I went solo and honestly was a bit nervous about being awkward with strangers, but the group vibe was chill. Our guide, Max, was super friendly and made sure everyone got their own photo under the lights. He even showed us how to set up our phones for night shots (didn’t help my ancient Samsung but appreciate the try). The aurora itself was legit MAGICAL—like, actual goosebumps. Dress warm, it’s colder than you think standing around waiting for the show.

Absolutely INCREDIBLE night! The sky lit up with green and purple lights. Guide was so patient, helping everyone with photos. I was freezing but so happy. 10/10 would do this again.
