Tricky Lady Danced in the forest

4.00Transfer experience initially it was wonderful. We did not expect however to be in a bus with over 40 people out to the viewing site however it worked really well. Great building with fantastic fire, small bar and despite a Kp of 3 which was due to peak at 11 pm. What was really wonderful was we were not rushed, we saw the tricky lady so a wonderful night

5.00Absolutely mind-blowing experience! 😍 The people were unbelievably friendly, the location was breathtaking, and everything was so perfectly organized – from ice fishing to the mouth-watering salmon soup, from the thrilling snowmobile ride to the magical Northern Lights. 🌌✨ Honestly, this was a once-in-a-lifetime adventure, and we loved every single moment! We wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone, and trust us… we’ll definitely be back! 💖❄️

5.00Really cheerful, friendly, and genuine people. I had some drinks and spent an evening in perfect harmony—they made me feel at home, as if we were a group of friends. It’s a pity that the Northern Lights are hard to see clearly, but they have the right equipment to view them well and still enjoy the experience. We even started singing while waiting for the aurora, with a microphone and speakers—a truly wonderful atmosphere. From what I know, they’ll even be opening a restaurant, and if I come back here to Kemi, visiting them will definitely be one of the reasons. The only small critique I’d give is that I would have preferred to know beforehand that I had to pay for the Jägermeisters, same thing for the photos, I didn’t know they cost 10 euros, but it’s understandable; my English isn’t great and I saw that they also had some difficulties. Still, thanks to the fun and joy they gave me, it was absolutely worth it—so much so that I even decided to buy a round myself. I fully recommend them. Out of all the tours, the one with them was the best and the most welcoming! I will remember you, Timo, Pekka, Yupe. <3 - Saymon <3
Great experience!!

5.00The 2 boys the names I forgot unfortunately did this great so we could see the Northern Lights in between we went to the warm and there was something warm to drink and eat we were on the road about 4 hours, if it had been up to you then even longer. You can tell that the two of them are not only doing this for the money but really living it that way.
Amazing service

5.00First of all, we are very thankful that the guys contacted us and suggested changing the date, because based on the weather forecast, the booked date would have been bad for seeing anything in the sky. The Aurora Borealis is difficult to spot—you need both luck with the weather and the solar wind at the same time. We were lucky! Just look at the pictures—nature can be absolutely breathtaking. At first, there was only a faint bright line on the horizon. At a beautiful wooden cottage in the middle of the forest, the guys—Pekka and Juho (great lads; I felt like I had been friends with them for years)—suggested taking an extra snowmobile tour to a hiking hut on a hill. Just imagine: driving under a sky full of stars on a snowmobile through a tundra-like landscape. When we arrived, we felt like lonely hikers in the middle of nature, surrounded by complete calm. The hut was a simple wooden shelter that anyone can use. We gathered some wood, made a fire, and imagined how people lived in the past—fully embracing the feeling of being back to the roots. Unfortunately, we still couldn’t see the aurora there, so we decided to ride back to the cottage. When we arrived, Juho made some Glögi and started singing some contemporary Finnish songs, which was truly a great moment. Then, at some point, Pekka suddenly ran outside and called us all out—and there it was! Not just a small light on the horizon, but a sky filled with green and red, dancing in a marvelous display. It might have been one of the happiest days of my life. I am endlessly grateful to the guys for this experience and truly hope they can build on their plans for the future. They spent with us 6,5 hours so that we could see northern lights, which is much more than we have expected. So even if you are not so lucky with Aurora, just hang out with the guys, which is experience for itself.
Amazing Northern Light Experience!

5.00Perfect place for an aurora experience! We waited inside a nice warm lodge in a quiet dark location with chips, sausage snack and drinks (fresh spring well water) plus karaoke to keep us entertained while we waited for Lady Aurora. Tour operators are friendly local chaps who are entertaining and will reach out to you to change the date if the weather conditions are not good. We were lucky to catch some fleeting auroras but even without the strong aurora the night sky was really amazing.....
Great!
