It was great, Marius and Hasan keep us updated at all times before the tour and informed us the change of departure time before the tour (this may happen when the day light is longer like our case). Things to pay attention, there are no toilets on the tour, but you are prompted before the departure. We are also offered different options when we did not see the lights the first time and it was followed up immediately the next day along with all the pictures taken. An enjoyable experience in the nature if you want to capture great pictures for Northern lights.

Marius was a great guide - kind and attentive. We were so lucky he found a spot that gave us a magnificent aurora show.

If I could give 10 stars out of 5 I would. This was maybe the best experience we had in Tromso. Maurice was phenomenal and absolutely put in 200% effort! He drove us about an hour and 45 mins out of Tromso so that we could see the lights. We were blessed with a very active night and were able to see the Aurora for about 2 hours as she danced through the sky and he was working so hard to capture great pictures of each group and of the Aurora and make sure everyone got hot drinks and food. It was an amazing capstone to our trip. It sounds like Maurice and the team know lots of locations to get around the weather and if you’re lucky with activity that they’ll give you the best chance they can to not only see the lights but also to take great photos of you with them. The food and transportation were great also! The drive flew by with excellent music choices. Seeing the Aurora against the backdrop of the Norwegian mountains was a true once in a lifetime experience!
