Truly enjoyed the experience. Our guide, Max, was knowledgeable and shared plenty of factual information about the Northern Lights. He was also considerate and took our individual pictures with his own camera and shared it with us. Truly a great time and worth the experience.

No bathroom facilities available for 6 plus hours because pick up place was in the open; several tour groups waiting so it was confusing. No flashlights for tourists to use from/to the van during night time conditions. Very dangerous to walk to the gathering place due to snow over rocky area where we finally settled. No way to get away from the elements other than go back to the van. I fell once (slipped on a rock) on the way to the meeting area. My husband fell 3 times on the way to the van for there was only one tour guide for 15 people and he was busy taking pictures. Tour guide offered to take and share pictures with us but link received was for reduced quality pictures. If higher resolution desired, one has to buy his pictures. Pictures also copyrighted. No mention of this when he offered to take pictures for us and share them or prior to taking the pictures of participants. Felt like a bait and switch technique after the fact. We did see the Northern Lights that evening. The van had issues with the passengers sliding door--several of us got trapped in the van until the driver came back about 15 minutes later. Prepared food not shared with passengers taking shelter in the van even though guide had stated they would bring it over. I had to use the "reindeer" toilet (outdoors; no porta-potty) and use my own tissue and sanitizer (none available).

We were fortunate with good weather and great guides so we experienced the Northern Lights in a beautiful setting. Hermann gave a good explanation of factors needed for sighting as Carolina drove us to a spot away from Tromso and predicted weather patterns that might make it more difficult to see the lights. After a bathroom break, we arrived at a beach where the lights almost immediately started. Hermann helped with camera setup and clothes boots. It was abit challenging for us older folks as the beach was rocky but seeing the lights in this setting was magical. After over an hour the lights stopped. A campfire was set up where we had cookies hot drinks and roasted sausages. We were returned to the dock at around 1am. The next day, we received the photos from Hermann There was a problem with ours which took 2 days to get corrected but it was fixed and sent to us. Excursion was 100% as described on website. Yes, a charge for guides professional photos but the pricing of the excursion for us was excellent value for the experience we received. Well taken care by friendly experienced guides. Highly recommend.

The Aurora Borealis tour with Harry and Camil provided an unforgettable experience under the shimmering Northern Lights. From knowledgeable guides to cozy fire camp with sausages & cookies, every aspect was meticulously arranged. Their attention to detail ensured a seamless adventure. Highly recommended for anyone seeking an enchanting encounter with the mesmerizing Aurora Borealis. Harry is a talented photographer and storyteller too.
Thank you, Natasa & David

It was an amazing trip, with a very great guide who explained us a lot about the northern lights even in its physics aspects. And a bit about camp fire cooking. ;-)
We had a lot of luck with really great lights!

Another excellent experience with Northern Horizon, and Bert this time.
He managed to find the right spot, even though the night was quite cloudy over Tromso. We went to a remote valley, where we found clear skies. We had the change to watch wonderful auroras for several hours over our heads, including 2 additional stops on the way and back to Tromso. Bert’s pictures are amazing, and he was a great guide, made the group feel at ease around the fire, telling us a lot about auroras, and other stories. Very memorable moments. I fully recommend and hope to be back !

We took this tour on March 13. We had Max as our guide and Carolina aka ice road queen as our driver. Max is a geologist/ photographer and he was phenomenal. He was knowledgable, kind, witty and provided an excellent night. He gave us an in depth description of the northern lights and sami culture. The photos we have from him are amazing. We had reindeer sausages around the fire, and got back to our hotel at a very reasonable time. We had booked a tour with a different company for the following night but I wished Northern Horizon had availability because we would have absolutely cancelled the other company and gone with them instead. The first few photos in the review are shot with my iPhone 12. The rest were provided by Max and we can still choose to buy the high resolution images later which we will absolutely be doing.
