5.00We made our tour on October 29 with our guide Nelson. We had an upgrade to the minibus, including thermal clothing and winter boots. Nelson took us one night when the Aurora Boreal was really stunning. Everything was wonderful! The tour, the group, the selected places for the observation, the fireplace so welcome in the cold night, with typical food, marshmallow and hot chocolate. Nelson is Portuguese, so there was a greater entanglement for the ease of the language, and besides he is a sympathetic, very kind to everyone, polite and knows everything about the Northern Lights! The photos were wonderful! Worth every nok!!! I'd take that walk a thousand times... Thank you for everything, Nelson!

5.00Petra and our driver went out of their way to collect us form our accomodation after confusion at the pickup point. Her expertise in photographic catching of lights was perfect...got GREAT shots. Reindeer soup, Thai curry & marshmellows at the firepit were good. Arctic suits/boots were warm & compared to other operators the price was RIGHT. Worth the money, well done...Annette & Curtis
Amazing exprience.

5.00We weren’t lucky enough to see the northern lights but Petra never gave up hope and kept trying. Even though the lights didn’t make an appearance the experience was amazing. I will remember for the rest of my life sitting on reindeer skins in the snow around a campfire drinking hot chocolate! How many people will have done that? Petra and our driver were both excellent I’d highly recommend. Thankyou Petra you made our experience wonderful
Once in a lifetime experience

5.00Barbora is a great guide!! She goes out of her way to stop at the best spot(s) to give us a maximum chance to see the Northern Lights. And she succeeded successfully!! In addition, we received a lot of explanations about the aurora! It was an amazing experience!! A hyper secure driver also despite the ton of snow. Thanks to this great company, I recommend 100%!!
