Warm clothes/blankets/gloves etc available and were a godsend! The ride was 3 hours long, just long enough to switch off and do nothing but look at and appreciate the light and the setting. It was fairly windy when we went out which meant that the engine could be switched off and the sails put out, so there was minimal background noise. Highly recommended trip. read less

The northern lights appeared as we left harbour and continued to amaze throughout. When we anchored in the middle of a fjord with the engine silenced, we sat in the quiet, taking in the lights, shooting stars and beauty of the landscape - it was wonderful. The crew, Anton & Hubert were very welcoming and considered in the way they looked after us. The hot chocolate and blankets were very timely. Would highly recommend. read less

Planning was excellent, with quick replies to emails and helpful suggestions where to go with our spare time - not trying to sell us another trip. In Lofoten, there's lots of driving, and we followed their suggestion to cut down on the amount we had to do on one day by swapping two trips round, so first we had a sailing trip to a fjord, with great scenery and a wonderful lunch included. Then an evening hike up and over a hill to a secluded beach to watch the sun set - rated easy but a fair challenge. The next morning we then had a tour of the best photo spots on the island, but sadly the weather was awful by this point. We saw Haukland beach but the rest of the sights were covered in cloud, however we went back to most of these on our spare day for better pictures, so it all worked out. The guides ranged from super chilled to super enthusiastic to cheerfully talkative but all were professional, helpful and friendly. All trips included food, the lunch on the boat was the best - fish soup cheese and bread, the others were just salad and cream cheese sandwiches, but still welcome.

All the trips were fun and We did cram a lot into our three days - the night hike got back past midnight and we were up at 8 for the photo tour.

Overall, all excellent tours, excellent communication, a good price and perfect staff. More read less

We sailed out and had a fantastic show up in the sky. They provide you with warm furs and coats and serve a fresh fish soup after a while. Definitely recommendable. Only disadvantage was that all other tours we booked send us free pictures from the adventure. read less

The boat went fast, of course it was cold, very cold, but with the warm gear they gave us (to wear on top of our own layers), it was perfect! When we got back from the trip, we were provided with warm drinks and snacks and sat around the cosy fire chatting before we all headed off to do different things. I’d definitively recommend Pukka for their RIB tour of the fjord around Tromsø. All the staff were friendly, accommodating and professional at the same time. Before going, I worried slightly about getting sea sick (past experiences), but the boat goes super fast, you look forwards and absorb the beauty and not even an ‘s’ of the seasickness popped up! I’d do it again! In winter! Thanks Pukka read less

We had also the privilege of sharing this experience with a couple celebrating a 30th anniversary, a young couple from Brazil getting engaged that night and a super nice guy from Dubai which together with our guide and driver made this an unforgetable moment for life! Thanks all for making my life better!

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

The tour was led by Debbie. Words fail me when I try to express my feelings about the tour and the tour leader.
The lights were overwhelming and Debbie found them just outside Tromsø!
We had four hours of excitement. I should also mention that the soups which were served during the trip were very tasty.
Do yourself a favour and do go on this tour. 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
