Incredible experience. We were worried we wouldn't be able to see the lights since Ranua was under cloud cover, but the tour drove us several hours so that we could get clear skies. It wouldn't have been possible without their expert guidance on both weather and lights forecast monitoring. The guides made the trip even more fun (shout out to Kalle!) with campfires complete with marshmellows and sausages and beautiful photos. The company is also ethical - they waited to confirm the trip / take payment until they thought there was a reasonable chance we could see the lights. I highly recommend.

We had a great activity, with all the trimmings, our crowning glory. We saw aurora borealis to eat and drink were allowed to skate feed reindeer and warm up in the sauna and take an ice bath grill sausages by the campfire and were driven on snowmobile five out of five stars. So the guys, the team, were in a great mood and we had a lot of fun. We can only highly recommend the activity and will gladly come back.!

The trip was fabulous, guides were very knowledgeable and hospitable. They were prepared ahead of time and made sure we got a great experience. Jonas was great fun and Jari is probably an aurora's whisperer! Well done to both, fully recommended!

We were driven to carefully chosen locations away from city lights. The team’s expertise in reading weather and solar activity paid off. We witnessed a breathtaking display of green and purple lights dancing across the sky. Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely enthusiastic about sharing the science and folklore behind the auroras. They kept the group engaged while ensuring everyone felt safe and comfortable. Warm drinks, snacks, and photography assistance were thoughtful touches. The guide even helped us capture stunning photos, so we could take home memories beyond what our eyes saw.

It was a snowing day throughout - we thought there was no chance for Aurora sighting tonight as the skies were cloudy too. Joonas and Kalle brought us to a spot where the skies were clear, stars were bright and most importantly, the auroras were just peeping out and they danced for us for a good 2 hours. We have to walk near a lake and they setup a fire-side and photo spot to help us take nice photos. The site is pitch dark and the photos below were taken via my mobile - looking forward to their professional pictures when they are ready ! To top it all up - we also had bbq sausages, mash mellows and have hot berries tea prepared by them. Wonderful experience and lots of chats and laughter too. Well done to Joonas and Kalle.
Aurora chasing and camp fire in the cold was great.
