We loved our trip to Norway! The highlight for us was seeing the Northern Lights on our minibus chase with Chasing Lights out of Tromso, with our guide Mickey and driver Ahmed. Despite the weather cancelling some of our activities, we still had a fantastic trip. Since our trip was over the Christmas holidays, we utilized the KimKim emergency whatsapp line several times for communication, which was very helpful! It was also great to have help processing refunds for tours and that were cancelled.

Seeing the Northern Lights on this tour was the main highlight of our trip. Our guide and driver were fantastic, and the provided suits kept us warm! However, keep in mind that since the point of this activity is to view the lights, if it's a good night anticipate not having a campfire or dinner until late (for us, ~10pm) because you will be enjoying the northern lights!

Quality of Experience
Food
The provided dinner for this activity was a choice between two "expedition meals" aka dehydrated backpacking meals -- I chose the vegan red curry and it was delicious! However I would make sure future guests know to expect this and that the meal may be very late depending on the lights that night. But the warm currant juice and cookies around the fire it was a cozy end to the night.
