I booked this tour last minute as I had been watching the weather and left one night open for "just in case". Polar Adventure did a great job on land, and so I booked them again for the sea and it did not disappoint! The skies were clear and before we could get away from the city lights, the northern lights began....and didn't stop the entire time we were on the boat! The crew did a great job making sure we were all aware of what was going on and taking photos of them and the northern lights. The night was specatcualr and the captain and crew kept us on track and we saw some the most amazing northern lights to date! Cannot recommend this company enough!

I had originally booked this tour as a cruise tour, but as is with nature, the weather conditions canceled the boat option, and the team communicate early enough with several options. I selected the minibus tour instead. This afforded us the opportunity to go on the hunt for the northern lights and beat the clouds. And beat them we did! The team successfully tracked down gaps in the clouds and we saw the northern lights. Kudos to the team for their communication skills and efforts to find the northern lights. Not only would i recommend them, i actually booked another cruise with them on my last night (and had an amazing experience as well).

The crew are helpful and friendly. They speak multiple languages too. Note the meeting point could be different. Check your email before the tour, as the operator would send you the new location map. Ask for the thermal suit. It really helps you to feel warm thus allow you to stay outside longer to enjoy the beautiful scenery and of course the Aurora

V cramped boat. They encouraged people to move around the vessel but the railings were v low, felt someone could go overboard quite easily in the dark and icy deck. Nice crew and plenty of hot drinks and biscuits available.
