The best part in our Lapland trip - The best part of our Lapland Trip was the hunt for the Northern Lights with Ivalo Experiences. Johanna and Niilo took our party chasing the Northern Lights and with their expertise we were able to witness the Northern Lights. The whole experience is etched in our memory and was truly unforgettable. This was then followed by a visit to their reindeer farm where we met their reindeers and had some delicious snacks/drinks around a fireplace midst of the forest. The whole three hour experience was just so calming and we would highly recommend Ivalo Experiences for anyone wanting to experience Northern Lights.

Best tour in Finland!!! - Wonderful!
Everything was perfect!
Johanna and Niilo were very concerned about making us feel comfortable and safe (it was -30°C that night).
They know the best places to see the Northern Lights, as they are locals.
And we saw the most beautiful Aurora ever!
After the Aurora hunt, we even had a campfire with reindeer visiting us, hot chocolate, and sausages!
Truly, the best experience we had in Finland!
We had other tours with other companies, but nothing compares with what Johanna and Niilo offered us.

Great experience. - We had an amazing Ivalo experience with Johanna and Niilo! The Northern Lights chasing was truly unforgettable, filled with great energy, patience, and memorable moments. They made the experience fun, relaxed, and special from start to finish. Highly recommend for anyone looking to create real memories while chasing the aurora.

It was really... - It was truly an unsurpassed experience. Johanna and her partner made us live a very authentic experience, first driving hunting for the aurora that manifested itself in all its beauty, then with their bonfire, inside their reindeer farm. We stayed chatting by the fire, in the classic Sami tent sipping great blueberry juice. Truly special people, an incredible kindness and humanity. 100 stars

Best Northern Lights and Best Service! - It was such a wonderful and valuable experience. The whole organisation was really good and the people were soo nice and they try their best to give you unforgettable moments... Coming from Japan, I couldn't convey it well in words, but I really appreciate it.
Thank you so much for letting us see reindeer up close and inviting us to the homemade Kota, as well as many surprises that we can't experience in Japan such as barbecue.
This tour has been amazing!
I was also happy to see how kind she was, taking pictures and putting on coats in the extreme cold.
I definitely want to introduce them to my friends who go to Philando.

Great tour through the night in Lapland - Johanna and Niilo were great hosts who had really thought of everything. From warm jackets, firewood and sausages (also vegan) to ice barbecues. There was nothing missing. We saw the aurora lights once for quite a long time, which was really great. Johanna even had a camera with her and took great photos of us. Otherwise, unfortunately, we weren't very lucky with the weather but that didn't matter as we then headed out into the wilderness and Niilo made a warm fire. We sat cosily around the fire on a frozen lake and roasted sausages + drank homemade berry juice and learnt a lot about Lapland and the region. A really great experience. Johanna and Niilo are two great and nice people from the Ivalo region and know their way around. I can highly recommend this tour to everyone.

We were lucky to have a very friendly guide and the Aurora was very active! - It was an extremely valuable experience to see the aurora on a large scale, covering the entire sky. The forecast said that we might not be able to expect much. So early in the tour, the guide told us each time she found even if it was small-scale. The guide moved the minivan to a location where the surroundings were darker and it was easier to see the aurora, which allowed us to fully enjoy the Aurora as they became more active. It was also interesting that she served us blueberry juice and chocolate drinks and told us stories of local life.

Aurora minivan - The escorts were very nice and kind, unfortunately we did not see the dawn for the cloudy sky
Given the cost of the experience I would evaluate the possibility of having a refund (as other companies do) in case of non-sighting of the aurora
