5.00I must say our experience was simply fantastic!! Specifically our guide Ference and the driver ( apologies I can't remember his name) they both were awesome. Ference made the trip interesting and he was confident, knowledgeable and took us to right place at the right time to see and experience the Northern lights. Loved it thank you Ference ( Arctic Adventures) it was truly an unforgettable trip with awesome photos
Great tour to Northern Lights

5.00We had an amazing trip and were very fortunate to see an amazing light show. Our guide Ferenc was super friendly and as a bonus took some great photos and sent to us a few days later. We had a lovely driver Stein. And the bus was clean and warm. . There could be an improvement, scrap the freeze dried meal and just have the hot chocolate and something sweet, cake or chocolate bars.
Fantastic experience

5.00An amazing experience last October! Alex was very knowledgeable, and worked hard to find us a good spot. It was quiet with a small group and was wicked finally getting to see the northern lights. But even if we hadn't of seen them the stars were mesmerising. Thank you to both Alex and Svein ❤️
Unreliable

1.00Our tour was cancelled supposedly due to weather. However, our ship stayed in port the entire night, and there was no problem with the weather. This tour advertises that they will drive towards the lights to find them, however not if they don’t even try. The tours that were booked through the ship, for the exact same thing, all managed to be completed, AND they did see the Northern Lights. The four of us are greatly disappointed and would think twice about leaving such an important excursion up to them. Very very sad!
