Great thanks to our guide Ondrej, trying his best to chase the northern lights all the way to south west region even on the return ride to our stay. Lovely aurora experience & the photos taken were amazing. Not to mention the warm free blueberry juice that also warm our hearts 👍

The guide, Gabriel, was fantastic. He was very enthusiastic and found us two magnificent spots to enjoy a magical night under the dancing northern lights right above our heads. An unforgettable moment!

Just got back from the tour and honestly, still buzzing. Our guide, Simo, picked us up right on time (even though I was late out of the lobby, oops). We drove for a while—felt like a real arctic roadtrip, snow everywhere. First spot was so-so, cloudy, but Simo kept saying 'patience!' and wow, was he right. Next stop, BOOM, the sky exploded in greens and pinks. Even my grumpy teen daughter was smiling. Simo had hot berry juice for us and snapped loads of pics (his camera is like, MAGIC compared to my phone). Cold? Yes, toes like ice, but worth every second. I’d say wear TWO pairs of socks. Would do this again in a heartbeat.
