Joy annd David were amazing hosts and kept a close eye on the auroras to ensure we saw them when they were at their strongest!

Incredible time during the Aurora viewing with Joy and David. They are extremely attentive and communicative hosts, ensuring every detail of the evening is perfect. One of the highlights was the amazing photos they provided—David skillfully captures you with the Northern Lights in the background, and the photos are sent to you after the experience. The cabin itself was the perfect setting: cozy, comfortable. Inside, everything you need is provided food, coffee, tea, cozy couches, and even board games to pass the time between viewing of the lights. What really stood out was that it was so easy to step outside for an unobstructed, breathtaking view of the auroras and then return to the warmth of the cabin. The location was ideal—secluded, dark, and far from city lights, which made the experience even more magical. Highly recommend this experience to anyone wanting a comfortable and unforgettable way to see the northern lights! Thank you, Joy and David, for making it so special!

The cabin was very comfy, cozy, and a perfect spot for viewing the northern lights. Inside there’s food, coffee, tea, couches, and board games. Easy to go in and out for viewing. Outside is dark and away from the city lights. I’ve also done mini bus tours, and I much very prefer this to the bus tour. Of course if it’s cloudy, the bus might have better chances, but otherwise I would absolutely pick the cabin.

David and Joy were super nice and attentive. the cabin was nice and warm and had plenty of snacks and hot drinks. I’m just a little sad I wasn’t able to get the professional picture that was included in the package. I was traveling by myself, so I kept to myself and really wasn’t made aware of what was going on until afterwards, when David was going up to everyone and sending them their pictures individually. Everyone was able to come in and out of the cabin on your own accord. I kind wish I got souvenir pictures like everyone else. But everything else was great.
