5.0010/10 experience. our guide bjorken (apologies if spelled wrong) was very nice and friendly. I enjoy the private experience i had with my then bf now Fiancée he proposed right in the middle of seeing the lights. The lights were so beautiful and we were taken to a nice secluded area. the guide provided jump suit ,gloves, and a helmet for the ATV ride. Do not worry about the small amount of reviews, this guide is a hidden gem! I would definitely book again!
