Unforgettable Northern Lights experience - Amazing experience to chase the Northern Lights. Small group of six means it’s more personal (we also did a minibus tour with another company and this was notches above). The guide paid attention to every small detail from thermal suits to head torches to camp fire, hot chocolate and reindeer stew. He chose a beautiful area with a lake which added stunning reflections to the photos. He provided useful information and judged the time and place well. His professional photos came out thoroughly impressive. He was good with my 9 year old child which was important as I know some tours don’t accommodate younger kids. Would highly recommend.

Magical, fun interesting, beautiful, adventuresome and was 2 of the best days of my life! - We took two trips with Nico and they were fantastic! We did the day tour visiting islands and the Northern Lights Tour at night. This guide is truly passionate about what he does and cared so very much about his customers and if they are happy. He is very knowledgeable about the area! I must have asked hundreds of questions and he could answer them all. The days with Nico were magical and he took so so many great pictures for us to own/keep. BOOK WITH THIS COMPANY! You will not be disappointed! Kimberly and Stephan from Germany

Amazing - We had bad weather in Tromsø, but Nico went above and beyond and drove us all the way to Finland to find clear skies. He truly gave his all to bring us to a location with a beautiful landscape, no crowds, and the perfect conditions. It was a long night, but absolutely worth the wait — we witnessed an incredible aurora explosion that was simply unforgettable. I would book with Nico again without hesitation — a 100% five-star experience! Thank you!

Offroad Northern Lights Adventures - From the start, even before I arrived in Tromso, Nico was always responsive to my queries on the correct equipment to bring. During the tour, he is always checking on everyone to ensure they are warm enough. He definitely goes to offroad places where you get the quiet away from the bigger tour groups. Would definately reccomend if your looking for an intimate Northern lights tour.

Magical - The night of 18 September 2025 was our first time hunting the light and I am glad that it was with a guide and happy that it was Nico. Having read the weather forecast for clouds, he drove us to a secluded open area with clear skies and once we were in our thermal suit, as if on cue, the aurora appeared and stayed and moved in different forms for probably around 2h! We were really lucky. We were able to see the aurora dance, tried taking photos with our phones and have Nico taking photos of us with an actual camera. Even though this sort of tour can be unpredictable due to mother nature, Nico somehow managed to plan a toilet stop before the location and another toilet stop while driving us back to the hotel. It was also nice hearing about how he started these tours and I will definitely want to join one of his photography tour if I ever pick up photography, if not, another attempt to hunt the light will be great too.

Unforgettable experience - I had a lovely time on my aurora chase trip with this company. The guide Nicola took us to the place far around 1 hour ride from Tromso and we were the only group there. It was a nice spot at the lake surrounded by the mountains. The aurora was quite strong and we could see it for more hours which was a great experience. We also received a lot of nice pictures of ourselves and landscapes quicky after the trip. Would definitely recommend!

Amazing supernatural experience - We went for aurora chase with Nico at the end of March. Not only we were extremely lucky to have a blast with a magnificient lights display that lasted for like 5 hours (which is quite raw) , we could also face this experience in a beautiful nature! 😍 This could only happen because Nico took us with his 6x seats 4X4 to a secluded spot to arrange this intimate experience just for the six of us which felt supernatural. He's the best aurora guide we've ever met knowing some of the most stunning spots and also taking care of all individuals in his group. At last but not least his photos are simply gorgeous - not oversaturated with useless filters but a great composition and background on the pics! If we ever get back to Tromso we'll only go for the northern lights trips again with him. Grazie mille for an unforgettable memory, Nico! 🤗

Great experience - Despite relatively bad weather forecast Nico had the right feeling and found a cloud gap. Thanks to the 4x4 we were able to admire a unique spectacle in the sky off the big road with views of water and mountains. The wonderful photos he took of the group and the Northern Lights were later made available to us online. His explanations about Aurora and the weather forecast were also extremely interesting. Overall highly recommended!

One of those moments I’ll never forget! - Nicola is an amazing guide—super knowledgeable, easygoing, and really makes you feel at ease from the start. He knows exactly how to read the weather, where to go, and how the northern lights work. Sure, the aurora is always a bit unpredictable, but with Nicola you seriously boost your chances of seeing it. He’s got a solid network and some high-tech tools to find the best possible spot. Thanks to him, we saw an incredible aurora show! Afterward, he built a fire, served us a delicious soup, and we spent the rest of the night chatting and laughing. He even managed to turn a group of strangers into friends—it felt like we’d known each other for ages. It was honestly one of those nights I’ll never forget. If you’re dreaming of seeing the northern lights, Nicola is 100% the guide you want.

Best photo tour guide - Nico was an outstanding Northern Lights tour guide! Despite challenging weather conditions, his expertise, intuition, and deep knowledge of the region made all the difference. He adjusted the plan as needed to maximize our chances, and thanks to his persistence and skill, we managed to witness the Aurora and capture some amazing pictures—an unforgettable experience. The fact that he drives a 4x4 gives him great flexibility in finding good spots, away from other groups. The next day, we took another tour on a big bus, and the experience wasn’t nearly as enjoyable. Nico also set up a smokeless bonfire—unlike every other tour we had previously taken— which is a big bonus so you don’t stink afterwards, and gathered us around to explain the science behind the lights while we enjoyed an amazing meal and hot chocolate. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a small-group experience (which, in my opinion, is a must) with a dedicated and passionate guide!
