An ABSOLUTELY out of this world experience. Weather wasn’t the best and our guide told us upfront that the forecast wasn’t looking good and wasn’t very confident that we’d have a good view of the aurora. BUT our guide Vinny never gave up and we found a good spot NW of Tromsø near the coast. At around 11PM the entire sky lit up with auroras and I can’t out into words how beautiful and amazing the experience was!! Arctic Breeze was wonderful to work with and overall I’d recommend them to anyone looking for the elusive northern lights! Highly recommend our guide Vinny.

Amazing! Brynjar was our guide and he absolutely nailed the location for the lights. In preparing for our trip to Tromso, weather was a concern. Brynjar insisted the apps and websites commonly used to forecast the lights and weather are not the best. I 100% agree with him as the aurora forecast app had a 7% chance of lights. I highly recommend keeping your reservation as they will hunt for the best spot. Brilliant!

The best tour ever ! 🔥💯 Roberto made our vacation! He showed us that he’s the Nm.1 guide in Tromso ! Where all others waiting to see the aurora from the side, Roberto searched the best place to catch the amazing aurora that i ever saw! We were directly under the light! I got goosebumps all over my skin! Would never forget it ! Thanks Roberto for your knowledge and your motivation 💯🔥

Oskar did a great job, you could tell he enjoys his job and was willing to give us a lovely evening. Despite the bad weather, we were able to take photos of the Northern Lights with our mobile phones and see them. Thank you Oskar for the lovely evening.

Mag, our tour guide was excellent. He took amazing photos of everyone on the tour and made every effort to find great views of the Northern Lights. Would highly recommend!
