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

We booked the "Classic Tromsø Winter Package" including the following activities:

1 Northern Lights workshop before/during tour
1 Northern Lights Sailing
1 Northern Lights Minibus Chase
1 Arctic Sail Safari
1 Snowshoe Hike

Sailing through the arctic ocean (if you're lucky having the northern lights above you're head) chasing the northern lights with a bus or hiking up a mountain in the middle of nowhere is literally one of the most amazing experiences we have ever had.
If you want to feel the absolut bliss about spending quality time in an incredible nature, you're looking at the exact right company here. The standard here is of best quality, the equipment you receive ranges from gloves to boots to arctic snowsuits etc.
But what made the experience so special was not the activities themselves but especially the people behind this company. They have warmly welcomed us and made us feel like we're part of them. They're all super friendly, open and very very accommodating. These people make you're journey unforgettable. We will definitely come back!

Thanks to Tome, Max, David, John and Charles who have made this unforgettable 🙂

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

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

They did their best to find the best spot to see the northern lights since it was a cloudy day and finally we saw them. The car is comfortable and super cool. We absolutely recommend it.

Our guide was very knowledgable about the science behind the lights and the history of the area. He was upfront about what we should expect due to the conditions and let us know how likely a lights spotting really was! We suited up for the Arctic conditions (great winter gear was provided!) and headed out. They took us about an hour north and we set up a sight near the water and between 2 mountain ranges. There was slight activity, but not enough to see with the naked eye. We enjoyed hot chocolate and soup around the fire and then roasted marshmallows. Luckily, the sky cooperated and we saw the most MAGNIFICIENT light show! It was the most incredible thing I've ever seen. I cannot recommend this tour enough. I felt like it was money well spent, even before we saw the Northern Lights! 10/10! read less

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 weather forecast was bad but we decided to go anyway and did not regret it. The morning haze has cleared by the time we got to the fishing spot and we had a great time. The crew was wonderful, very professional and hospitable. They cooked us lunch from the cod that we caught, and it was delicious, the soup was better than in the restaurants in the town! Highly recommending this activity, everything was perfect. read less

From the start to finish the crew were so nice and professional. The boat was very new and lovely.
I knew there would be a chance we may or may not see whales. But we did! It was such an magical experience to see them in their element. They were so majestic to watch tail flapping, breaching, feeding and playing together. To see whales in the snow and in the wild?!?
I mean you can’t get any better than this! 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

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

We were led on the trip by the excellent and knowledgeable Kamilla, and driver Lucas. What a fun day's outing around the fjords! We saw White Tailed Eagle, a moose (never seen one before!) and plenty of reindeer, as well as beaches on the west coast with snow down to the shoreline. Really good fun day out and would highly recommend Pukka Travel (thanks also to Josh and Ciaran for their help). read less

We were on a cruise and our itinerary was changed due to bad weather which meant we had to reschedule our dog sledding trip. However Pukka and Artic adventures were brilliant and we were able to do it when we did arrive in Tromso a few days later than planned.
This was a well organised event and so much fun it was actually the highlight of our holiday which was plagued by stormy weather. The people, the dogs the welcoming fire, cake and coffee after an hour long superb self driven sled ride was awesome.
We loved it. Thankyou Pukka and Artic Adventures. read less
