Unforgettable search for the Northern Lights - We went on the Northern Lights safari with Karina in a small group, with lots of information. She gave us a very personal insight into her beautiful homeland. At the end, after a long night tour with a picnic, we were still amazed by the Northern Lights. Thanks to Karina and Wencke for this extraordinary experience! We always like to think back. If we go to Tromsø again, we'll go with Scan Adventure. Willi and Marianne

Karina is fantastic - Absolutely brilliant tour we loved it! Karina had so much passion for the Aurora even after chasing them 20+ years! She didn't give up, we got a small sighting in Tromso but drove all the way in to Finland where we were treated to 40mins of the most amazing light show! Karina drove safely through many blizzards and made us laugh. She is a credit to the company. Thank you so much this was a gift for my partner's 50th. We absolutely loved it!

Someone who can infect you - with her own passion for Northern Lights - We were cruise ship guests and booked this tour. I asked many providers, but no one was willing to give us a guarantee to deliver us back on time to reach our cruise ship. She was the only one. And we were picked up in front of the cruise ship pier. It was well prepared, even with homemade cakes and hot beverages. For those who do not have the right equipment to take pictures, she shared the pictures she took so that all of us could share the results of our safari. So we passed the place the ship's buses went to, and we went farther than them. In total darkness, she helped to set up our cameras for the perfect shot. On the way back: she checked all the time with updated information and stopped twice. So we had the chance to see some Northern Lights with the camera - just with our eyes. We had to see "dancing" lights - in green - red - yellow. Mirroring in the surface of a lake.

Karina a great guide - We were collected by Karina in her car as there were only 4 guests. Right from the beginning she made us feel at home. She had a great manner, she was very informative and amusing. Her English is really good. Our safari was quite an adventure and she was determined that we see the Northern Lights. She persevered until we had quite a show and she took great photos as well, despite the -19degrees plus wind chill! She's very conscientious and a pleasure to be with. Thanks Karina!

Very good trip! - Great trip. Despite the rather poor weather forecast, we drove all the way to Finland and found a great spot! Thanks for the memories! Karina - our guide - also did a great job in hosting everyone and keeping everyone motivated. Thanks!

Best birthday ever - Great experience, facilitated by Karina who is very experienced in doing the "chase". We went about 2 hrs out of Tromsø due to a snowstorm and was rewarded by lady Aurora after our efforts. Made my birthday wish come true to see the NL, and Karina even gave me a bday treat, quite unexpected and a truly.nice surprise. I did the chase with another group for comparison but like her personalized approach the best. Highly recommended!

So happy and excited to see the aurora - Thanks so much to Karina our guide, and driver, Robert. First stop after a punctual pick up outside the Magic Ice in Tromso, was to the office to kit out those with thermals who needed it. Onwards. Karina telling us all about the lights on our way to search the lights, the level of activity and showing us the satellite picture of the aurora on her phone. She did it! Spotted first from the bus window, we decamped and soon were able to see it unfolding, not for long. For those who spent all the time setting up their cameras, the moment could be lost. To just to stand and stare.........Onwards again, this time stopping after spotting it again through the bus window, air very clear and cold at -9. It travelled across the clear sky, colours emerging. Karina helped those who again wanted photos, she also took photos of everyone against the sky, then produced coffee, tea, cake and chocolate. Lovely. Picked up 7pm and back at our hotel at 1am, after travelling to near the Finnish border. Well done Karina and Robert for finding them for us, such a small window of opportunity. Only small critisism, the Mercedes bus seats could be rather too small with all those added layers on!

Great of Scan Adventure - The tour guide was very friendly and helpful. It well organized. The guide explained a lot about northern light, but also about Norwegian’s way of living on her way up north.

Nice experience - We were picked up at the right time and after a short introduction we were dove to a warehouse where received our isolation overalls and drove to our destination to see the nothern light. This was a very nice experience and the excursion leader showed how to make right pictures. After receceiving a snack and hot drink we drove back to our Tromsoe hotel.

Good trip overall - Have done this tour previously during a different visit. The first stop is perhaps not ideal as it faces a harbour with quite a few lights, it is also situated next to the main road so we had quite a lot of the glare from the headlights all the way around the mountain side where your camera would be positioned. We spent quite a bit of time there which perhaps was too long, in my opinion, but I can appreciate that perhaps we just didn't have a very strong night sky there at the time. Second stop was better and more ideal. We managed to capture some of the lights here more clearly and I think it would have been a more preferable spot after so long at the first location. Guide was friendly, polite and helpful and was happy for the tour to go to it's full allotted time. It is also appreciated that you can download the guide's photos from your tour incase your own camera is not suitable/fails or you just don't manage to capture them as clearly. Would recommend if staying in Tromso but think the location of the first spot needs to be reconsidered. Happy to share our own photos upon request.
