Easy one and very relaxing. Especially when the catamaran stops and you hear nothing except sea gulls. Watching sunset is so relaxing then. Instructor was very pleasant and funny, warm tea, coffee, hot chocolate, quilts at disposal. Definitely recommend this trip. More read less

Our guide and our bus driver where amazing. We stopped twice on the way to our final stop where we already had the chance to see the northern lights. The final stop was amazing. We had a bonfire there with some soup and Marshmallows. The guide and the bus driver helped us with our camera to get the best pictures possible and they where really great. All in all the tour took us 6 hours. I really recommend making a northern light tour with Pukka Travels! read less

You know they are there but you cross your fingers that you don’t blink when they appear. We were so pleased to join David and his partner (sorry we can’t remember his name) from Pukka travels for an unforgettable, magical evening. We started the evening stopping for a glorious sunset over a fjord west of Tromsø on the way to experiencing the northern lights. David properly set expectations that we might not see them or that we might only see them for a few seconds. And that we needed to be patient once we found a place and settled in with a campfire. After quite awhile of sitting patiently while the sky darkened, he said “they are here” as he showed us a photo he took showing a light green glow in the sky which we could not yet see with our naked eyes. Be prepared when you go that your naked eye will not see the bright colors you see in photographs. What we saw were ghostly white magical images projected across the star studded night sky. We were in the middle of nowhere, in a protected bowl surrounded by Norwegian peaks, facing a fjord. Several times, the sky was filled with the ghostly images of the northern lights which danced across the sky and then quickly...

Our small group squealed with delight every time we saw them.

David’s passion and attentiveness to making our evening perfect made the evening truly magical. Highly recommended and hope you’re as lucky as we were to experience the northern lights! More read less

We were so lucky with the weather and also had the unexpected bonus of seeing three orcas off the coast from the Hamnoy bridge spotted by Dawid. There is a bit of driving involved to get to Reine but they gave us plenty of information and some lovely stops along the way, and we never felt rushed. Dawid took photos that he sent through so if you wanted, you could just relax and enjoy the views. It was a memorable tour - the best day of our Norway trip. Highly recommended! More read less

We could ask him anything about the boat, the arctic and basicly anything we wanted to know about life in Norway. He also made really tasty food (told us the recipe, so we’re definitely gonna try that at home!). I’m also very happy about the fact, that there is no problem if you are a vegetarian. The soup was fully vegetarian and taste Amazing! There are some snacks and coffee/tea avalible during the sail. It was great, that the boat has a heated salon, because it gets really cold outside (but the warm suit did really help). Also it has a bathroom, if you need. So if you are thinking about a trip like that, I would totally reccomend Pukka Travels Next time I’m in Norway, I’m gonna definitely book a tour with them again!
Once again, Thank you for such an amazing experience! More read less

You can enjoy amazing landscapes of the fiords near Tromsø in a small group. The trip is really personalised. Because of the small group experience you can ask as manny questions as you want! The guide was very nice, helpful and professional. The tour was a perfect adventure and I definitely will plan my next stay in Tromsø with Pukka Travels More read less

Nicholas and Jenna provided the best of service to make us feel very comfortable, well fed, and entreated us to the land and culture of Norway. This was much more than a boat ride, it was an experience. We did some fishing, and caught fish mind you, and of course the scenery was unbelievable! I will certainly remember this experience for the rest of my life. I would give a rating of 10 stars if I could! Big thanks to Nick and Jenna!! read less

So the bus tour was a bonus already. We had a new guide, Debbie, who knew the area well and on a very cloudy night at 6pm took us to the coast for some hoped for cloud gaps. Magically, after settling in at the beautiful beach by 8:00pm, we faced the iconic rock in the water on the horizon at Sommarøi, about an hour from Tromsø. While waiting, several other tour groups arrived, so in high season be prepared for aurora' traffic' now that Tromsø has become a big tourist destination! As we waited, the horizon whitened, but only the camera captured the green. Magically from exactly 10-11pm, a gap in the clouds passed right over us, allowing for photos of the green light across the big dipper, reflected on the sea--what a beautiful night! The trademark soup was served at a fire, and we all had thermal suits and nylon chair to stay warm and comfortable. In all, I spent 3 days on various Pukka tours and in each case, the guides were exceptionally friendly, knowledgeable, skilled, and all loved the Arctic. The food was always home-cooked, excellent and tasty. The prices are reasonable and the staff responsive. If you are used to a bit of comfort at hotels, ask about paying extra to book at something other than the budget hotel they use to keep prices affordable, which is the size of a double bed, plus 12 inches, plus a private bathroom. I suggest Pukka add this as an option. I will travel with Pukka again. read less

But it did not start like that. My trip/booking was canceled due to the bad weather forecast and I could not join even the one they offered me the day before... it was full... and even if the weather would be good tomorrow, there was not enough people...
But I went to Norway ONLY for that trip! I was sad, very. So when Pukka team heard about that next morning... they just called and said something like "hey, the weather seems to be good and you are booked for the trip!"
No questions asked I went to the meeting point to discover there was nobody. Except me and the captain!
And perfect weather.
And the best sunset in weeks.

This team deserves the best feedback and they are getting that!

Thank you! More read less
