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

Arriving at Pukka's office, they had arctic overalls and boots for those who need better gear to keep warm.

We loaded up the minibus and headed to the coast where there was no clouds and the best chance of seeing the lights even though the chances were low.

We headed out as a group of some individuals and some people who were from the Queen Elizabeth Cruise Ship but by the time we got back we got on well as a group.

When we arrived at their location we were on a beach at the coast, and the first task was to light a fire. That was followed by hot drinks and then later a reindeer stew apparently traditionally served at weddings which went down a treat. Reindeer was similar to somewhere between lamb and beef and was tender and wonderful.

After a long time there was nothing to suggest that the lights would be out.

There were discussions about moving to another location and when we decided to move I pulled down my camera from the tripod and then she appeared.

There wasnt a lot of activity but she was certainly there.

Our host had set up a camera and was taking photos of each group in front of the lights and sent us a link later to access them. They were impressive photos as she required you to stand still for about 6 seconds and at about three seconds lit you up briefly with a torch and the end result was fantastic.

Once she died out we then went back into the minivan to see if we could see them on the drive back.

We frequently stopped to check if they were out as only cameras would pick them up, without success.

It had been arranged that we would be back in Tromso by 12.45am so that we could drop off the people back to the ship by their 1.00am curfew but we had seen the lights and indications were that that would have been it for the night.

It would be advisable to take a small torch with you as we were walking over frosty grass and rocks. Also suitable footwear was advisable as it was cold and slippery.

If you could carry a small folding stool etc would have also been good as they had yoga mats to sit on, for those who were older, it was more difficult.

A great company and a great experience.

They cant guarantee that the lights will show, but they certainly did everything they could to see them and photograph you with them if they came out.

Put Pukka high on your list. read less

We got out the bus and saw the milkyway first and after some minutes the northern lights show. The aktivity wasnt very strong but it was incredible to see anyway.
The chatting at the campfire was very nice and the soup and wraps were delicious. We had a small group of 7 people. Our Guide Camilla was very nice and provided us with lots of information about the lights and norway itself. I would recommend this experience. Even if the wheather conditions are bad, they will make it possible. read less

Steve, in particular, was exceptional. He was extremely knowledgeable and entertaining.
And rather than just describing the sights we were seeing, he gave us a host of fascinating information around Norwegian society, history and culture. It was perfectly judged.

Thanks again to Pukka Travels, Hubert, and most of all Steve. 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

Hamnøy was one of the destinations we really wanted to visit, and Pukka Travels had one of the only tours I could find that visited there, along with other destinations.

Our guide and driver, Steve, picked us up right where we were docked in Leknes and the tour was great from start to finish. Steve had insightful and interesting commentary about the landscape and area and knew all the perfect photo-stops. On the way back, he also let us pick spots we wanted to see again or ones we hadn’t visited yet along the road.

This was one of the best tours we’ve had so far and we loved how many places we were able to see in one day. Thanks, Steve and 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

Booking on line was so easy and communication from pukka travel was exceptional. Check in was seamless with a welcomed hot coffee too! Equipment all provided which was definitely needed as it was absolutely freezing. Jamie, our skipper, was so friendly and very informative during the tour. The scenery was beautiful as was the wildlife with us seeing eagles and reindeer. The hot chocolate and cookies at the end helped to thaw us out too! We would highly recommend this company and will definitely be using them again. Thank you to a great team. read less
