“It was our wedding anniversary night and we can’t thank enough to the tour organizers for this unforgettable experience. We got picked up by our guide, Julia, on time and from our hotel. We were traveling to our destination place but in between Julia fell really sick and she had to be later transported in an ambulance. (Hope she is doing better now). After about 1 hour halt, we were joined by another guide, Daria, and we continued our tour. We stopped at Sodankyla near a frozen lake where a giant, dancing Araura was waiting for us. Daria took several pictures of us and we stayed there for about an…”

“There was 100% cloud in Roviemi when we started, but we drove about 2 hours north west and the Aurora was beautiful. The guides found the best spot with no cloud coverage and a gorgeous 360 degree view. They then took professional pictures of everone with the Aurora in the background, set up a campfire, and handed out warm beverages and light snacks while we enjoyed the atomphere. All in all, we left their office at 1930, arrived at the viewing area around 2200, watched and enjoyed the scenery until 0000 and was dropped off near our hotels around 0200. Amazing experience! I doubted the likelihood of us seeing the…”

“Well in short it was an amazing experience with or without the Northern lights. We got packed in warm clothes from the company so that we survive the cold. Then we went to the location by the river with a full moon but covered with cloud above us. there were bonfires so we had hot berry juice, cookies and bbq marshmallows. The day had a very strong activity for the light show but then the sky was covered with snow. The company waited for the sky to clear more than the assigned time of the trip. More than half of the group left after few hours because of the cold.…”

“Something like this, where it’s luck dependant, will obviously heavily affect how you rate this your. Luckily for my booking (which I booked 2hrs before start time) we saw northern lights at all of our stops. They were absolutely beautiful, the tour was well organised - we have a lovely hot juice (maybe lingonberry?) and the frozen lake was 100% the best part. It was -20C so I cannot stress how important it is to wrap up warm, especially hands and feet! We spent quite a while at each spot to allow us to get lots of content! Our guide was brilliant and took loads of photos of each of…”

It was great to see the puppies and have time to ask questions to the really knowledgeable staff. An experience I’ll never forget. I removed 1 star regarding the transport because we were waiting for 30 mins outside before we got picked up. That’s they only negative we had but it happens and was prob a one off.”
