5.00These folks do everything they can to get you to the Northern Lights! David found a beautiful spot with limited clouds. They also provided us with lots of photos which went well with our own. Worth the cost.
A night to remember

5.00David was a great guide!! The weather was not at all the best, they gave cloudy all night and with a poor view of the dawn. Despite this, however, we began our hunt with him in his SUV with other people. He was super nice, he showed us how to observe the movements of the aurora from the app to keep us updated as we moved. We shot four different spots, following the movement of the sky and in the end, thanks to his knowledge, we found the right one, the stars and the dawn!! Here he took several pictures of us with his professional camera. Returned after almost 5 hours, it was all worth it!!
The best day of my life

5.00I was skeptical we would not see the Aurora because it was cloudy. But David was patient and determined to give us the best experience. He took us to different locations to find a clear sky until the last stop. It was an awesome experience. David took lots of pictures and everyone had chances to take pictures like we were in the movies. We had so much fun. This tour was worth the wait and for what it’s worth. Thank you Viator for giving us a beautiful memory that will forever live in us.
Exceptional.... highly recommended

5.00David did all he could to ensure we experienced the light. At the start it didn't look like we would see them. David was persistent and tracked them. We drove about an hour till we had a good spot where the cloud cover dissipated. David was very friendly and was excited for us when the lights started showing up. A great experience. I would highly recommend selecting this tour!!!
Wouldn't deal with again.

1.00The experience didn't happen. The sky was completely overcast with periodic rain. The company called and suggested cancelling -- although they said they'd do the tour if we wanted or we could move it to another day. We didn't have another free day and attempting to do the tour was pointless, so we cancelled. AND THEY CHARGED US 20% FOR CANCELLING! Rip-off!
