Tromsø Nordlichtabenteuer in kleiner Gruppe

Auch wenn wir es nicht geschafft haben, die Lichter zu sehen, war es eine perfekte und unvergessliche Erfahrung, die ich höchstwahrscheinlich noch einmal versuchen werde (um die Nordlichter sehen zu können). Transport, Essen und warme Kleidung wurden zur Verfügung gestellt und wir wurden vom Personal gut betreut :)

Unsere Führerin Jessica und Fahrer waren unglaublich. Sie waren engagiert, freundlich, hilfsbereit und äußerst professionell. Könnte sagen, dass sie ihre Arbeit wirklich genießen

This tour company takes a very good approach: at the beginning you will be in the office for 20 mins receiving some important tips and trying warm boots and polar suits. The mini-van is well-equipped and spacious enough, and you get a nice video explaining everything about northern lights to kill some driving time. Tor (driver) is a fantastic guy, always very keen to helping people have a pleasant night, as well as telling as many stories as he can. Great guy! All the above is a set up that other companies that charge more money might not do in the same way, or fall short. I did three aurora tours, two with this company and last tour with another one, and the other company (more expensive) did not have some of these details. I cannot tell for the rest of tour guides though (there are dozens!). Having said all the above, aurora tours in the end are about finding norther lights, and how entertained you are during the night. And for this, the guide plays a fundamental part. Your night will be according to how outgoing and entertaining the guide is. My two nights with this company were a hit and a bit of a miss. Marilee was really nice and the night with her was very entertaining, it went very fast and we got to see some lights that night. The following night it was a bit different, and on that night the guide did not take care of people playing with spotlights hampering those of us trying to take long exposure shots. I am mentioning this because Marilee and the guide of the other company were very careful with ensuring no spotlight would ruin a shoot at any time of the night. But all in all, it was a very good experience with Arctic Adventure Tours, very much recommended. Oh! And the reindeer soup was superb, warm and very tasty. Excellent!
