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 âLightsâ 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.

Unfortunately we couldn't see it from our first location and relocated in another area where we were lucky enough to see it.
Andrei is very knowledgeable about the northern lights and shared his wisdom with us, even showed me how to better capture the lights with my phone.
While we were watching the lights, Andrei made a small fire to keep us warm, gave us coffee, tea and a delicious snack.
Everything was superb.
Thank you Andrei

Two experiences with Enjoy the Arctic.
The first one was for chasing the Northern Lights and the second one for the half-day Fjord tour.
Both tours were very well organized and efficient,... read more conducted in a small bus and with a small group.
For the Northern Lights tour, our guide, Andrei, was very friendly and an expert in forecasting to observe the phenomenon.
For the Fjord tour, Georges was a true expert and shared many subtleties during the trip, which was really interesting. The landscapes were also wonderful.
For both tours, we received professional photos at the end (by email). This was highly appreciated, especially for the Northern Lights, an unforgettable moment.
Thanks again, Andrei and Georges!

It helped that the weather was amazing and that... read more we were effectively on a private tour as a couple had cancelled but George (our guide for the day) looked after us really well. He was passionate about wildlife and nature and is obviously a great photographer too - he was kind and friendly and took us to his favourite spots on the trip. We visited Kaldfjord, Ersfjord and Grotfjord as well as the glacier lake. The beach at Grotfjord was simply stunning. George brought coffee and cake for when we were on the beach. He has also promised to send us some of the photos that he took. An excellent tour, good value for money and thoroughly recommended.

I joined the Enjoy the Arctic tour in Tromsø on 22 May â it was the first tour of the season, and since we were only three participants, it felt... read more very personal and special. Although the group was too small for the minibus/van, our guide and driver, Andrei, gladly went ahead with the tour.
We explored Kvaløya, stopping by picturesque fjords and frozen lakes. There was never any rush â we were free to stop anywhere that caught our interest. The highlight was a beautiful Arctic beach, where we enjoyed coffee and cake provided by the tour.
Andrei was incredibly knowledgeable about the local culture, especially fishing traditions, and shared many interesting insights along the way. Heâs also an excellent photographer and kindly took high-quality portraits of us, which he later sent over.
Thank you, Andrei and team! I highly recommend this tour

We zijn op pad geweest met Allan, een van de gidsen van Enjoy the Artic.
We waren met 16 personen. Eerst reden we zo'n 40 minuten naar een fjord. We zijn... read more daar 3 uur gebleven en er werd een kampvuur gemaakt. We kregen thee en cake.
Het noorderlicht zagen we maar amper met het blote oog. We reden verder naar boven op een berg. Hier was ook noorderlicht activiteit maar ook hier erg vaag. Met de camera zagen we iets meer. Het was al na middernacht, we zagen nog steeds niks spectaculairs gebeuren. Maar volgens Allan waren de vooruitzichten erg goed. We besloten terug te rijden naar Tromsø het was nog een uur terug rijden. Onderweg zag Allan dat het ging gebeuren. Iedereen klaarmaken om uit te stappen! Wat we toen zagen was onbeschrijfelijk. Boven ons kwam er felgroen noorderlicht met vlagen roze en paars. Met dansende Aurora, het was geweldig. Deze show duurde ongeveer 15 minuten en we hebben genoten van elke minuut! Een stuk verderop zagen we nog een 2e show ook hier kwam het licht van alle kanten. Het voelde als een kadootje, na zoveel uren in de kou. Maar we werden beloond! Allan zette iedereen af bij hun accomodatie, erg fijn want het wad inmiddels half 3 in de nacht.
Enkele dagen later werden de foto's gestuurd die Allan van ons maakte. Alles was top! Zou eigenlijk nog wel graag wat foto's gekregen hebben zonder mensen van alleen het landschap. Misschien kunnen deze nog nagestuurd worden?
Verder hebben wij enorm genoten van deze bijzonder mooie avond. Fijn dat het gelukt is Allan! Thankx!

We booked the Norwegian Fjords Half-Day tour with this company. They cancelled on us the day before the tour (dated 11 January 2025), the tour was re-scheduled for the next... read more day (dated 12 January 2025), the company cancelled on us AGAIN the next day (two minutes before the bus was supposed to pick us up at 10a.m.).
As itâs a five hour fjords tour, this company essentially completely ruined two days of our weekend holiday in Tromso. All the other Fjords tours were already fully booked or left Tromso (by the time we were notified of the cancellation), as such, it was too late for us to book an alternative fjords tour.
I would never book any tour with this company again or recommend anyone to use this company!

Going the Extra Mile: Andrei's Dedication to Finding the Northern Lights
If you are serious about seeing the Northern Lights and want a guide who is as passionate about the experience... read more as you are, look no further than Andrei (Alan) at Enjoy the Arctic tours. I cannot recommend him highly enough!
From the moment we embarked on our tour, it was clear that Andrei's knowledge of the Northern Lights phenomenon and the microclimate around Tromso was unmatched. The weather forecast on the night of our tour was far from promising, and many other tours had already given up. But not Andrei. His dedication and determination to provide us with the best possible chance of witnessing the aurora were truly inspiring.
Andrei drove us all the way from Tromso, Norway, through Finland, and close to the Swedish borderâcovering incredible distances in pursuit of clear skies. We spent over 10 hours chasing the elusive lights, and just when we thought it might not happen, we were rewarded with a breathtaking display of the Northern Lights. It was an unforgettable experience, made even more special by Andrei's commitment and expertise.
Not only did Andrei ensure we saw the aurora, but he also captured stunning photos of us with the lightsâa treasure for life. While we were waiting for the lights to appear, he made the experience even more memorable by lighting up a fire and serving us warm drinks and delicious cake. These thoughtful touches added so much warmth and comfort to the adventure.
Some negative reviews mention the unpredictability of the Northern Lights, and while it is true that patience is required, Andrei does everything in his power to maximize your chances of success. If you understand that nature cannot be controlled and are prepared for a genuine adventure, Andrei is the perfect guide to make it happen.
This tour is not just about seeing the aurora; it's about trusting someone who will go above and beyond to help you achieve your dream. Andrei's passion, perseverance, and in-depth understanding of the region set him apart from others. If you're looking for a tour that prioritizes dedication and expertise, book with Andrei at Enjoy the Arcticâyou won't regret it!

I booked a tour for the Aurora on one night, Andrei called me the same day of the tour, telling me that the weather wasn't that good and offering me... read more a rebooking for that tour, free of charge. I really appreciated it. The day after Andrei picked up us and decided the best spot, weather was cloudy and he made the right decision driving us into the best spot for that night! All of a sudden, while driving, we stopped to enjoy the first lights and took some pics, then we moved into the spot to spend few hours there and he explained us a lot of things about Aurora, stars, solarwind and more.
Really nice experience!
