Amazing experience, our guide Thomas made the evening. He was experienced, knowledgeable and successfully hunted down the northern lights. It was great having a small group of 8. The spot we stopped for photos and the bonfire was perfect, I would recommend this tour company and guide.

We took two aurora tours with Wild about Lapland (one that lasted 7 hours and the other one that lasted 4 hours). In the first tour which lasted 7 hours we could see some northern lights. Although we have not seen them so clearly, our guide did his best to drive us as far as possible to places (until the Russian border) where we had a certain amount of probability to see the northern lights. The second tour that lasted 4 hours was amazing as we could see them very clearly after a 1 hour drive and the pics we took were stunning. In total, we were very happy with both tours due to the efforts taken by the tour guides.

Highly recommended! We have chosen 3 activities with this agency and could not make a better choice: - 1-hour snowmobile safari with Jordi - Snowshoe hike with Macarena - Northern Lights Wilderness Tour with Thibaut The guides are knowledgeable, passionate, kind and funny. Tours are for max 8 people, you move with minivan and the price includes Arctic suit and boots. Driving the snowmobile for the first time having fun but safely, taking a ride in the middle of a wood full of snow and learning how to light the fire, going in search of the northern lights, waiting for it and being amazed in front of it were beautiful experiences made special by being a small group where for the guides you are a person and not a number!
Beautiful experience

The excursion was very satisfying. At the beginning we were a bit discouraged because in Roveniemi at the starting point it was snowing, but about thirty km north (via the guide's app) we reached a site where the sky was clear and we witnessed the show of boreal authors for at least an hour. The guide was professional, took many photos and good quality. The site also had a heated tent with brazier where we enjoyed local sausages and drank hot tea. I would say a more than positive experience
Great service, very attentive and prepared guides, amazing tours and all the support needed for the tours!

The hunt for the Aurora Boreal was amazing! The Maca guide was extremely attentive and prepared at all times, in addition to the sympathy in passing knowledge about the Auroras!

With clouds above us my sister and I never thought we would see the northern lights but our guide Matus drove us 3-3.5 hrs away from Rovaniemi to spot clear skies. And then the magic was right above our heads, a day that we will never forget. We recommend taking the longer tour with WildAboutLapland for better chances, they do everything to make your dreams come true.
Amazing

The highlight of our trip to Lapland was definitely this tour. They gave us all the required information and tools to go on the tour. Zhania, our guide, was excellent. She was extremely considerate of each participant's needs and always responded to our inquiries and interests. She led us to two locations where we could take in this natural wonder while she took countless pictures of the entire group. Highly recommended. 10/10
Excellent company to see Auroras Boreales

Absolutely amazing experience! We did a small group tour with Micheal as our guide, super friendly and knowledgeable. Was a cloudy overcast night and he persisted and persisted at multiple spot, until we got excellent views and photos of the Aurora and northern lights. All gear was included as well as dinner and snacks. Excellent experience would highly recommended.

Beautiful time with Gabor. Evening that will remain etched in our memories as the aurora observed offered us their most beautiful show. We had to be patient but Gabor was so confident that we trusted him! Thanks to him for his professionalism, his knowledge of this magical phenomenon of nature and his kindness! If you want to spend an unforgettable evening, do not hesitate 😍😍😍
