Amazing experience! - What an incredible sight to see! The yacht tour was easy to get to and instructions were pretty simple. They had snacks and beverages available aboard. Get there early if you want a comfortable seat inside. But on deck is where it's most exciting. We were fortunate to see the lights the first night out. It was definitely beneficial coming with all cold gear (think gaiters and insulsted, windproof material). One of the best highlights of our trip!

Great Trip! - This tour was well-organised and I would recommend it. We did see the Northern Lights but they were quite faint and not really visible with the naked eye so the tour company offered everyone a trip on another day which we thought was a nice touch. We didn't take them on their offer as (i) we did see the lights and (ii) not really fair on them as they can't control a natural phenomenon. We sat on the top deck and yes it was freezing so do wear your thermals! Below deck it was warm and there was a bar.
