights adventure with stunning fjord views.
We joined Alshemal’s Tromsø Fjordland Aurora Chase, and it was absolutely breathtaking. The locations Mark took us to were quiet, peaceful, and far from the tourist crowds — surrounded only by snowy fjords, frozen beaches, and reflections of the Arctic Sea. It felt like we had the whole Northern Lights show to ourselves. Mark was amazing — calm, confident, and clearly experienced. He knew exactly when and where to wait for the aurora, explaining every step of the chase and how the lights appear. When the Northern Lights finally danced above us, it was pure magic — green ribbons across a silent Arctic sky. If you want to see the Northern Lights in Tromsø away from the crowds, this is the tour you want. Real wilderness, rare views, and a guide who truly cares. Thank you, Mark, for a night we’ll never forget.
An unforgettable Northern Lights night with Alshemal Norway! The guide tracked the clear sky perfectly and found the aurora even when Tromsø was cloudy. We had warm suits, a campfire, and professional photos taken under the lights. Highly recommended for small groups who want a real Arctic adventure.
Excellent tour !! I highly recommend it. The driver took additional efforts and drove a long way to ensure you can see northern lights.
It was almost too easy we were incredibly lucky and our guide’s flair led us straight to a frozen lake, sheltered from the clouds, for a prodigious show. Good company, good mood, good ride!
The Aurora explosion. The guide was very responsible and took us to many viewing points, each of which saw the aurora, a bonfire to keep warm and hot chocolate delicious! Very comfortable trip, recommended for this event! 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Perfect experience. Friendly guide, polite, professional and attentive to every detail, super photographer: recommended,
We had a great time with our guides. They were available and welcomed us, they had prepared the necessary to be very warm during the excursion (I was accompanied by my children 10 and 12 years, they had prepared suits for them). You can see that they are experienced people who are passionate about what they do Oh yes and big more: the guide takes care of making us many photos with an exceptional quality: beautiful I recommend 100%
