This Northern Lights Small Group Tour is Fantastic - On Sunday, February 2, 2024, my wife and I were extremely pleased to be part of a small group tour to experience and see the majestic Northern Lights. We were extremely pleased with our tour guide George. He took us to one of the fjords, just outside of Tromso, Norway, where we saw the beautiful Northern Lights. George is very knowledgeable of the science behind the formation of the Northern Lights and he's an excellent Photographer as well. Within a couple of days of our tour, we received a link to the many photos that George took. The photos were just fantastic! I highly recommend this tour and give it a rating of Five Stars++++.

A magical night - George from Boreal quest is amongst the most knowledgable guides we met in Tromso. We did multiple tours and Boreal quest completely stood out on multiple fronts. Gerorge came highly recommened and we booked the tour for my husband and I. George picked us up in his comfortable and clean 4*4 Merc - the roofs were see through which helped us not miss even a minute of the beautiful skies. Right from the get go, he enagged both of us with his comfortable and friendly style. He was amongst the most knowledgeable guides as he broke down the phenomena for us in a very simple way to understand. We had multiple questions and George shared his answers and perspectives through the night which span across the geography of Tromso and Kvaloya, the constellations and planets to aurora facts. His experience and knowledge helped him choose the most beautiful spot by the sea where he set up a cosy bonfire with some chai and cookies and in parellel a great spot to capture the gorgeous night from the camera. We had an absolutely clear night and some great activity in the sky which George captured for us while also taking some portraits which are definitely going up on our photo wall. To top this all off, George offered us one of the best veggie lentil soups I have had in my life! Thank you George for an evening both my husband and I are going to cherish all our lives. Boreal quest definitely keeps up to the promise of creating a special evening under the sky, thanks to George and his special touch. I wish many more people like me get to experience this magic! While this company is not all over social media based on George's undertone style and not overt marketing, I really wish many many more people get to know and experience Boreal quest - It's truly special and magical!

Special Aurora viewing - Excellent guide, George really makes the people comfortable and would go out of his way to accommodate us. Punctual collection, timely communication and very well organised. We definitely recommend him for a wonderful Aurora experience. We loved the soup and cookies, foot warmers, the fire, the warm overalls - everything! We will surely pass on your super service to others and keep up the good work 👌🏻

This experience restored my faith in northern lights - We went 2 days earlier to see the northern lights with another guide, and we were disappointed. We even felt scammed. We gave it another shot and, oh boy, it was amazing. George knows his stuff. We were lucky with the solar activity, but the fact that George started the tour earlier than the other guys, he checked the solar activity and forecast to find the best solutions, plus the camp fire and the stories made this a wonderful experience. Even the photo quality is amazing. Thank you, George, for restoring my faith in the ability to see the northern lights.

Very Special Experience! - We had the best Northern Lights experience with Boreal Quest & George! Although you never know with the nature of the Northern Lights, George knew just where to take us to give us the best chance of seeing them, even with a forecast & real-time weather that was changing rapidly. He was the best guide with lots of knowledge to share, reliable, on time, responsive to communication, and served us delicious homemade soup that he made during our adventure. Who knew he'd even take our family picture with the Northern Lights in the background! Such a treasured memory to have and what a special experience!!

It is really Chasing :-) - George did a Great Job. Comfort Mini Van with 7 People. Great to be off Traffic. Great to be off the huge Tour Busses. Great Fire Place and well prepared Lentile Soup in Hot Jarrs… on a Small Plateau overlooking the Valley. George had all Satellite, Ionization, Wheather Apps and Softwares… and connected with friends to find the Spots in the sky. But finally you have to be Lucky… and we wäre

Memorable experience! - Well organised, very professional guide and also a really nice person who did everything he could to find the lights and give us a memorable experience. The only reason we don’t rate it 5 stars is that it’s a little expensive.
