What Clients Says
Ricardo BA Senja Experience é, sem dúvida a melhor opção para conhecer esta parte da Noruega. O André e o Rikki fazem de tudo que estiver ao alcance deles para proporcionar os melhores momentos das nossas vidas. Mas não o impossível, é claro. A aurora não deu o ar da graça durante os 5 dias em que ficamos por lá. Mas isso não significa que a experiência não valeu. Valeu, SIM. O diferencial está na equipe da Senja Experience. Fizemos passeios que estão entre os mais lindos de todas nossas viagens. O apoio, carinho e cuidado do André ficarão para sempre na nossa memória.Tripadvisor James SI was with a group of 4 who were wanting to do an excursion around Senja to see and photograph all of the amazing beauty on the island. The tour we were hoping to take fell through and we found Senja Experience instead. I submitted the booking request and within minutes, André contacted me to set things up. Within 45 minutes, he was picking us up. He was so kind and informative. For over 4 hours, he took us to so many amazing spots. It was a photographer’s dream. Turns out, André is an incredible photographer himself and his passion for showing people the beauty of Senja is so evident. We walked on a frozen lake, got stunning pictures of snow covered mountains in the background of black sand beaches, and we’re just in awe of the beauty of such a unique place in the world. I could not recommend this excursion more if you want to capture the best photos Of your life, or just see the wonder of Senja. André is a wonderful guide and wonderful person who was so gracious to us, stopping every time someone wanted to jump out and grab a picture. When we make it back to Senja, we will 100% book him again.Tripadvisor Ahmad Aكان المنظر شي خيالي وجميل وكان الشفق القطبي في قمه الجمال وأتمنى ان أكرر هذه الرحلة وكانت الثلوج ودرجه الحرارة ٢٠تحت الصفر ولكن كانت الملابس دافئ شكرا كنت مستمتع 👍👌Tripadvisor JorgeaneIf you are wondering if should or shouldn’t do an Aurora hunt, I tell you DO IT! Andre and Rikki know the island very well and they will find the Northern Lights wherever they are in Senja. And, of course, both are photographers, so you will get the perfect shot to share later. There are no words that can describe the emotions when seeing she dancing over your head! A moment that I will remember forever. Thanks, Andre and Rikki for your kindness and effort to make this dream come true.Tripadvisor ThomasWe were at senja for a week. And had the pleasure to spent an evening with Rikki and André from senja experience. Since the weather for the whole week was pretty cloudy we thought it is impossible to see the Aurora. But these two drove us to two wonderful places where the sky started to clear and the Aurora appeared. They are very nice and explained a lot to us. And we had a lot of fun chatting with them. I would definitely recommend this tour for everyone who is visiting senja.Tripadvisor Reviews

Yes, but according to our Terms and Conditions, cancellation less than 7 days prior to departure will be charged 100%. Cancellation from 7 days to 21 days prior to departure will be charged 60%. Cancellation 21 days or longer prior to departure will be charged 15% because we spend many hours every day, because of last minute cancellations, trying to find replacement, mainly because people book many days to be sure to see lights, and if they see lights the first day, they often want to cancel the rest of the days. This work cost us a lot of time and money. “No Shows” will be charged 100% (no show also includes showing up after meeting time).
We wish we could, but we cannot control weather conditions or solar activity. Therefore we can not guarantee that you will see the Northern Lights. We are passionate and experienced Northern Lights hunters. We use a combination of our knowledge and determination to find clear skies and show you the Northern Lights whenever possible. However, the last word belongs to nature. There are no refunds or free trips in the case that we do not see the Northern Lights, but we will make sure that you have an amazing experience even though.
The same applies to the wildlife tours. Watching wildlife in Senja is wonderful, but there is no guarantee that animals will be seen. What we guarantee is that during the tour we will do everything possible to see them.
Although we have experienced guides who know the region and the habits of many of the animals found on the island of Senja, it is sometimes not possible to see these animals. When this happens, the client can be sure that he will pass through beautiful landscapes of the island of Senja during this tour.
