Viewing the Aurora Borealis/Northern lights was an amazing experience, out of this world! We were so lucky to get a long, wonderful show, dancing lights and all at our very first stop not too far from Tromsø city. We still drove ahead for more sightings, though the subsequent one didn't have the dancing lights like the first. Brynjar, the guide was wonderful! He is friendly, kind, very passionate, and knowledgeable with good photography skills and will help you get the right settings on your phone or camera to capture the northern lights. He is very patient and will do his best to ensure you have the best of experiences. He spotted a moose by the roadside and stopped for us to see it. He connected very well with the people on the tour.
The bus (like a mini-van, so quite cosy, not a big 50-60 seater tour bus) was very comfy, with adequate leg space and charging points. The guide offered thermal suits and had more winter gear should you need one. He also had very nice hot cocoa/chocolate drinks (oh..this was lovely in the freezing weather) and cookies for everyone.
He took individual/couple or group of friends' portraits for those on the tour, with the Aurora behind us. He then shared a link with all the portraits and aurora photos the following day... which was great for those of us who couldn't get very good photos on our phones. I would highly recommend the Aurora tour with Arctic Breeze AS, made my first night in Tromsø! Thank you!
