Lovely try to see the Aurora

4.00We were a family of 5 trying to see the northern lights that night. Alex from Ukraine was our driver and Daria from Russia was our guide. Apart of us there were 2 other people - a gentleman from Germany and a lady from UK in the same mini van. Alex collected us from our accommodation. There were not that many chances that night as it was cloudy and later started to snow. We stopped to 3 locations and Daria and Alex later took us to a 4th one, but still no luck. We still enjoyed the bbq, the stories, we learnt a lot from Daria, she was a great story teller. At the end it’s a matter of luck, the guys did everything they could, but the nature said its last word. In a talk with Ukrainian and Russian you simply understand that the cruelty of this war is in front of the TV and between the politicians. Normal people like Alex and Daria are even friends and they work so well together.
Company called last minute- ruined our one chance to see the aurora

1.00Last minute cancellation- missed our one opportunity to see the aurora (they were seen that night so clearly by others and not on any of the rest the nights of our trip). Completely unprofessional, they only cancelled when I called twice (no answer) to ask for pick up details. I had to go through viatour- the company told them they cancelled due to weather (weather was amazing) and then whatsapped me and told me they didn’t have enough people. They then sent my number (without permission) to a supposed company who could take us… all sounds like some kind of scam to me. I got my refund but they ruined my experience and I’m not convinced they’re a real company. Pay more and get a legit company- do NOT recommend.
Wonderful Northern light chasing experience🌌

5.00Our northern lights chase with Daria and Anna's team was absolutely Perfect! Their expert knowledge led us to two ideal dark spots, maximizing our chances. They didn't just find the lights; they made sure we captured them, teaching us camera settings and taking fantastic photos of our group. The campfire BBQ under the stars was a wonderful surprise, adding delicious warmth and a true sense of place to the adventure. Thanks to their guidance, we have incredible memories and photos. This tour expertly blends chase, education, and local flavor for an unforgettable night. Highly recommend! ❤️❤️

5.00We did this activity last night with my family and loved it. We got picked up at our hotel on time and driven up north. Some members of my family have mobility issues and can’t do long hikes, so this activity was perfect for us. It was extremely cold for us (-26) so dress as warmly as you possibly can, preferably with waterproof shoes as there is snow. The campsite place that they bring you to has a little hut with fire that they cook the bbq at and you can warm up. It was a cozy environment suitable for children as well. The bbq was delicious and warm. We didn’t see any northern lights at the campsite but on the way back after leaving the campsite we pulled over in the middle of the road, and were able to photograph lots of dancing green lights. Each van sits about 6, and there were a few vans; but the total group wasn’t too large and it was a very enjoyable night.
