1 million percent worth... - 1 million percent worth it! Dana was amazing and drove us to a beautiful location where we got to see Aurora dance in the sky. It was so great getting to share her passion for the lights with an evening under the stars and the perfect Aurora show! I can’t wait to see the photos she took!

Spectacular! - The best experience with the best guide, his energy is surprising and although this is his work does not stop marveling as the first time, we were extraordinary lucky all the conditions were to be able to see the auroras even from the city, it was a spectacular night. Gives the best attitude, disposition and attention I recommend 100. But don’t forget that on this tour the main factor is not controlled by the Guide or Enterprise but by God and Nature.

Northern Lights Tour Disappointing - It wasn't good.
Are the thin white clouds the Northern Lights? I was disappointed 😞 And angry that the fishing tour was canceled without permission

Total disappointment and waste of money - Lights were super weak
And tour guide is not interested in trying out more places
. They just went to 2 places and gave up. Don’t go by the 5 star ratings you see. They are giving a free aurora mug for anyone who rate 5 stars in front of them. Save your money!
