Our guides are experts in reading the weather forecast so they will know exactly where to take you to maximize your chances of experiencing this amazing phenomenon.

Unforgettable Northern Lights - Unforgettable night! We were not optimistic that we would get to see the lights. Thankfully, we were wrong. Our tour guide Oli was amazing. He seemed just as excited as us. He was very knowledgeable and knew right where to go to see the best views. We stopped at two locations to see spectacular Northern lights. I also liked that they would cancel the tour if they thought the likelihood of seeing the lights was very low. Highly recommend!

Amazing experience - We were picked up on time by our guide for the night and completed a couple of pick ups before going out on the hunt for the lights. During the drive our guide shared his knowledge of the aurora and what the plan for evening would be. We spent until 02:00 hunting for them and we’re luckily enough to see a glimpse near the end of our tour. Our guide was absolutely amazing and his enthusiasm to share the lights with us was such a delight to see as his passion was lovely to see. He managed to give me the opportunity to propose under a star surrounded by the green glow of the lights, what more could we have asked for!
