Not just the sights - Lucy put great efforts to make tour to remember - We were blessed to see northern lights on this tour. Our tour guide Lucy put in extra efforts to make sure we were comfortable throughout the evening. She was very much in control even though it was her first week working with this company. Tour office is conveniently located . Overall recommend Arctic Explorers!!

It is worth it and a sensational team! - On Sunday 21.09.25 the minibus was really full and we had 5 min. Northern lights... but on Monday 22.09.25 we were really lucky, in the minibus had a lot of space and especially the northern lights shone half the sky for 1.5 hours... it was fabulous! With the naked eye, the northern lights were seen in the colors white/grey/green/blue/red.

A dream comes true - Absolutely fabulous Northern Lights tour. Superbly organised and a heavenly evening on a beautiful fjord. The two guides made it perfect. The stories about the lights, the interpersonal interaction and the warmth of the guides made it an unforgettable experience. Great photos were taken and quickly uploaded. Rounded off by the dreamlike northern lights. As the guide said on the way there in the comfortable minibus, I will never forget Skarsfjord.

Once in a lifetime experience - Great tour guide and driver. We were fortunate enough to have perfect weather which meant an easy viewing of the lights. Things to note, the food provided is a freeze dried meal but nothing to drink for a while. So bring your own water. Also you may want to bring a quality camera to see the colors since the naked eye can see very little.

The weather was not cooperating, but they worked really hard to give us a great show! - It was a dark and rainy night in Tromso, and the chances of seeing the northern lights seemed astronomically low! We were told by our tour guide that they would try hard to find a place where there was clearer weather and hopefully we would see the Northern lights. We ended up driving a ways and eventually ended up at a spot in Finland to see them, and it was worth the time spent. Our guide, Nelson, was very accommodating and explained things along the way. Once there, he did a fantastic job, taking photographs, explaining to us how to take photographs with our devices and made a fire and feed us!😁 I suspect if the weather had been more cooperative, there would be a lot less driving and more Arora viewing, but they definitely put forth a huge effort to find a spot for us to view it. It was the only opportunity for us to view this on our trip, so we very much appreciated the effort they put into making sure that happened for us!😏

Fantastic Adventure! - We went to Tromso to celebrate my sister ‘s milestone birthday. Even though it was cloudy and raining in Tromso, nature gave us a pretty spectacular show and a lifetime of memories. Our guide Nelson and driver Martin made the whole experience fun and seamless. Loved it!

Spectacular, professional and super recommended - Fulfilling a dream is priceless!! It was spectacular. Transfer to facilities to equip TOP against the cold and give us info, route in search of clear skies, assembly of cameras and to enjoy. Campfire, stories, help setting up cameras or smartphones and much magic.
