“Very lovely hosts! We forgot our drivers licence which ended up being a blessing in disguise. It allowed us to focus fully on the beautiful landscape and us both being passengers had a lot of fun with them being super capable drivers! They occasionally went very fast with us which was so much fun. Many of these tours feel very streamlined and make us feel like tourist parcels to be dealt with but the people at this camp feel more personal in interaction.

“The owners are phenomenal!!!!!!!! The vessel had plenty of room below to get out of cold. The food was amazing. You can tell they really love what they do. We went out on an overcast night with not much expectation of seeing anything. The Captain was still optimistic that there was a chance. We mothered for a bit and the we saw a break in the clouds.

The Captain and his wife both went around offering to take photos…”

The welcome drinks, board games, reindeer stew and all other arrangements were exceptional :D Of course the weather was great, allowing us to enjoy the aurora buffet - but even the cruise experience alone was wonderful. Definitely recommending this activity to be added to your Tromso itinerary!”
