Roberto was committed to give us the best possible chance of spotting the Northern Lights and we were fortunate that she came out for us to experience! We spent as much time as possible out in the -3deg temperature, so definitely had to be prepared for a bit of trekking and standing in the cold and snow. Roberto was a great host providing a hot drink and biscuits. Thanks Roberto for the wonderful magical mystery tour, and for getting us back to our ship in a timely manner. Would recommend!

The trip was amazing. Roberto was a great guide leading us to the best possible aurora experience. The cookies and tea were a real treat. Roberto is a very relaxed driver, we felt super safe in his hands. Forever thank you Roberto.
It was an amazing experience with Roberto, my mom only speaks spanish so it was great to have a spanish speaking guide, we were able to see great northern lights and it was a great experience overall!
Seeing the northern lights was always a dream of mine, thanks to this tour - it came true. There is no other tour with better value for the insane results you can potentially find, highly recommend!!
I wish I could give 10 stars. Roberto really deserves it. Very passionate and profesional. He told us clearly the plan from the beginning and was constantly updating us regarding the chances of viewing the Auroras. We had to drive 2 hrs to catch the first auroras and with time passing by, they were getting stronger and stronger. Roberto is very frienldy and kept making us photos, never got tired of us! Will recommand to all my friends and family!
I just have one word for this experience: amazing! Roberto helps me to realize one big dream i had since i was a kid. He didnt stop to try found the northern lights for us. He said the nature decided but was him did full effort. Thank you very much 🇵🇹🇵🇹
Roberto is the best guide I have ever met. He did everything to make us live an extraordinary experience. He wanted us to see the northern lights, and even though at the beginning there were few chances to see them, we finally did — and he took a lot of amazing pictures. I totally recommend this tour, but be sure that your guide is him. Roberto es el mejor guía que he conocido. Hizo todo lo que estuvo a su alcance para que vivamos una experiencia extraordinaria. Quería realmente que veamos las auroras boreales, incluso el pronóstico no estaba a nuestro favor, finalmente las vimos, y él tomó fotos encantadoras. Recomiendo totalmente este tour, pero asegúrate de que Roberto sea tu guía.
Shout out to Roberto for being the best tour guide ever! His enthusiasm for the lights was infectious and he was very invested in giving our group the best possible chance of success for seeing the lights. He took amazing pictures to capture the memories and gave great information about the northern lights. Ultimately it’s up to Mother Nature if the lights happen but Roberto made the experience fun for us all no matter what. We were so lucky to have had such a special moment with a great show of the lights the night we went! We would definitely recommend this tour group!
We had a lovely time seeing the Northern lights. Like anything it depends on the weather/nature- the lights can change within minutes. We appreciated Roberto's communication in changing our booking to a different day and earlier start time (due to travel) to give us the best chances. we moved to a couple of spots to give the best views but also to try to ensure that we did see the lights. We had a lovely night and recommend you book with Pardise norther light. Our only critique: the pick up location is used by multiple tour operators and we weren't sure which was ours. A sign, hat something would be helpful.
We searched for a long time to book the perfect excursion by Minibus. We found the perfect excursion and of course with the best guide you could wish for, Roberto. Everyone should book the excursion with Roberto, Roberto is simply incredible, he spares absolutely no effort to find the Northern Lights for his guests. We drove almost as far as the Finnish border, and the Northern Lights we saw there cannot be described in words. It was like a fairy tale, a sky full of Northern Lights fireworks. We can recommend Roberto 200% and would book any trip with him again.
Roberto was fantastic and really motivated to help us see the NL.. 10 out of 10! We saw amazing colors and movement..magical
amazing value for a small group tour in a small mini bus. Roberto was very knowledgable on predicting the northern night. It was very cloudy night and we hunted many places before Roberto using experience predicted where the next opening in the sky and we saw the northern light for one hour. At one point we thought we may not see it due to the heavy clouds. Roberto persisted and we were rewarded. Highly recommend. Thanks very much
Unfriendly guide, cheat on the refund policy. They said they offer a 60% refund if we didn't see the aurora, while they change the discription before the activity start
We had such a memorable experience and I would 100% recommend this tour. Roberto worked really hard to ensure that we were successful in seeing a beautiful Northern Lights display and was very knowledgeable and interesting. Don’t hesitate to book! Thank you Roberto.
What an incredible trip! Roberto is a one man show - he drives and is the tour guide and is the photographer. He was determined to find a spot for us, and he did. Turns out he set a trend because other groups followed him to where we were, if that shows you that he knows what he's doing. I highly recommend doing a mini bus tour over a large bus tour, the extra cost is worth it. And when doing a mini bus tour, finding a tour that has a guide that is willing to drive far to see the lights makes all the difference - and that is Roberto. Finally, he had the photos ready for us within a few hours of ending the tour. Amazing!
Roberto is the best. He makes sure you have a wonderful experience watching one of nature’s best spectacles. Don’t even think about it. Book your tour with him.
We had an unforgettable experience with Paradise Northern Light! Roberto, the owner and guide, was exceptional. From the start, his passion and expertise were evident. He was incredibly informative, sharing fascinating details about the northern lights and the science behind them. Roberto went above and beyond to ensure we had the best chance of witnessing this natural wonder. He carefully analyzed weather conditions and took us to the perfect location. After a few hours of searching, we were rewarded with a spectacular display of the northern lights—it was absolutely magical! The experience was made even better by Roberto’s attention to detail and his photography skills. Thanks to him, we came away with breathtaking pictures that we’ll treasure forever. If you’re in Tromsø and want a professional, dedicated, and passionate guide to help you chase the northern lights, look no further than Paradise Northern Light. Highly recommended!
I was a solo traveler by myself going towards Kilpisvari and I met Roberto at a restaurant stop on my way. Even though I was not on the tour I asked him a couple of questions about locations and what kind of apps he used for chasing. He without any issue shared with me some tips but what made Roberto 5 stars is that when he found out I was traveling alone to chase the lights he insist I take his phone number just in case I ran into any road problems or needed help. I was not apart of his tour group but the fact he gave me his contact information to reach out if I had any emergencies happen was a class act and it shows that this guide cares not only about getting you to the lights but he also cares a lot for your safety. 5 stars 5 stars Book here and you will be in safe hands with Roberto
We arrived at the pick up spot on a cloudy rainy Tromso night and didn’t think we had a chance of seeing the lights. WRONG, the amazing Roberto drove two hours to a cloud free wilderness area in Finland and we had lights dancing around us for almost two hours in two separate locations. The thermal suits provided kept us snug in the Arctic winds. Roberto is clearly passionate about the lights and goes above and beyond to get you to see them. His photos of us arrived promptly the following morning. HIGHLY recommended 🤩🤩🤩🤩🤩
The guide was wonderful! He took us to several spots to chase the Northern Lights and captured many beautiful photos for us with his professional camera—the results were stunning! He also taught me how to set up my phone to capture the aurora. I’m grateful for his dedicated service. This was an excellent tour with a very professional guide.
Fantastic. Roberto is an amazing guide. I went 2x. At first he did his part but nature didn't help. The second time went well. I highly recommend.
Our guide Roberto apart from great professional made us the unforgettable experience watching the northern lights as they danced above you. I advise 100 percent to carry out the tour
The experience is uniquely stunning views of the Northern lights. Our guide was Roberto a very polite and empathetic person all the time available to make the visit unique. He was careful with everyone offered us the outfits to be warm chocolate and snacks. Doubtless ask for your guide is the ideal complement to this adventure. Au
Roberto has been the best guide we could ask for, very detailed explanations, snacks and hot chocolate midway through the expedition helped us warm up, and the photos he has taken of us all are SPECTACULAR. They really are a lifelong memory. 10/10 HIGHLY RECOMMENDED
The tour was spotless. Roberto’s energy and enthusiasm really were infectious and we managed to see beautiful auroras and capture unforgettable photos. Super recommended. Thank you.
I went to my family last night, it was wonderful. Roberto super worried about helping us see the auroras. At first it seemed difficult but his persistence and professionalism, led us to cross to Finland to enjoy the dance of the auroras. If you come to Tromsø choose this tour with Roberto that you will certainly not forget. He also made us some beautiful photos, with which we can remember this great gift of nature!
Thanks to Paradise Northern Lights and Roberto for making this experience the best memory of our vacation.
Spectacular experience. The great guide, the place, the auroras...magical. The pictures he took of us, the advice he gave us. Something unrepeatable
La nostra avventura alla ricerca dell’aurora boreale con Roberto è stata semplicemente indimenticabile. Partiti alle 18 a bordo di un confortevole minibus, abbiamo attraversato paesaggi incantati, effettuando diverse soste strategiche per scorgere la tanto desiderata aurora. Nonostante le ore trascorse e le speranze che iniziavano a svanire, Roberto non ha mai perso la determinazione. Proprio durante il viaggio di ritorno, intorno alle 2 di notte, con un colpo di scena degno di un maestro, ha fermato il mezzo in un piazzale isolato e ci ha invitati a scendere rapidamente. Sopra di noi, il cielo si animava con una danza luminosa: l’aurora boreale si manifestava in tutto il suo splendore, simile a una ballerina eterea che volteggiava sopra le nostre teste. La competenza e la passione di Roberto hanno reso possibile questo momento magico. Consigliatissimo per chi desidera vivere un’esperienza autentica e mozzafiato.
Excelente atención , nos encantó todo, pudimos ver las auroras y fuimos muy felices . La comida rica, el transporte muy bueno
Roberto made us live an amazing night. He has a passion for finding Northern Lights like few others in Tromso. Do not hesitate to book with him, he will make you live a unique experience.
All flawless, Roberto is a real aurora hunter. Despite the rain and cloud cover I managed to find the place where the auroras appeared. I recommend this tour, much better than another that you take without success... 100% first choice. Greetings from Chile ;)
We booked well in advance our activity, the day we arrived on Tromso the weather was not ideal and the chances of seeing the Northern Lights were really slim or none ... but we did not know Super Roberto with all its qualities! We took the road to Finland under a snowstorm. Roberto was taking care of us not knowing what more to do to please us. A first stop and beautiful aurora borealis... 30 more minutes of minibuses and there we returned to a clearing in the middle of the forest to admire for hours beautiful aurora borealis. Super Roberto with great care had prepared us a table with hot drinks, traditional cupcakes ... Roberto took our picture with professional equipment and less than 24 hours later we had all the pictures at our disposal. Minibus very comfortable, cold suits available. Everything was perfect
