Chase the Northern Lights from Tromsø in a small minibus, with thermal suits, hot drinks, and Roberto’s professional photos.

“The guide, Roberto, was very responsible in ensuring our safety during the trip. He found us an exclusive spot to see the Aurora and used his professional camera to capture memorable photos for all the participants. Thermal wear was provided to keep us comfortable in the extreme cold while waiting for the northern lights. Unfortunately, on March 19, 2025, our car had a fussy participant who kept making noise and unreasonable complaints about the guide and other participants.

It was a 7 hour trip and Samuel was friendly, professional and catered to our every need. The night ended with and explosion of dancing lights overhead. It was a spiritual experience for us. I have waited a lifetime for this experience and so thankful we were able to see them! Would love to bring my kids and grandkids to experience the lights. I can’t recommend Greenlander Tours highly enough! Thanks to Markus for setting…”

He explained the Norwegian culture, took us on an extra hike to a waterfall , and made our adventure memorable. The Fjords were breathtaking. So beautiful and eye opening.

We also had incomplete information of the Flam train’s direction of reverse direction and us facing backwards again.…”
