Magical Northern Lights - To see the Northern lights has always been on my bucket list , so when me and my daughter booked our tour we did some research and decided on Northern Horizon, they use small mini vans so there is a maximum of 14 in your group.Our night was more than I could ever of dreamed of, it was totally magical. The weather forecast was not in our favour so we headed straight south to Finland , there we set up camp in the most incredible location on a frozen river between Finland and Sweden , the temperature was minus 25 degrees which is quite an experience, we were dressed for this but other travellers were not so were provided with thermal suits,. We toasted reindeer sausages and drank tea and hot chocolate while we waited for nature to do her stuff and sure enough she did . The aurora danced above us . It was absolutely magnificent we were able to see without the use of cameras and I took loads of pictures . I can not express how fantastic our guide Bert was , without his knowledge this would not of been possible and the images he took and we now have as memories are of the highest quality, he keeps you updated on the chase the whole way. Also a massive shout out to our driver Wojtek, we drove through some really poor conditions which he took in his stride and made us all feel safe and comfortable . I highly recommend these guys if seeing the Northern lights is as important to you as it was to me and my daughter.
Thank you Bert for an incredible adventure , I will treasure these memories forever .

Wonderful aurora viewing experience. - Had an amazing time. Harry was excellent and very knowledgeable and made the tour quite enjoyable. He picked out a quite beautiful spot for us to view them from and took some amazing pictures under the auroras. Quite pleased overall and would recommend.

Amazing tour 😊 -
It was an absolutely amazing experience from start to finish. Everything was well-organized and clearly explained, leaving us feeling completely at ease throughout the tour. Both our guide and driver were not only extremely helpful but also friendly and approachable, which made the experience even more enjoyable. While they couldn’t control the Aurora, our guide orchestrated the entire tour so seamlessly that it felt like every moment was perfectly planned. Their professionalism and passion for what they do truly stood out.
We learned so much about the sky, the stars, Northern culture, and the Aurora itself. The amount of knowledge they shared was incredible, and there wasn’t a single question left unanswered. On top of all that, we received stunning photos that captured the magic of the night—a memory we’ll treasure forever. It was an unforgettable journey, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a unique experience.

Knowledgeable tour guides and driver provided a great experience - The tour guides were passionate and knowledgeable about the area. They took us to a spot where they expected lights. When the clouds did not lift after an hour or so, they took us to a different area, where we were able to see the lights. The bus was comfortable, and having a toilet on board was why I booked this particular tour. The pictures taken by the guide and later sold online were not that great. They had too much distracting background and not enough focus on our faces. We returned at around 1 am, and it was a great experience.

Absolutely Amazing Experience! - We had an absolutely amazing and breathtaking experience!! We started with a rather cloudy evening in Tromso, but our guide Bert and his partner Kamil were extremely knowledgeable about the area and weather patterns, and got us to a spot were we saw the most unbelievable Northern Lights display. Along the way they set up a great campfire where we got to learn about and experience some of the local Norwegian culture. We were most impressed with Bert's enthusiasm and his desire to get us to the best place to see the lights. He also spent a lot of time fully capturing the evening on his camera so we could just focus on just taking it all in. We would absolutely recommend Northern Horizon to anyone and we would 100% go with them again!

Book it! You won’t regret it! - Our minibus arrived promptly, it was clean and comfortable and the guide Harry and driver Dominic were fantastic. They were our scientists, explaining everything about the aurora phenomenon, our historians, our guides, our entertainers, our cooks and experts photographers! We left Tromsø with overcast skies and not promising weather but Harry took us expertly to a spot almost 2 hours away to guarantee we would optimize our chances of seeing the northern lights. We were alone all night. No large uses or other groups and we had an amazing experience! If you are doubting booking this, please don’t. If there are auroras in the sky, Harry will find them for you. Excellent! Thank you!!!

Fabulous experience! - Harry quickly realized the skies were clear and took us to a viewing area about 35 minutes from our departure site. The results were magnificent as we saw the Aurora! He also took incredible pictures that we will always keep as a memory of our amazing time in Tromsø. Afterwards, we went to a further location and had a bonfire, food, drinks and experienced more Aurora. Sebastian, our driver, was masterful in getting us back safely in snowy, blustery conditions. Thank you Harry and Sebastian!

10 Stars for the Effort - It’s only a 4 star rating because the weather and solar winds did not cooperate with this excellent team. Max is an enthusiastic and informative guide and Sebastian drove on those frozen roads like a champ. We drove all the way into Finland looking for clear skies away from the snow storm. Max did a good job team-building and keeping our spirits up when there was nothing to be seen except snow. Then Max found a break in the storm on the way back and we got a chance to see a small display of Northern Lights. Max is an excellent photographer too and captured the moment for us on his camera. I would trust this team to give 110% again in the future, but be prepared for a potentially very long trip and maybe not the light show you were hoping for.
