AMAZING!!! - This excursion was absolutely AMAZING! We had such a great time and our guide was so kind and knowledgeable. He was flexible and catered to our needs. He was also communicative and we were able to text and call him as needed. This is the best excursion we did over our entire 8 day trip and would 100% do it again. Definitely recommend!!!

Great northern lights... - Great northern lights tour! Meeting time and place were communicated via WhatsApp so there was no confusion. Our guide was great picked us up and dropped us off steps from our room. The weather was cloudy but he made sure we would see the lights. We drove to Sweden which was a fun surprise and had an amazing show! He took pictures of us throughout the night. The tour was small only 2 others so it felt very personal and we were able to choose different decisions throughout the night. Tea and cookies were a nice touch. It was clear the guide was an expert and taught us all about the parameters needed to see the lights. 5 stars!

Amazing Northern Lights Experience in Lapland - The guides were professional and great support. We had a few suggestions to delay our departure time and started our hunt for the Northern Lights at the best time of the day. A strong auroras occurred and we stood there excited and forgetting the cold. It was very cold, but it was a wonderful experience. It was a lifetime memory. Thank you.

Great tour with spectacular lights! - We had a great trip in Feb 2025. Our guide was tracking the activity and felt that we had a good chance to see the lights based on the conditions and forecast for the night. They messaged to ask if we could delay our start from 7pm to closer to 8pm since they felt the light activity would be stronger later in the evening. At first, the magnetic field (?) was too weak, but it strengthened, and he said that all of the data looked good to see the lights - so we waited. He took us out to a frozen lake with a great open view of the sky. We had to wait until almost midnight before the activity showed up, but when it did - WOW! In a matter of minutes, it went from nothing to rainbows of dancing lights across the sky. He took some amazing photos, as many as we wanted, and they were sent via email transfer the next day. It was a small tour, just my family of 3 and another couple, and we were picked up around 8pm and returned close to 2am. As promised, none of the faffing with barbeques, etc.; just some nice warm tea and chocolates which was much appreciated. Great tour; well worth it!

Aurora - Tour with a Feel - Good Factor - A Guide with Passion! - This tour was not only successful but also a truly wonderful experience - and that was mainly thanks to our guide, Vess. From the very beginning, he created a pleasant atmosphere with his friendly, humerous, and dedicated manner. It was clear that he genuinely cared about providing his guests with an unforgettable experience. On February 2, 2025, my 10 - year - old son and I were picked up on time from our hotel by Vess in a cozy van. After a short briefing ( weather conditions, tour plan), we headed to the first of three planned spots. And indeed, the aurora appeared - at first subtle, but enough for us to take a few shots with the professional camera. After that, we warmed up in the van, where Vess treated us to hot tea and delicious cookies while sharing fascinating facts about the northern lights. However, the absolute highlight of the tour was when we arrived at our second spot! We were overwhelmed with excitement as we wittnessed this magical aurora spectacle. The northern lights danced right above us, glowing in vibrant green and shimmering purple tones…A phenomenal natural display that we will never forget! Thanks to Vess, we have beautyful photos to remember this incredible aurora show. He positioned us perfectly in the scene and managed to capture us in the magical setting. The very next day, we received access to his high - quality images via a WeTransfer link. This tour was well - organized, cozy, and, most importantly, successful - definetly highly recommended!

I was very impressed with... - I was very impressed with our guide's experience and dedication to find the Northern Lights. He was very knowledgable about the auroras, and though the car ride to find the lights was very long (we drove to Sweden!), it was very comfortable and totally worth it!
Me and my friend also had a little nap in the car because we didn't come back until 4:00am haha. Though the trip may get pushed back due to how the aurora activity is, it was not a bother because we still saw the Northern Lights, which was amazing as the forecast did not look good.
I think going in, it is good to consider what the auroras look like to the naked eye, so that one's expectations are realistic. Of course, they look great on camera and our guide had a tripod and sent us the photos later!
Overall, I would recommend this experience : )

Good tour - does exactly what it says it on the tin! - Having done a few Northern Lights Tours in other countries, we sort of knew what to expect.
Our guide messaged us a few hours before our pick up time to say the light activity was low and we would be collected an hour later which we were happy with. We were also informed that we may have to drive to Sweden to see them so to bring our passports.
We were collected on time and our group only had two more people in. The small tours really are worth the extra money! After driving for an hour or so we stopped at the first spot and had no luck so we tried a few more spots before driving to Sweden. We were told by the guide that the forecast was now lower than expected and we may struggled to see them. We stopped at the side of the road in Sweden for some fresh air and after about 10 minutes we notices the lights coming through. The guide quickly set us his camera and we were able to get some decent pictures. Obviously this is all down to chance, noone is guaranteed to see them and anyone who thinks they are needs to recobsider going on these sorts of trips.
Once we got our photos we headed back to the city which took around 2.5 hours.
Overall, we would recommend this company. Their communication was good, they were punctual and they did try their best. The only downside was we didn't feel like it was as friendly atmosphere as we have felt in other countries. A little bit more information whilst we were driving would have been nice to kill some time.

Holidays - The guide was super friendly and took many pictures of us. We waited bus we could see what. Unfortunately Aurora's activity was very weak that day so we only saw it very slightly green in photos.

NOT guaranteed - Bad Idea - we wanted to have a guaranteed experience and photo of the northern lights...so we booked this rare experience. we started with 7pm and ended past 12midnight...two families. The other family had small children while we were just 3 with and adult child.
we didn't see the northern lights.
we just wasted $319USD.
no further explanation needed.
