Good experience and quick aurora sightings, wish the tour lasted longer. The red and green aurora were spectacular to watch with naked eye

We know that the Northern Lights can never be guaranteed and that tours are guaranteed to be longer and more expensive – that’s exactly why we deliberately chose this tour. On our evening, however, it snowed heavily, the sky was completely covered, and it was clear from the start that no northern lights would be visible. Nevertheless, the tour was conducted without any indication or alternative. Only afterwards did we learn that there was generally no chance of the Northern Lights. Instead, photos were taken on a snow field, which were disappointing for us. The whole thing was annoying, as you could have saved a lot of frustration with better information in advance. We would have liked more honesty and transparency. The guide was nice and effortful, but the explanation about the Northern Lights was very concise.
Beautiful experience

After several attempts and an initially cloudy sky thanks to the patience and perseverance of the Safartica team we were able to see the Boreal Author!
Great experience.

Friendly and organized guides. They looked for the best sites for observation and spent enough time at each site.
The bus brought us to several viewing locations for the Aurora, and the guides made it fun and educational along the way

Despite the overcast sky our team of experienced Autora hunters (Giantfranco-Valentina-Cassandra) managed to find the only window in the sky to make us admire a fantastic Aurora and even some shooting stars. In the right place at the right time ..... thanks guys.
Great night of Northern Lights hunting

It was an amazing experience, the tour guides were so friendly, knowledgeable and professional. We reached up to Sweden to see the aurora. It was very long trip where they served us with hot drinks and cookies. I am so glad that we managed to see the lights in 2 amazing and clear spots. Thank you for for the great work!
