Hard but great attention. - It's harder than I thought to see auroras. You are subject to solar activity and weather. It was hard to see them, but in the end we made it. The attention of beyond artic excellent.

Amazing night - It was amazing. Our guide picked us up on time, provided us with tripods, headlights. The most amazing thing, the journey to the location was merely around 15minutes and WE SAW THE LIGHT once we got down from the car! The guide was excited too and took many photos for all of us. He remembered my girl rejected him for solo photo, and asked her again to take one. The lights never stop throughout the night. After a short drink and snack break, he brought the group to another side but the lights not as strong as before. We called it a night after this. We were very happy with the experience, highly recommended!

Unforgettable Northern Lights Adventure with Heidi! - Heidi made our Aurora adventure unforgettable. Her expert guidance led us to perfect viewing spots, and her photography skills captured breathtaking memories. She took stunning portraits under the magical lights.
The tour was well-organized, with warm drinks, snacks, and Heidi’s contagious enthusiasm making the night extra special. If you want a professional, heartfelt Northern Lights experience, Heidi is the guide to book!

Much promised - little kept! - We had booked the northern lights tour for 7 people for the 29th of December 2024 a couple months in advance.
Our guide Nina came to pick us up at our accommodation at 7:30pm. We took a short detour to the main office to pick up some extra gear, however, in regards to clothing we didn’t need any extra stuff. She handed us a backpack which we carried with us throughout the evening. After that we were off hunting the northern lights. We rode in a minivan since it was only us 7 and out guide Nina.
The weather hadn’t been great all day it was mostly cloudy all day. So right away we asked Nina about the chances of seeing Northern lights that night. She remained positive and told us that there’s always a chance. It took her a while to find a spot where the sky wasn’t covered in clouds but after about 40 minutes of driving she did. We got out of the car and looked at the stars in the sky. It was nice, but no Northern lights so far. We took a couple of pictures and continued our ride. After another 30 minutes in the car we arrived at a hotel parking lot. Nina had been in contact with other tour guides throughout the drive. We walked about 10 minutes, looked at the sky, took a couple more pictures but still no Northern lights. We could not even see the stars anymore. Nina took a few pictures with her camera to see if the Northern lights were „hiding“ but no luck. She offered a blue glowing stick to take group pictures. In hindsight it seemed more like an attempt to lighten the mood because we were getting a little frustrated with the way this adventure was going. We had given her an e-mail address back at the office so she could send us the pictures „in a couple days“. A couple of days turned into 1,5 weeks and the pictures were a blurry mess.
Back to the tour. The weather kept getting worse, it had started snowing and we decided to sit down at the hotel bar and take a short break, wait for the weather to improve and then keep going. We treated Nina to a hot drink. She called one of the other guides and she seemed hopeful that the weather would change for the better. We talked a little about the best conditions to see Northern lights and then continued out journey to hunt Northern light or at least that’s what we thought. We kept driving for about an hour, the weather didn’t change much and all of the sudden we were back at our accommodation. Nina hadn’t said much throughout the drive. It was 11pm, we were back at our house and stunned by what had just happened. Nina said her goodbyes by adding that we were unlucky and then she was gone.
To say that we were disappointed would be an understatement. We know that you can never be 100% certain to see the Northern lights and nobody is to fault for the horrendous weather conditions that night. But we would’ve wished for better communication throughout the tour. We had asked right away what our chances were and not once did it seem like an impossible feat.
We also would’ve liked clearer communication regarding the plan to drive back to Levi instead of continuing the tour.
We also didn’t see the advertised snacks and drinks during our tour. Quite the opposite: we treated out guide to a drink.
At the start of the tour Nina asked if we had any time limit for the tour, which we didn’t, so we could’ve gone longer. We understand that it probably wouldn’t have changed the outcome of the night but it just seemed a little odd to us in the overall picture.
The Northern lights tour was supposed to be one of the highlights of our trip to Finland but did not meet our expectations at all. Nobody is at fault for the weather but we had expected more for the price we had payed.
For anybody traveling to Finland: Our experience has been that you can see the Northern lights whenever there is enough activity (use an app for checking that) and there’s a clear sky. You don’t need a guide for that especially because nobody can guarantee good weather for the night you booked the tour.

Scam - I had a very negative experience with the organization and I am completely disappointed. We felt cheated and ripped off as, despite the adverse weather conditions in Levi and knowing that seeing the Northern Lights would be almost impossible, we were assured that we would have the opportunity to see them.
The guide took us to a distant point, about 100 km away, and although the sky was completely cloudy, he did not try to explore other places. He just waited until time passed to get back to the starting point.
Besides the obvious disinterest in the excursion, it is clear to me that all they care about is making money, no matter if they have to lie to achieve it. I have no doubt the intent was just to rip us off.
My recommendation is to avoid **Beyond Arctic**, as your focus on the business seems to be above offering a genuine experience.
