One of the best aurora hunts you can find in Tromso - Many tourists make the long journey to Tromso with the aim of seeing the fascinating aurora borealis. However, the skies in Tromsö are often cloudy through the winter, which is why many local tourist companies offer so-called "aurora hunts": you travel inland in a smaller or larger group with a tour bus in search of open sky and strong solar winds. On Viator and Get Your Guide there are really numerous offers, most with a mix of good and less good reviews and yes, you are then "spoiled for choice". However, we can assure you here that you are at the absolutely right address with Geir Inge and Kine: They know what they're doing and they're passionate about it. You can sense rightly that the Northern Lights are not just "work" for them, they are a matter of the heart and they have given everything on our tour to offer us the best possible experience. They always had their eyes on the sky and drove to the side of the road as soon as there were strong aurora borealis in the sky. Thanks to their experience and attention, we were able to see the best aurora borealis even at 2am when we were already on our way back. Despite bad weather forecasts, we found incredibly great and strong lights and Geir Inge is a super photographer who took beautiful pictures of all of us and made them available to us via Dropbox the very next morning. Furthermore, we were provided with coffee, tea etc. and best homemade cake according to an old recipe of Geir Inges grandma. And if you live vegan or have intolerances, report it in advance and Kine will be happy to spoil you with other treats. In a nutshell: there is no guarantee of aurora borealis, but these two do their best for a great experience and know what they are doing. For them, customer satisfaction is at the center and they love their work. We would definitely go hunting with them again!

Wonderful evening with fantastic guides - This tour is run very professionally. Geir and Kine are incredibly warm, friendly people who prioritize guest comfort and safety, providing us with reflective vests, blankets, hot drinks, and even homemade Norwegian snacks. Kine took the time to explain the science behind the northern lights and everything that has to fall into place for us to see them, and Geir took photos of each guest in multiple locations. The weather was extremely cloudy and unfortunately we ended up not seeing the lights, but Geir and Kine tried their best to give us an opportunity, even driving all the way to Finland. Because we got back close to 3am, they even drove each guest to their respective accommodation to ensure they got back safely. Though we didn't see the lights, my group was lucky enough to still be treated to a show from Mother Nature as we had a very curious fox circle and observe the group for 30 minutes or so. Overall it was a very pleasant evening and I would not hesitate to book with them for another chance at seeing the lights if I return to Tromsø!

A fantastic experience,... - A fantastic experience, helped along by the luck of a sudden spike in solar wind, which allowed our group to witness one of the most spectacular forms of the aurora (the corona) alongside many other types of bands, beams, and swirls. This was an exceptionally memorable night. Huge thanks to Inge and Kine for sharing their knowledge about the science behind the aurora and for the beautiful photos!

Great trip with smaller group and wonderful experience. - Initially it snowed in Tromso and the outlook was not very positive to see the Northern Lights. We were told that the organization would do everything possible to make this possible. Several times they stopped to see if the sky would break open. As we drove on, the sky became clearer and, with the help of the camera, there were also beautiful northern lights. So impressively beautiful! Tired but so intensely satisfied we arrived back at our hotel after a 7.5 hour tour. Tips: make sure you have a good warm jacket, hat, gloves, long pants and shoes. On the bus it is wonderfully warm, but outside it is really cold, when you spot the northern lights. The hot chocolate was delicious as well as the Norwegian sandwich and cake. Please bring your own extra drinks. The local guides and the smaller group make the trip pleasant and personal, for us this was top. And.

What more to ask for? - This is the best and most professional guided tour for northern lights we have ever joined in Tromso! Geir Inge and Kine are really enthusiastic and they took really professional and amazing photos. They are extremely good at picking spots, they took routes and stayed outside in the cold for hours to spot northern lights for us, and prepared us really tasty homemade food and brown cheese toast. This is a tour that I would recommend everyone to join if you ever visit Tromso, and I will join their tour again when I visit Tromso again!

Breathtaking - We had a wonderful evening with Arctic Glow on our Northern Lights tour. We were lucky to have clear skies and plenty of activity, which made for a truly unforgettable experience. The hosts were incredibly engaging and shared really helpful tips on camera setup to help us get the best possible photos. We also visited a private beach, giving us an exclusive and unobstructed view of the sky. A genuinely memorable evening from start to finish.

Perfect! - Such a good tour, on a small mini-bus of maximum 19. Three guides, including 2 photoraphers, with the photos being included as part of the cost. They were all extremely friendly and knowledgeable. When they weren't taking photos they were speaking to speaking to people, telling them about the lights, seeing if they needed anything. I've never had more attentive guides on any tour i've done. Brilliant!
