Great aurora viewing experience!

5.00We enjoyed our experience very much! We were led to different locations by David (who also took photos for everyone and shared them with us the next day). He was very knowledgeable about the aurora and when/where we’d be able to see them best. He was eager for us to enjoy our evening and to get to see the aurora. Our driver Jeremy was also great.
Chase it down

5.00It was a last minute booking coz the Private Arctic circle tour was cancelled unilaterally by the tour guide. Really glad we made this spur of the moment decision. Had breathtaking views of Aurora on a kp3 night. Thanks to the guide who made sure we “chase down” the dancing lights. Took us to exceptionally vantage points for unhindered view. Just brilliant!! Definitely recommend this.

5.00Joy and David were our photographer and navigators. Even though the conditions were not the best due to being partly cloudy David was really knowledgeable and finding the lights even with all the clouds and Joy kept us comfortable throughout the event. They both did their best to capture great pictures despite unfavorable conditions. Would recommend!
Amazing Experience!!!!

5.00Chasing northern lights was outstanding. They know how to chase the lights. They are informative. The guides take photos for free. They do keep us warm in the vehicle as best they can. Even though the weather forecast was mostly cloudy, they found clearing sky and waited for a while so that we would see the better lights. They were so kind and gave us more detail information how the lights go. They sent beautiful photos under the lights, which was included. No extra charge. in the tour! Super kind, great tour guides! Will definitely book again! Thank you!!

5.00David was a nice polite photographer and our van driver. Only me and my wife were in the SUV so we got plenty of time for photographers and we were really lucky to just see the Aurora right out of the gate in the first location he took us to. We decided to come back soon since we'd already gotten a glimpse of the lights throughout and we were really tired. But lucky for us we got an even brighter display of the lights on our way back and David was quick to pull over and capture them some more for us
