Adventures

The best thing about being an Arctic nature guide is that you get to be a co-discoverer with the participants while ensuring they have a safe and high-quality experience. My role is to create the right conditions for them to explore, learn, and appreciate nature in a responsible and secure way. When I see the sparkle in their eyes, I know I’ve succeeded. And, of course, I love being out in nature myself.

I chose to get certified because the certification is a strong mark of quality and professionalism. It confirms that my skills meet industry standards and that I can guide in a way that is both enriching and safe for my guests. It also reassures my clients that they are in good hands. Additionally, the certification process helped me refine my skills and deepen my knowledge, enhancing the quality of my guiding.

If you're seeking the Northern Lights, Raider is your guy! Every dollar spent was worthwhile; there wasn't a single moment during the chase that we didn't thoroughly enjoy. I can't express enough gratitude to Raider for making our day so exceptionally special and delightful with the bonfire, hot chocolate, and the insightful lessons about Norway's history, culture, and varying weather conditions. He's an outstanding guide and an incredible individual! I'm already planning to return next year. Thank you so much!

Great local guide! Knowledgeable and shared lots of wonderful information about how to anticipate northern lights as well as other aspects of Norwegian culture. We went to more secluded off the beaten path location and got a spectacular light show as well as a great bonfire by the water. It was like camping with a good friend I didn’t know I had.

Fantastic! Due to safety concerns we traveled a bit further away. Drive was very scenic. Saw more reindeer than people even.The hike was challenging enough, great exercise. Great conversation, great views, and just a wonderful experience overall. Well worth the extremely affordable price. I would highly recommend.

Thank you!

Reidar was an amazing host! He was above beyond on my request. I am so happy I was able to propose to my fiancé with his help, it was such a special moment in our life’s. If you ever want the perfect guide who will give you some history on the area as well as give you an amazing outdoor experience this is the guy for you. Thank you Reidar for the great time and experience.

It was fantastic! Reidar made sure we would be able to see the northern lights, so he picked us up earlier than planned and drove us farther than planned! he was very kind and friendly, we spent the night talking around the bonfire with some hot soup and a cup of tea, it was truly perfect! even if the northern lights that night weren't very bright, I still had a wonderful evening! if I come back again to Tromso I'll make sure to book a night with Reidar, that's for sure!

Northern Lights

On an average week in the north you will see the lights on more than one occasion. We hunt clear skies, that means that on some days we have to move around for the best chance. Don't worry, we´ll check the forecast for you, and local knowledge is priceless.

Photography

We have a few years of experience with northern lights and nature photography, and we always bring a camera when we are out. We know the good spots and we´ll throw in some helpful tips & tricks along the way.

Arctic Hiking

There are plenty of hiking opportunities in the north - most of them only a "stone's throw" away from a city. We will adapt the terrain and pace to the group and bring snowshoes if necessary. We can promise you a good walk and a nice view.
