Fantastic 5.0
Participating in this Northern Lights tour was truly a once-in-a-lifetime and unforgettable experience for me. Although it was a rainy night and I was initially worried the tour might be cancelled, the guide was exceptionally kind, positive, and proactive—driving us all the way toward the border to find clear skies. Thanks to her dedication, we were finally rewarded with a breathtaking view of the Northern Lights! Also, the tour experience was made even more special by the cozy BBQ fire and delicious food provided afterwards. It was a wonderful touch that warmed us right up. I had an amazing time and would wholeheartedly recommend this tour to anyone. I would love to join them again!

A very professional and committed team. Thanks for making my wish come true to take my Berlin marathon 2026 shot backdropped with an aurora. I will always remember “where you can see stars, you can see them 😊”

It was fantastic! The tour guide was very thorough with explanations and helped take photos. The fish soup was delicious, and the restaurant had a beautiful view. We saw jellyfish on the beach, enjoyed the scenery from the car, and the walking paths weren't difficult mountain trails, making it a wonderfully relaxing trip.

I actually booked the tour because of the aurora offer in the description. Unfortunately, until the end of the tour, the metric for aurora sighting was poor and we ended up not going for the sighting at all. Despite that unlucky part, this tour gives amazing experience for travelers who plan to visit Tasmania for the first time. We don’t speak Chinese at all, but tour guides always give English explanation in addition to pre-recorded English audio guide of each destination. If you are hunting for aurora sighting, make sure you’ve checked the possibility of seeing the aurora Australis before booking. Otherwise, just enjoy the beauty of Tasmania as covered by this tour.

Great 4.0
overall the itinerary and guide Elsa was not bad. nice lovely scenery. the bus was a little too cramped though. we were packed like sardines. Lunch was a cold sandwich bread roll with ham/cheese or shrimp or curry chicken … nothing fancy. They ran out of hot water, so didn’t really get a hot drink or soup.

The hotel is right in the downtown area, within walking distance of many attractions and day tour meeting points. There are restaurants and convenience stores nearby, and a paid parking lot is also very close by. Highly recommended 👍 (Just a reminder: the hotel prohibits seafood, and hot water must be collected from the lobby as there is no kettle in the room, but these are not major issues at all).

What to know before visiting Tromso

Quick Tromsø snapshot and what to expect

Tromsø is a compact Arctic city known for tours, outdoor & sports activities, and cruises, with demand showing a clear seasonal rhythm. Klook booking data peaks in March and falls to a low in May, so the city alternates between busy high-season bursts and quieter stretches. Most bookings are for guided experiences, nature-based activities and boat excursions that follow that annual demand pattern.

Best months to visit — crowds versus prices

According to Klook booking data, the busiest month is March while May sees the weakest demand. Prices move separately from demand at times: booking data shows February typically has the lowest prices on Klook, while May appears as the priciest month in the price records—so demand and prices diverge around spring. If you want lower prices and smaller crowds, consider visiting in February or other quieter months; for the peak-season atmosphere and highest activity levels, plan for March.

Tips for travellers from the United States

Most travellers lock experiences in about a week ahead, with early planners booking around a month out and last-minute options often available a day before. For a flexible, short trip you can still find many tours and activities on short notice, but during March’s peak it helps to plan earlier to secure popular experiences on Klook.
