Great experience seeing northern lights

5.00We had a great time travelling around northern Norway, looking for the lights. We were lucky enough to see the aurora dancing above us and the beautiful clear sky full of stars. The journey was smooth and Andis made sure we were warm with the thermal suits. Snacks too, muffins, tea and coffee to keep warm after we’d seen the lights. Amazing photos for us to keep!

5.00The excursion started with a short and informative briefing about what to expect in the next few hours, which was helpful for me to understand more about the northern lights. Snowsuits, coffee/tea and snacks were included in the package. We didn't use the suits but it did get very cold out there! Aron was patient and knowledgeable about the lights. Did an excellent job at taking photos and is a very good driver (I have motion sickness). 10/10 would recommend, a memorable experience for my husband and me :)
After being let down by...

5.00After being let down by another company we booked this last minute and were not disappointed! Only 4 of us in the van, and we drove most of the way to Finland to find clear skies and spend a couple of hours taking photos and watching the skies.
6h northern light hunting

5.00Had a great experience with Nico. Tour started with a quick technical brief before our group was split into various vans each independently charting their route according to the group's preference. Our van had 5 of us with our driver/guide Nico who was excellent in bringing us around. I would also like to commend his photographic awareness in helping the group get shots and being mindful of where our own cameras were pointing.

A Magical Night Chasing the Northern Lights

5.00My aurora-hunting trip was absolutely spectacular from start to finish. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable, passionate, and genuinely committed to giving us the best possible chance of seeing the Northern Lights. Their expertise in reading weather patterns and choosing the perfect viewing locations made all the difference. Not only did we witness breathtaking aurora displays—dancing ribbons of green, purple, and pink across the sky—but the overall experience felt magical. The team provided warm gear, hot drinks, and fascinating explanations about the science and stories behind the aurora. I felt safe, comfortable, and completely immersed in the moment.
Private Van Tour to the Northern Lights

5.00This was a great tour to 8 friends in a private minivan. Our guide Aaron was super nice, totally competent and despite bad weather conditions found great spots with clear skies and great auroras. Many thanks to Aaron for the warm and family care. The man is funny and swell.
Unsatisfactory Service Quality, Low Photo Quality, and Unprofessional Driver Conduct
JT CHO,,Nov 19, 2025
- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00The service was poor. The photo quality was low/bad. Perhaps because the company is small, the place wasn't clean either. The drinks and snacks were also subpar. The overall quality was bad considering the cost. The driver complained that they were tired from working late the previous day. We also moved late to important viewing spots, meaning we couldn't arrive on time and ended up taking aurora photos on a nearby road instead. It seemed to be because we waited for a long time at a bad spot while the other teams moved on.
Dancing aurora

5.00Fabulous driver Angel, assisted by Nico, drove professionally on very snowy and icy roads, whilst seeking out the dancing aurora - thank you! Your photos were great too!
