Awe inspiring auroras! - It was an amazing experience, absolutely splendid to see the lights dance across the sky. The guides were very helpful and friendly. They took us to a location with very little light pollution where we had a clear, cloudless view of the sky. Thank you safartica for the superb experience!

Auroras tour - Our guide Martin was excellent, we went to 4 locations where we saw auroras (some places more intense) and he explained very well and took nice photos of us, however the snacks and drinks could be better

Sensational - Fantastic. Unique experience. Our guides were spectacular. We were worried about the cold (-24) because we took the children, 7 and 11, but the organization of the tour was very good and the children enjoyed every minute. I highly recommend it. Congratulations Safartica team

Northern lights tour - We had an amazing trip from start to finish. Our guides Suzanne and can.t spell his name🫣were fantastic and went above and beyond explaining everything to us from photography to the lights . We saw the lights and the pictures Suzanne took were amazing. We would highly recommend this trip. Many thanks from Shane and siga. 😁

Great overall Experience! Were able to capture the Auroras! - The tour was really good. We were able to spot the aurora at the 2 locations the guide took us. The guide was good and took us to great viewing spots, as well as captured good photos. Overall happy with the experience and will recommend to take the tour at least once when in Lapland!

No Lights: Good Try - Very well done. Seeking the Aurora, the bus (comfy and large) went to several locations seeking lights. While we didn't see any Northern Lights, the staff were helpful, tried hard to find good spots, and were careful with the customers. Nothing you can do about clouds, but this group did its best. Would go back with them -- if the weather was cooperating.

Nice trip - There were too many groups of people at the viewing location. It’s a bit hard to keep track of things. In general it was a nice trip.

Ugh - We booked an evening of Northern Lights hunting for 4 hours but you should know that, of these 4 hours, we already stop for at least an hour to take photos (even though we had clearly not paid a high price to take photos in the snow...). . On the Aurora app, we saw that the activity was more intense 1 hour after the end of the excursion but the guide told us that, as she was not being paid overtime, we were stopping. Nothing to do with the excursion we booked the next day on the same theme In short, choose other companies. There are many in town

No alternative when there are no Northern Ligths. - Hunting the Aurora Borealis :D Thats sounds fun! Unfortunataly we didn't see/found it, but you cant garentee that. No problem. After a long wait (one hour) at the office we drove with the bus to Pello. In the describtion Safartica wrote about " visiting several spots". We only drive to two spots, at the last spot we wait for one hour on a frozen lake (yes, oke with cookies and glogi). This spot was full of light pollution and the two guides where only busy with taking photos of them selves. When the change of seeing te lights is very small, organize a good alternative (some campfire with marshmallows or a snowshoe hike on the lake). Instand of waiting under the clouds and sseing much light pollution.

No guarantee on Aurora Northern Lights - 4 hour bus ride in the dark. Stopped briefly and saw nothing. We could have saved ourselves the trouble. Other groups saw Aurora near Santa Village the same evening. Unfortunately we didn't, although we drove on. I would have expected the tour guide to coordinate with other guides by phone. It was partly cloudy. A real shame and a lot of money for nothing.
