Well organized, professional and reasonable! Def recommend. - Our trip was so amazing!! Nicole was meticulous in providing all the information. Tony, our guide was sooo good, he was so knowledgeable and went out of way to ensure that we saw the aurora. It was a slightly cloudy night but he drove further to find the perfect spot for us to clearly view the magnificent aurora. Definitely recommended!

This tour was amazing!... - This tour was amazing! Our tour guide was very knowledgeable about The Northern Lights and was able to chase them down for our group! It was very cold but they also provided bonfires and warm drinks as well as reindeer sausages. Our tour guide also had a professional camera and took pictures of our group and the Northern Lights. I am so excited to see the pictures! I would highly recommend this tour!

Mesmerizing sights of the northern lights - A great trip with Andrew as our tour guide. The tour is well organized from pick up at hotel n back to hotel. While waiting for the aurora to appear, we have a campfire, bbqing the reindeer sausage and hot beverages to go round. We were taught the right way to catch the auroras with our iPhone. Even though it was cloudy we managed to catch the mesmerizing sights of the northern lights. The photos captured by the professional photographer were just stunning. Thank you for sharing the link

Great adventure in the coldest weather!! - We visited in the beginning of Dec. cold doesn’t describe what the weather was like!! My husband and our friend have some mobility issues. The team was just great!! Helping them in and out of the van. Making sure they had a chair they can use (they are big boys) and helped them with some warm drinks.
We thawed out by the fire, tried a reindeer hot dog (it was surprisingly delicious !!) and had some hot drinks to help keep us warm in the -22 degree weather. They took some pictures of just our group and individually as well. The aurora showed up for about an hour that night. Not as vibrant as the night before but still beautiful.
The night we arrived we actually scheduled a tour but there was cloud cover. They honored their agreement and gave us options … we chose another day. Their sprinter vans were very comfortable and the driver, was so friendly and knowledgeable. Might come back in the summer for his Kayaking tour!! Great experience!

Great experience - The team that took us to view the Aurora was great. The crew, including our driver Andrew, took great care of us including drinks at the site (coffee, hot cocoa) and deer sausage we could cook over the campfire.
We took amazing pictures and the crew helped me with my camera settings as well as taking pictures pictures of our family with their amazing set up.
Eagerly await the pictures they took.

Northern lights - We had Nick and Madelyn as our guides and they were great! They made sure to keep us entertained all the ride, checking on our body temperature to make sure it didn’t drop and provided us with snacks and answered all our questions :) Unfortunately, as all the tour guides mention, the northern lights are all up to Mother Nature and we weren’t able to see much of them :( They told us where the northern lights and you could barely see a glimpse of them. We stopped to take photos and they took all the pictures we needed and it looked nice on camera but not in person. However, it was not up to them and the tour company was great! They also provided me with ski pants which I was so greatful! The only reason I don’t give it a 5 stars is because it was pricey for the ending results :(
