Small group tour is a must

Michael was determined to find us the best spot for viewing the Northern Lights. Because we were in a van (vs a large bus), he could take us on smaller roads with less traffic and light pollution. We were lucky and saw the full display of lights. There were winds of 50 mph so dress warmly and bring a tripod because you need to keep your camera still to take the best pictures.

Amazing, magical, and beautiful!

Be prepared for any kind of weather. We were lucky because we say the Northern lights right away and at all stops. Our tour guide JP was amazing with facts and helped everyone with taking the best pictures of the experience.

Northern lights with Daniel

Well worth it! The knowledge and experience that our guide Daniel had paid off. We got to enjoy a sighting of lights and chocolate.

Not worth it

I booked this tour because of the positive reviews saying how the guides ensure you get the best possible view and if you don’t see lights you can rebook. I wasn’t happy with the little to no light we saw that night. My guide claimed it as valid and that I couldn’t rebook again.We also stayed that night waiting for less than a hour and in one spot. My guide made no effort to move to “chase the northern light”.

We are so glad to see the...

We are so glad to see the northern light in one of the clear sky of the week in late August. It was pretty faint but at least we get to catch the moment in person. Downside is driver didn’t even offer us a cup of hot chocolate when people were freezing returned to the van….
