The absolute BEST way to see the northern lights! - Captain Kenneth and his wife Sachi have created the most amazing experience on this stunning vessel! What a joy to meet them and see the enthusiasm and excitement for the lights that matched our own. It was definitely the highlight of our trip and the PERFECT ending to our 10 day Tromso adventure! We went on New Year's Eve, which if you've never experienced in the city of Tromso, it is indescribably magical! Fireworks are literally EVERYWHERE throughout the city for HOURS! So imagine it: you're on this incredible, beautiful ship, hosted with the best food and lifetime experience of knowledge from your captain all while seeing the absolutely stunning aurora lights PLUS fireworks all around you and as a bonus, there is a HOT TUB on board? I truly could not recommend this experience more highly and am already planning my next visit to this magical place. Thank you so much, Captain Kenneth and Sachi for the so very special experience. We will all remember it forever.

Perfect excursion! - This was exceptionally delightful experience. Our boat was crewed by a husband and wife. He was a 27 year Norwegian Navy veteran and lifelong resident of this area. He got just as excited about Aurora Borealis as we did. His wife was the best hostess and chef. Her reindeer stew was beyond fantastic. We would book with them every time and we did see northern lights, and stayed very comfortable the entire time!

If you do one trip- do this one - This was an absolute highlight of our trip and one of the most magical experiences of my life. The captain and his wife are both beautiful people who love not only what they do but the city itself and their passion shows. The reindeer stew was lovely and the inside of the cabin is not only charming, but toasty warm and a perfect place to spend a bit of a time getting warm between checking out the views. The hot tub was also great and there's a system so each couple/group get time to soak. We did see the lights but even if you don't being out on the water and talking to the captain is a magnificent time. This is a trip I would do again in a heartbeat and is worth every cent.

hot tub boat trip - We loved this trip! Small and intermit instead of being with a whole bunch of people. We loved the home made soup! Unfortunately we didn't get to see the northern lights very clearly, but enjoyed the hot tub experience.

Highlight of our trip to Tromsø - Do this tour! The captain and his wife are both absolutely lovely people who will ensure you have a good trip. We went out in a clear night and the stars from the boat alone are worth it. However, we were lucky and the northern lights put on a great show when we were in the Hot Tub. This was an experience like no other! Food and drinks are also good, the ship is clean and the atmosphere is perfect. Would definitely do it again. 12/10 experience!

Amazing night on the water in Tromso - This excursion was extraordinary. The owners of the ship, a husband and wife, worked together to make this trip amazing. He captained the yacht and she took care of us and made dinner, which was pretty much the best meal we had in Tromso. It was cloudy and we didn’t get to see the northern lights from the ship this time, but the experience was incredible, the views were amazing and we couldn’t recommend this experience enough.

Nice host and delicious... - Nice host and delicious soup. Considering the bad weather, we would appreciate the tour was cancelled earlier. We didn't manage to depart and stayed at the dock throughout where we saw the weak aurora. This could be done without a tour costing hundreds, the plus point was the hot hub for not more than 4 pax at one time.
