Although we didn't see... - Although we didn't see any auroras because of the clouds, we had a nice time around a fire chatting and eating. We had some sausages and a typical Finnish rice pie. The guide was very kind!!

Great Experience! - We had such a good experience, Allen was a great guide. He explained to us everything about the northern lights but unluckily we were not able to see them because it was cloudy and there was still sun light, maybe next time we could be lucky!

Saw the lights! - Allen was a great, wonderful guide. He was talkative and fun. Was a safe driver. Made a wonderful fire and yummy treats. He went above and beyond to make sure we had every opportunity to see the northern lights.

A night to remember - The driver picked us up at the exact time at the hotel and headed to the lake. Driver was very amicable and chatty and explained about the aurora. The night was cold and sat around the camp fire. Guide tour was amazing talking about finland. No sight of the aurora due to cloudy weather

Not what I expected - Pick up by the tour. I think the location and the time of tour need to be realistic. I think this trip need to be flexible as if the aurora no there they should allow reschedule.

Aurora trip - Our guide Eric turned up at our hotel on time and did his best to provide an enjoyable experience with our small group. We did not see the aurora which is not guaranteed, but were warm by the fire and enjoyed the bbq. The only dissapointing part , apart from not seeing the lights, was the poor communication from the tour company and only receiving pick up details 5 hours before the trip which is why I only gave 3 stars.
