    What our guests say

    Well, what a wild night! Wasn’t sure we’d get lucky with the lights, but our guide (Nina? She’s a LEGEND) kept us pumped. It was freezing but they brought blankets for us and hot drinks. My partner and I mostly just stared up with our jaws open. Lights started out faint, then suddenly BOOM – green all over. Got some blurry pics (tripod would’ve helped, oops). Still, can’t stop talking about it. If you get Nina, say hi from us!

    Went with my sis and her bf. Weather was iffy, and we almost got canceled but they switched us to the next night. Super grateful for that! Lights were faint at first but then the sky just lit up. Our guide Felix was hilarious and knew a ton about stars too, not just the aurora. I recommend being patient – it’s a waiting game, but so worth it.

    Did the tour solo because my friends chickened out on the cold – but sooo worth it. There was a bit of a wait (almost an hour in the bus, ngl), but the guides kept spirits up. Once we got out, saw the lights for the first time and honestly teared up a little. The hot chocolate helped too. Bring extra socks!

    I’ve tried chasing the northern lights before and failed, so this time I had LOW expectations. But wow – third time’s the charm. The night was super clear, and you could see the lights start to swirl. Group was pretty big but everyone was chill. They even gave out little cookies at the end (nice touch).

    Family trip with two teens. The kids were skeptical but ended up loving it. Aurora showed up after a long wait, so bring snacks! Our guide, Max, was really good with questions (he even explained all the weird science stuff for my son). Bring a tripod if you want good pics.
