Everything perfect! - We were lucky and did the last tour this spring. Ylva was our guide and she was great. We had clouds at the first spot unfortunately quickly and she drove with us to another place that was fantastic. And there we saw magnificent aurora borealis.
Personally, we had our own equipment, but we could have borrowed both high-quality cameras and tripods from Ylva. Only the SD card had to be paid for, but you take it home because of the photos on it.
Ylva drove us safely (very calm and relaxed) so I didn't need a travel pill ☺. On the way she told us a lot about the area, so the ride was not boring either.
While photographing the aurora borealis we were always well looked after and asked if everything worked out, etc. We did not need any help, but with the people who had borrowed a camera, Ylva always took care of any questions that might arise.
It was a mega impressive evening and I can recommend this company to all people who are looking for nice places to photograph or who have arrived without their own equipment.

Incredible seeing and flexible warmhearted guide - We had an unforgettable Northern Lights tour with our amazing guide, Ylva! She was incredibly kind, flexible, and knowledgeable. At the first spot, the clouds made it hard to see the lights, but Ylva didn’t give up and took us to a second location, as well on a frozen lake - where we were rewarded with a spectacular light show! We ended up staying two extra hours because it was just so magical. The high-quality photography equipment and Ylva’s expert tips helped us capture stunning photos. She shared so much interesting information about nature, wildlife, and the northern sky. The whole experience was beautifully organized and had a very warm, friendly atmosphere. Thank you, Ylva!

very awsome tour - I’m so thankful we booked this northern lights tour! Ylva made this experience unforgettable. From the start, she was welcoming, kind, and full of enthusiasm. We didn’t see much at the first spot due to cloud cover, but she took us to another, more remote place—where the sky lit up with magical colors! We stayed longer than planned because no one wanted to leave. The gear was great and Ylva helped everyone set up the borrowed cameras to get the perfect shots. She also told us so much about the local wildlife and nature, which made the evening even more special. Thank you, Ylva, for the beautiful memories!

Amazing tour, amazing guide - Amazing spots, amazing guide
Amazing tour! Ylva was super friendly and knew exactly what she was doing. She drove us to two fantastic viewing spots, and at the second one, we saw incredible Northern Lights. We stayed one hour longer than the tour was planned because it was so beautiful. She has great quality camera equipment and tripods, if you don’t have your own one and lots of helpful advice on how to capture the lights. Ylva also shared interesting facts about the local nature and life. And at the end we saw a moose!! Totally worth it! It was a really amazing tour! Thanks Ylva!!

Best Northern Lights Tour ever - This Northern Lights tour exceeded all expectations. Our guide, Ylva, was not only very friendly and helpful but also impressively knowledgeable about the Aurora and local nature. Although the first viewing spot had poor conditions due to clouds, she quickly adapted and brought us to a second location with an incredible display of lights. She extended the tour by two hours so we could fully enjoy the moment. The equipment provided was top-notch, and Ylva offered great guidance on camera settings and techniques. A truly enriching experience with a professional touch. Highly recommended!

Can't recommend enough - We had an absolutely incredible time on this photo tour. Ylva helped us get our settings right before we get in the van. We were lucky enough to only need to drive 15 minutes to get to a place where it was dark enough to see the lights, so we had plenty of time to work on our photography skills, and when my camera had a focus problem Ylva was able to fix it for me. Our guides were both really knowledgeable about how best to use a phone for this as well, which meant that people who didn't want to figure out how to use a camera didn't have to, but were still able to get good pictures. Our guides even offered to take pictures of all the groups on our tour in front of the northern lights, which none of us would have known how to do. We really enjoyed the fire, warm lingonberry juice, and storytelling to warm up in the middle, but the joik that Ylva sang for us was a real highlight of the evening, it felt really special. We were lucky enough that the northern lights became suddenly really intense shortly after we got back to the van to leave; we were unlucky enough that we'd put all the tripods back into the van, but our guides were willing to get them back out when asked so we got some of the best shots of the evening at the very end of it. We booked through the Icehotel, but I wouldn't hesitate to book direct- I would absolutely recommend this company and our guides, this was everything I wanted.

A great experience - Perfect experience. The guide was patient and explained everything. She even gave us tips for the rest of our stay. She adapted to our family (teen with phone) and she left no one behind.

Beautiful photos despite unfavorable weather. - Thanks to our professional photographer guide (whose name I forgot)
I arrived with my camera, but, the other explorers of the group had one on loan.
A quick approach to the art of taking pictures of aurora and here we are.
No luck, particularly blocked skies. And above all exceptional!
We are in a year the highest solar viewpoint!
We are in the country where we see the most beautiful dawns!
And that evening, a Kp .....2!!! Aurora can shine and a full moon!
But we made some nice shots.
A big thank you to the Guide who made me discover a setting on my APN!!!
AND if he reads this, I'd like him to contact me.
But it remains an experience!!!!

It was worth it - Well-organized trip, with a friendly escort and lavish with useful advice.
We were lucky because after a first hour when we were despairing of seeing the aurora, the aurora appeared in all its glory and the place where we were taken was actually very good for observation.

Basic photography guiding - This tour is ran by a small family company, we had Erica and Ylva, who are locals and have knowledge about the lapaland culture.
It is important to set expectations. The guides will give you equipment, a very good and sturdy tripod and a basic knowledge on camera/phone setitngs for northen lights pictures. The pictures will be made by yourself - which is not an easy task. The guides are not professional photographers themselves.
In my opnion if you have just one/few days and no car to find clear skies this tour might be good for you. If you can drive away, get camera setting right from internet, and practice yourself or want photos taken by a professional this is not whta you are looking for.
