Seeking new adventures About us

Founded in 2013, Enjoy the Arctic is a premier, highly-rated local tour operator based in Tromsø, Norway. Backed by over a decade of sub-zero field experience, we specialize in authentic daytime Arctic fjord tours and highly successful night-time Northern Lights expeditions. Traveling in spacious, modern 16-seater minibuses, our mission is to deliver professional, warm, and memorable wilderness experiences tailored entirely for everyday travelers.

From Local Passion to Unforgettable Arctic Adventures

It has been said that it is a privilege to see the “Lights” dancing on the night sky of the Northern Hemisphere. The few lucky of us that do have this wonderful opportunity, never seize to be amazed by the wonders of the Northern Polar Nights.

Experiencing the Aurora Borealis is one main bucket list wish for many. Having the experience and the enthusiasm for outdoor activities and photography, we thought about making up a team that would guide others in their quest to see the Lights.

How We Have Grown With Your Trust

When we first set out, we operated in very small groups of maximum 8 participants. Because we prioritized your comfort and went the extra mile on every single tour, our reputation grew. Thanks to the wonderful loyalty and outstanding reviews from our guests, we have expanded our fleet over the years.

Today, we are proud to run our expeditions using premium, winter-ready 16-seater minibuses. This format represents the absolute sweet spot for Arctic exploration: it is spacious, warm, and highly comfortable for families, couples, and solo travelers alike, yet it keeps the group size intimate enough to ensure flexible routing, cozy campfires, and personal attention from your guide.

Guided by Genuine Local Experts

A great adventure is nothing without the right people to lead the way. When you book a tour with Enjoy the Arctic, you are traveling with passionate, friendly, and highly experienced driver-guides who know every micro-climate, coastal road, and folklore story in the region.

Whether you are chasing the clear night skies all the way to the Finnish border, or exploring the hidden coastal gems of Sommarøy and Grøtfjord during the day with, you are in the safest hands. Our team manages all the complicated variables—from micro-climate satellite tracking and ice-road safety navigation to building cozy campfires and keeping the hot cocoa flowing.

Meet Our Expert Guides: Your Arctic Storytellers

A tour is only as good as the person leading it. At Enjoy the Arctic, our drivers and guides are not just navigators—they are professional photographers, outdoor experts, and friendly hosts who genuinely care about your safety and experience. When you join our expeditions, you are in the hands of seasoned specialists highly praised by our past guests:

  • Andrei: A true expert in astronomy and low-light photography, Andrei leads precision Northern Lights chases, masterfully tracking solar wind telemetry while sharing the fascinating science behind the Aurora.
  • George: Celebrated for his boundless energy and deep knowledge of local nature, George transforms daytime fjord tours into immersive explorations of Kvaløya and Sommarøy, ensuring every guest feels welcomed and inspired.
  • Alin: Renowned for their confident winter driving, sharp humor, and unmatched patience, they know exactly how to find gaps in the coastal cloud cover, ensuring a warm fire and clear skies even on difficult nights.

Why customers choose us?

  • Expert Arctic Guiding & Safety: Safety is our absolute priority. Our guides are trained in Arctic safety standards, first aid, and winter driving conditions. We monitor real-time satellite weather data and meteorological reports to ensure every route—whether chasing clear skies or exploring coastal fjords—is safe and optimized for success.
  • The Small-Group Promise: We strictly limit our tour capacity to a maximum of 16 guests per comfortable, heated minibus. Unlike large corporate tour buses, our small-group philosophy guarantees that every traveler receives individual attention, custom camera setup tutorials, and an unhurried, authentic experience around the campfire.
  • Professional Photography Included: We believe polar memories should be preserved perfectly. Our team consists of skilled night-photography coaches who provide hands-on help with your camera or smartphone settings, while also capturing high-resolution professional portraits of you under the Aurora, free of charge.
