Our guide Stig was amazing. He shared local and personal stories, history, insights. We toured on one of the coldest days in Oslo in 30 years. Stig brought hand and foot warmers for us and kept us moving so we could get warm!

Due to weather, we had to chase the lights rather than go to the outfitter's home base. Trina (our guide) was great - very enthusiastic and clearly has a lot of experience chasing the auroras. We had to drive to within 20 minutes of the Finland border, which meant a 2+ hour drive in each direction. We didn't get back to hotel until after 2 am, which was about an hour later than expected (and rough since we had an early morning flight to Bergen!)

Awesome tour and we even had good weather so we got to see the fjords!

Our guide John was very knowledgeable about the area and walked us everywhere in under 3 hours! Lots of hills! Great way to get oriented in the city.

We had to go to an alternate location due to bad weather, but the guide was knowledgeable, friendly and put safety first always. It was a good activity to be outside and active.

Nothing to see in the dark. Food was unremarkable. People (travelers) were not particularly friendly or encouraged to mingle/get to know each other.

This tour on a sunny day would be amazing. We had a gray/cloud/rainy day so we had to be inside most of the time. Kenneth, the captain, was great. We got a real sense of his love of being on the water. The small group enabled us to get to know other people which was nice. Hot tub was definitely a highlight. Others jumped into the cold arctic water (we did not, but might have if the weather was nicer!)
