Great experience - Well organized excursion. Launched to 8. At the end there were campfires and a sausage for barbecue. Our guide was very accommodating. We were also lucky enough to see the Northern Lights

Great experience - Vince was a wonderful and knowledgeable guide. After setting us up with some great photos, he played with the kids with the sleds so that we could take even more photos. It was the perfect length for my 5 and 8 year old and highly recommend to others.

Super - At Wild about Lapland we have booked 4 excursions: family friendly Northern Lights, reindeer ride in the evening, huskies 10 km and snowshoes / ice fishing. Everything was perfectly arranged. We were picked up neatly on time, friendly guides and we had very nice excursions! Also lucky enough to see the Northern Lights. We had booked everything six months in advance. In the meantime, I have been in touch a few times via email because I had some questions. I always got a very quick and neat answer. We recommend Wild about Lapland!

Northern lights family adventure - We had an amazing time on this family tour! Ou host was super friendly and made the experience enjoyable. The transport was very comfortable, and we even got to catch a glimpse of the aurora, though it wasn’t very strong. Overall, it was a memorable and well-organized tour, my 6 year old had an enjoyable experience. Highly recommend!”

Great company - This company is great. I also went with another company that was really bad. Our first guide Tim was dedicated, hard-working, and showed us how to make designs with the red light in a photo. My my second guide Aly was energetic, personable, which they all were also, but she was extra fun, and took excellent photos of our wonderful viewing of the Aurora activity that night. My other guides Gerard and Adrian also were super fantastic. The company is helpful during the day and by email and staffed by friendly and kind people.

Excellent - Christoph was a great guide. We went as a family along with him and he was extremely patient, friendly and helpful. The pick-up and drop were on point, the company was prompt with the bookings and the response.

Experience in a typical tent - Due to the overcast sky we could not see the dawn but our guide explained many interesting things and we lit the fire in a typical tent

Disappointing - We looked forward to this trip for a while year and were left bitterly disappointed, each of us for different reasons. My husband was enthusiastic and asking lots of questions and was told to stop asking questions until the others in the tour were picked up. Then the driving of the guide was so bad and dangerous, always swerving onto the other side of the road and if talking to the person next to him (a trainee) he would be looking at him and not the road. When we arrived at the destination we realised we would not see anything as it was a completely full moon. These kind of tours should not take place when there is a full moon! Of course the moon cancels out the darkness required to see anything..and yet the guide insisted there were lights and insisted we have photos taken with them. The sky was absolutely grey and cloudy. He became irritated when we didn't want photos taken. Of course in the photos you can see green due to the special filters. Wow. The guide hardly told us anything interesting if at all in lieu of not seeing anything green. At least he could have done that. Bah.
