Great fun! - Thank you Boris for an amazing trip! Unfortunately it was foggy and cloudy so we couldn’t see the northern lights however we had an absolute blast as Boris told us many stories, facts and history about the area. The food was delicious and the tipis were warm and cool!

A wonderful adventure! - We had such a great time on this wilderness camp. So much so, that when the Aurora was a no-show we didn’t even mind! The Lappish wilderness at night was enough of an adventure and our guides, Yasmin and Noah were great. We especially want to thank Yasmin who we connected with immediately because she is so genuine and connected to nature. We highly recommend this excursion if you love the outdoors and new experiences!

WONDER! - We were in Rovaniemi, the weather forecast gave an excellent chance of seeing the Northern Lights on the evening of 12/17, so we booked, last last second, a Safartica excursion by going directly to their office. We chose Northern Lights with picnic at the price of €74 per person (children up to 3 years free). Crazy experience in the forest, Lappish tent, sausages and marshmallows cooked on the fire, typical hot drink.... and the Northern Lights that did not spare themselves, keeping us company all night. We thank Gianfranco, an Italian guide, very nice and very knowledgeable. It was supposed to be an excursion in English, we had the pleasant surprise of his presence. Everything perfect, I recommend it! (obviously after evaluating the real possibility of finding the aurora on the app.... although it would have been wonderful regardless!).

Unforgettable experience on all 4 sides... a unique experience that the landscape itself has allowed us to enjoy, but... s - Unforgettable experience on all 4 sides... a unique experience that the landscape itself has allowed us to enjoy, but... without a doubt the experience would not have been the same without the help, affection and professionalism of the instructors... especially our instructor MIRIAM MALENCA!! Congratulations adventurer and thank you very much!

Disappointing Tour - This tour was very lacking. Very disorganised. Guides did not appear to know what they were doing, or at least were unable to communicate properly with the tour group. No lights were seen (understandable, you can’t predict the weather!) but the tour did not provide much else to do other than some food on a fire. The bus ride there and back was in virtual silence. There was a lack of educational or interesting information provided, e.g. there would have been plenty of time to provide educational talks on aurora borealis or Sami but this was a missed opportunity. A waste of money.
