Northern Horizon

They were professional and friendly and truly showed a genuine passion for the northern lights

The team that gave us our tour, led by Harry, was so knowledgeable and made the whole experience fun, even the long drive into Finland!

The tour was well organized and we liked the small group.

Our tour guide Simon is good, during the activity served us hot chocolate and sausage even explained about northern lights in detail. We received the photos next day which is quite efficient. Thank you

Poor communication and feedback, no photos received as promised

Tour organizer fulfilled all of their promises and provided a great experience.

Our guide and driver were very helpful, friendly, informative, and fun! We had a great time during the tour.

Outstanding

Instructor was good, however seemed much more interested in his photography than the overall tour. He seemed to get frustrated if I would shine light near his camera, while he was doing his timelapse.

- Punctual - Well organised - Knowledgable tour guide - Great photographer - Received photographs promptly - Excellent driving skills - Bus was warm - Good thermal suits and boots

Excellent and very knowledgeable

The guide was well informed and enthusiastic

They went out of their way to try and get us to see the aurora, driving all the way into Finland and trying to find the best spot to stop for a little fire and to wait for some light action.

Tour company was also very good

Very kind and professional guide, Harry. Told us all the insights about the origin of the Northen lights.

Our guide, Max, was just the best. He was really engaging and friendly and made us feel great during the whole trip. Super knowledgeable as well! We really appreciate having the tour with him.

Max was our guide along with Marcin. Both were great company throughout the tour - Max's experience and knowledge and Marcin's amazing driving on the icy roads. Unfortunately we had cloudy skies but Max put in all the effort to make sure we saw the lights. We drove for more than 3 hours to find a great spot with clear skies and man! The northern lights kept dancing above us the entire night. It was an experience of a lifetime! Highly recommend them!

Northern Horizon seemed great. They provided adequate information in advance, and everything went according to plan.

Well prepared and skilled

Burt and the driver know a lot and talked a lot - overall good but believe it’s better to separate groups by old folks that can’t stay outside for the duration and make us leave earlier

As above

Our guide Bert is passionate and knowledgeable about northern lights.

Max gave a detailed explanation of how the aurora works and how aurora forecasts work which was very helpful, and Wojtek did a great job driving us out there. Both Max and Wojtek were very enthusiastic and effective in helping with whatever we needed, including putting on the thermal suits and providing a hand to steady us when the walk got a bit hilly. Max took incredible pictures of the landscape and of us, and accessing the photos after the tour was easy. We had great luck in that we saw the aurora immediately. For the remaining few hours, Max and Wojtek kept us well fed with the sausages and well entertained with conversation and their own amusing stories. After the aurora had faded and we had had plenty of time to enjoy the food, drinks, and conversation, Max informed us that based on the forecasts and his conversations with another aurora expert he knows, we were unlikely to see the aurora again that night, so we went home without staying longer out in the cold than needed.

Excellent-Max our guide and the driver are passionate and incredibly knowledgeable about where to go and the factors that effect northern lights sightings. They both took excellent care of the group. Max is the best!

Herman, our guide was so enthusiastic and immediately gave us confidence that he would do his utmost to succeed in viewing the Northern Lights and he didn’t disappoint.

Harry was knowledgeable and informative. He kept us entertained and up to date throughout the tour. Despite the bad weather we were still able to see the northern lights all thanks to Harry’s expertise, perseverance and most importantly his love for the northern lights! We would definitely come back and join a tour led by Harry again.

110% effort to help us see the Northern Lights. Communication of the plans was excellent.

Fun and knowledgeable

Max was the best! Very informative and friendly. Feel Like he was a friend. Very genuine. Sent us his pictures the next morning!

The crew was amazing, Max was awesome as a guide, very knowledgeable but also funny and talkative which made the experience more enjoyable. Marcin was very an excellent driver and made us feel safe even with the difficult road conditions In general, this was the best experience possible, our family really enjoined

Provider was good.

Northern Horizons come highly recommended - the tour guides are passionate, knowledgeable and go above and beyond to give their clients the best experience night after night. Their enthusiasm and commitment is to be applauded... they are not in it to take your money and run - they want to give you the best possible experience.

Our guide Max was superb. Very friendly and knowledgeable

Good

Amazing fun enthousiastic caring guides. They definitely care that you an amazing experience

Bert was great!

What l really like about this provider was that they had warm suits and shoes for you to use should you get cold without a cost involved like some other companies

Top notch

GÉNIAL ! En plus il parlait français :-)

Our Guide Bert and driver who's name escapes me were top notch. They were able to find clear skies to show us one of the best Aurora ever. We got SO lucky but its also very much an attribute to our guides who clearly knew what they were doing, reading weather patterns etc to get us. They were knowledgeable, supportive, Bert was able to get my camera onto the correct settings, provided a tripod so my photos came out great. He also provided great photos from his camera too. Really cant fault the team that took us out.

Harry(our guide) is really friendly and told us a lot about the science behind northern light and how to photograph it. He set up a camp fire and we had some reindeer sausages. It was a great time. He also took photos of us which is a great memory.

Well organized

Superb, always giving information and updates

Victor, the guide was charming and caring.

I especially loved how our guide team made every effort to help us see the Northern Lights. They also did a fabulous job setting up dinner in a remote and safe spot in the forest. We had a lovely evening out in nature!

Excellent activity pick up on time, content and guides were excellent ,knowledgeable providing and excellent activity

The process of picking up for the tour went smoothly. The tour guide Bert offered practical information throughout the whole tour and led us to some great spots with excellent pictures to take home.

The tour was carried out by the company Northern Horizon. Our guide Max was very enthusiastic about explaining the scientific background of northern lights and about how weather conditions, light pollution and solar activity affect the chances of seeing them. Before the tour start Max checked the current conditions and made up a plan were to go to maximise our chances but had to change it on short notice when we saw them about 30min after departure from Tromsø. He guided us to an amazing open spot where we could marvel at the dancing lights around us and could take excellent pictures with reflections in the frozen river. After that he found us a nice place in a valley to set up a fire and grill sausages on a fork.

So we booked two northern lights tours. One with Manawa, which had us do the tour with Northern Horizon…and then we booked with another company I won’t mention the name of (it had amazing reviews, but was disappointed and would not book with them again). My husband and I would 1000% do the tour with Northern Horizon again. Bert with Northern Horizon was a great tour guide. Very passionate about his job and had great energy. He definitely made the tour what it was!

Harry was an amazing guide and our driver Kamil made sure we made it safely back at 2:30am. They worked very well together as a team

Max and the Northern lights was super helpful and did a great job

Bert & Andrzej are great guys, even the tour has so many stops, you have enough time to make a couple of photos and enjoy every beautiful spot they take you to!

Very well organized and thought out. Fun. I much appreciate the knowledgeable guides and their photography gave me more opportunity to enjoy the moment and not having to worry about taking pictures. I wish the guests who smoked would stay away from the group, though.

The guys are great, Max and Martin (sorry if I got the name wrong :) ) kept the mood positive and fun through the whole night, making sure we get the best possible experience!

Harry and team were amazing guides, they ensured everything was smooth. A lot of interesting information was shared about the Northern lights, they took our pictures and helped setup our camera. The bonfire, hot drinks, and good was a good touch. Overall, I would definitely recommend this activity with Harry and team to anyone looking to see Northern lights.

Got lucky getting Harry as the guide and Martin as the driver. He was extremely knowledgeable, funny, and helpful and they both made the night fun even before the lights made their appearance.

Simple and easy to book. Pickup point is convenient at the heart of Tromsø.

best provider in Tromso

Excellent

Great knowledge, great photos making for lifelong memories

Our guide and driver were both brilliant - enthusiastic, kind, helpful, patient. The guide helped me get my camera set up. He also took great photos and shared them with us after. Our driver (Andre I think?) was really kind when I got a bit flustered trying to put on the thermal suit/boots in the dark. If I had to make a suggestion for improvement for the activity provider, it would be maybe one less person on the bus because we were very squashed in the back seats with 4 people & it was a little uncomfortable.

We were very taken care of with thermal suits, food, warm drinks, dessert, and even bathroom breaks.

Max was incredible, he was so intentional with all of our stops and did everything in his power to ensure we got a glimpse of the magic!

The guide, Harry, is very communicative. Explained everything about aurora very clearly. And the plus point, they drop us right in front of our hotel. For me it was so nice as I stayed a little bit to the south away from centrum

Harry is an amazing guide. Knows a lot about the Auroras and he's always ready to answer any questions. Besides that he is also a really good photographer and helps us to take also the best pictures of the auroras.

Excellent

Max is very knowledgeable on the science behind the auroras. He worked so hard to get portraits of the each group.

Bert, our guide, was incredibly informative. He managed expectations, took our comfort into account when the winds picked up at our first location and found us a deserted beach sheltered from the wind to be mesmerized by 3 appearances by Lady Aurora.

Loved Harry's explanations and passion for the lights. He gave us scientific information, Nordic myths and made the evening personable.

Max was amazing and his knowledge just as good. The driver was experienced and the communication between your groups to find the best spot was reassuring.

Northern Lights Tours are well organized, experienced and ensure all participants have a great experience.

Harry was very personable , communicative, and knowledgeable.

The guides were great. They setup everything and left us to relax and take photos. I'm especially happy they are knowledgeable about every camera because they helped me setup my camera to take the perfect shot. Plus Max took professional photos of each group in front of the aurora, as well as some sky shots in case your photos didn't turn out. They were also knowledgeable and provided good Q&A on the journey to the sight.

Bret and Michael were great! Bret was very knowledgable and the pictures are awesome.

Northern Horizons, and especially Max and Michael were terrific. Super comfortable Mercedes van, Max was very knowledgable about the science behind the phenomenon, and also a great photographer who helps with camera settings, tripods, etc. Michael was a great driver, a great help with the thermal suits and all around, and also knowledgeable about the lights.

Bert and Michal were awesome! Both were knowledgeable, helpful and kind. The photos included in the tour are professional level and they provided tripods for those of us with our own cameras. They were able to help with settings on personal cameras and got some great shots of our party.

It was an amazing experience. Harry was very professional at explaining the phenomenon involving the Northern Lights and more! He immediately gave us amazing tips and explained to us how the pursuit for the lights would have happened that night. He constantly assessed the weather and understood perfectly where to go and HAZAAA we saw them! I urge everyone to book his tour, he is a great guide always there to help, make you feel welcome and to especially make sure you have a great time! I can't wait to go again next year and book his tour again, hands down the best experience out there! GRAZIE!!! Luca and Mirad

Barbora was extremely helpful and was making the trip very interesting giving us extra information. They did an excellent job at finding the spot for us to see the lights. Marcin: Best driver ever!

Guide and driver were lovely. Guide was checking the weather & working together with other spotters to find aurora despite bad weather. He also showed us how to adjust our phone settings to best capture the lights - the photos I came away with are incredible despite no fancy camera

The guides were amazing!

Experienced guide and driver. Very good food and drinks. Amazing proffesional pictures.

Brilliant!

Harry was a very knowledgeable and enthusiastic guide. He set us up with realistic expectations rather than wild promises, but was still able to deliver us to a great spot to view the Northern Lights despite the clouds coming in on all sides. We felt very lucky to have had this opportunity.

Northern horizons was great. Max and Marcin were the best team

Our guide and driver were very nice people, always looking out for us, telling us interesting facts about the lights, stories about themselves and helping us get the best experience possible.

Small companies are the best way to do the excursions, and I will certainly be returning.

That is the best activity.

Professional, safe, knowledgeable

10/10!

Max is highly motivated and super friendly. He provided the group with very interesting information about northern lights and answered all questions. Was a great experience with good vibes.

Harry could not have been a better guide - he was very friendly, knowledgeable and genuinely wanted us all to have a great experience

Harry was phenomenal. You couldn't ask for a better experience.

Northern Horizon Naturellement organisée dans le calme, avec beaucoup de bienveillance et de professionnalisme.. très bon esprit de « trappeur »

Le guide très gentil et a l'écoute. Un petit point d’attention à porter sur le matériel

Très bien

Harry a été super !

Harry est un instructeur très sympathique et expérimenté. Nous avons eu la chance de voir de très belles aurores! Merci encore.

Harry and André, our guides, are wonderful.

Adrien took all efforts to ensure we saw lights. The first three spots we went were cloudy so he kept trying and took us to a place that was clear.

Sam était vraiment super. Il a pris le temps de nous expliquer et de nous mettre au l'aise

Harry a été à la fois très sympathique, disponible et très professionnel. Il nous a prodigué beaucoup de conseils pour réussir nos photos ainsi que de nombreuses explications sur ce phénomène naturel. ! Il a optimisé notre sortie par sa persévérance afin de trouver le meilleur spot!
