Awesome! - It was an awesome experience. They pick you up from your hotel and they drive about 20 min to get a clear view without any trees. The group was really small ( 5 people) and we were so lucky to see northern lights. The guide ( Alex) was so nice, took pictures, started a fire and gave us some sausages and cookies. However, it wasn’t 3 hours long as it said. Probably because we got to see the lights as soon as we got there, but just so you know it was about 2 hours including transportation. I would totally recommend this!

Amazing experience in Rovaniemi! - Definitely an unforgettable experience, highly recommended! - Very responsive, Alex responded to the queries I have. - Tanya will confirm pickup time and location day before the tour. - Tour guide is very knowledgeable regarding Aurora and he can take nice picture! (I forgot his name, he's a friendly French guy!) - Barbecue and hot berries tea are included! Perfect for the outdoor weather during aurora hunting.

Do not go with nordic adventure! - Aurora hunting. Worst experience ever. No equipment provided (with -29 degrees Celsius for about 4 hours under a roof with a small Fire that could not warm up, other tour operators provide you with the right equipment), mini van battery down, we had to wait one more hour for help! Freezing!!The small aurora Was seen by a person of the gruoup not the guide that Was under the roof by the Fire cause outside Was too cold! The guide Was nice, but the boss on the phone, with whom i organised the tourWas even rude! A bad experience!

A Bad experience. - The day before, the company anticipated the activity by half an hour On the day of the activity, there were excellent conditions for observing the Northern Lights, with maximum probability from 10:30 pm to 11:30 pm, But the guide said he had to go to work the next day and the 3h tour it was ending no possibility to stay more some minutes......unbelievable!
