Chasing Lights & Making Memories in Lapland - It was freezing, no lie, but warming up by the fire with some hot Glögi and grilled sausages made it feel like a little Arctic campout. And yep—we were lucky enough to catch the Northern Lights lighting up the sky. Pure magic. Whether you see them or not, the whole vibe is unforgettable. 10/10 would do it again.

A Magical Night Under the Arctic Sky - We stopped at three different viewing points based on the aurora forecast. And guess what we actually got lucky and saw the Northern Lights dancing across the sky! It was surreal. Even if we hadn’t seen them, the experience itself would’ve been worth it. Highly recommend it if you're in Rovaniemi during the season!

A great tour with very nice guides! - The Northern Lights tour was great. We were picked up by a small bus at our Airbnb and drove first to a public lake, here only a few Northern Lights were visible. Then we went on to a private meeting place by the lake. Here there were two fireplaces where we could warm up, warm tea and sausages that we could grill over the fire ourselves with skewers, plus a kind of small flatbread. The group was manageable with about 20 participants, 3 minibuses. The private location in the snowy forest by the fire was very nice and we still saw plenty of Northern Lights! I can absolutely recommend this tour for € 89 per person.

Beautiful - Very good experience. We could see the Northern Lights in several places, yet it was not visible everywhere but our guide knew how to take us to beautiful spots, we even stopped on the road quickly when there was a passing dawn. Thank you!

Great experience - Great experience, great organisation. They are trustable person, not the classic that wants only money, they tell you if there is the chance to see the Aurora, and in case is a bad day they cancel the reservation or reschedule it. Other companies just tried to get our money even if the sky was really cloudy. Everyone in the staff was really friendly and prepared. On top they photographed us and gifted the photo. Other companies ask for 100+€ per photo. Also the dinner with the camp fire was good.

If you want to make sure you do the tour, avoid this agency - I booked online the Aurora hunt with BBQ with To the North agency and I was supposed to be picked up at 7:50 PM. Nobody showed up. At 8:03 PM I texted someone from the agency. I also called them. No answer. Then they messaged me saying I had already been picked up. Really?! I was freezing waiting for them since 7:35 PM in front of a hotel and the guy tells me first that I have already been picked up and then that it seems that “somebody has sat on my place”. WTF?! Then they checked it and they said that an Asian lady who didn’t speak English said my name in order to be picked up. My name?! My name is a Catalan name. I explained it to some Asian friends and they are still laughing. I begged them to be picked up because it was my last opportunity to see the Northern lights and their answer was: “All cars already left, somebody took your place”. No apologies. No solutions. Nothing. 1- Nobody was picked up at 7:50 PM at the place I was supposed to be picked up and was written in my email. I was there and no Asian ladies with Catalan names were there. The truth is that there was a customer waiting for a van at Arctic light hotel and nobody showed up. 2- If there has been a misunderstanding or it’s your mistake, call the client immediately, apologize and give an explanation. 3- If the client calls you several times, answer the phone. 4- Maybe your hikes are not located in Sunset Boulevard but bloody hell, you really think you are a cheap Hollywood screenwriter with your ridiculous stories about Asian ladies who impersonate customers. I ended up booking last minute with Nordic agency. They are absolutely great and they made sure I left the country having seen the Northern lights. This is how you run a business, not saying things like: “One asian lady said that she Montse, she dont speak english”. So ridiculous. I chose the option “pay on arrival” so probably they gave my place to another person who called last minute and paid immediately online and they “forgot” my booking, otherwise they would have picked me up because the vans were not that far when everything happened and it wasn’t my mistake. Vamos, que pasaron absolutamente de todo porque les dio la real y absoluta gana demostrando lo poco profesionales que son. Si os queréis asegurar de hacer la excursión, reservad en otra agencia.
