“Excellent trip with our guide called Peter. He carefully drove us to the destination and explained to us about the northern lights.

It was beyond anything I have ever seen in my entire life and something I will be able to fondly remember for the rest…”

“The Aurora chasing tour was really great. We were lucky as the weather was good and after driving about 40 minutes outside the city we were able to see the aurora it was amazing. Our guide, Aram, was very nice and explained how the aurora is created. We then went to another location to try to see the aurora again, but unfortunately it wasn’t visible there. Aram made a fire, and we enjoyed marshmallows, hot drinks, and cake. The place was very nice, close to a Sámi house, and we were lucky that a reindeer came close to us we were even able to feed it. We really enjoyed the…”

We honestly thought we had no chance of seeing them as it was cloudy & snowy, but Doninik drove us to Finland and parked up by a lake. It was a long night, but we were treated to a great show! Defo worth the wait! Enjoyed cooking Reindeer sausage on the open fire & the hot drinks and biscuits.”

“Wow! Wow! Wow! I generally use a lot of positive expressions and words, but there are simply not enough to describe how amazing this experience was. Truly emotional - in a good way.

The Aurora started slowly coming in from the distance and then danced directly above our…”
