5.00We had a wonderful tour and our guide, Magdalena, was a real star! Weather was mixed, but she knew where to go, was super knowledgeable with both camera and know how about the polar lights, and such a heartwarming person! We absolutely adored the experience and her company, thank you so much! Tipp: Bring more clothing than you think you need, to make sure you can wither out the harsh winds when waiting for the lights :)
When its a dark and stormy night...cancel the tour in advance and give a refund.

2.00The meeting spot by the Thon hotel is outside under a poorly lit door. Hard to find! Weather the night of the tour was windy, very cloudy and rainy. It was a miserable night to be out driving around. It even started sleeting and where we parked off the side of the road near a busy highway and water, I felt unsafe. This tour should have been canceled before it started. I give the driver kudos for safely returning us home. We saw one brief patch of northern lights before taking shelter in the van and heading back. Fortunately I got a refund.
Must Do!!

5.00We had a truly incredible experience and were lucky enough to see the lights. Our guide Eric was very knowledgeable about the lights and Lofoten in general. He was happy to share about his life and experiences on the islands, and I learned a lot about Lofoten from him. He taught us how to spot the lights and the best way to photograph them both with our phones and my DSLR. We got some truly spectacular photos. He also took photos of my partner and I with the lights and the Milky Way above us with his camera, and I’m very pleased with how those came out. The tour was also only 8 people + the guide, so it was a very personal experience. This tour was a highlight of my whole trip!!
Unforgettable

1.00Activity canceled a few days before. The guide was in the hospital. So far we can understand. But no alternative offered despite our multiple requests. Second activity with the same company modified 3 days before (group doubled and taken care of by another guide without financial compensation) and finally activity completely canceled also 24 hours before, through TripAdvisor and without any response by email from the 'organizer. No excuses. Deplorable.
Wonderful ☺️

5.00Thanks to our guide, Leena, and our lucky star that we could see the Northern lights so early on our excursion (at the 1st stop). We had so much fun taking tons of pictures and enjoying the view. Leena was always so considerate and friendly and very informative. We enjoyed every minute of the tour. 😁

5.00Claudia and Maurizio are really smart: professional, serious, prepared, helpful. They are available to help you even in times of difficulty. We did two tours for the Lofoten and Maurizio colors the experience enriching them with curiosity, news and information. Claudia very efficient and professional, bends over backwards for all customers. Very recommended
Exciting experience!

5.00Exciting experience! Thanks to Eric’s expert guide we were not only able to see the Northern Lights and get great photos, but we also heard his stories and all the curiosities about the Lofoten Islands. Money well spent! P.S. Cover yourselves!
Professionalism and courtesy

5.00Claudia and Maurizio are serious professionals and passionate about their work. They inspired our confidence from the first contact and we relied on their experience to see the Northern Lights during our week-long stay at the Lofoten. Claudia was in daily contact with us until the weather conditions were in place to see the aurora and so it was! Maurizio accompanied us, gave many useful tips and entertained us with stories of life and travel. We recommend that everyone contact Lofoten Lights to organize their excursions...you will be in great hands! Linda and Matteo
