Wonderful Experience! RECOMMEND! - I booked this tour as part of a christmas gift to my husband and parents who traveled from the USA. It was their first time in the Arctic region and they had never seen the norther lights before. Atanas was our guide and he led an incredible tour. We received a lot of academic knowledge on how northern lights are formed and what conditions are required for them to be visible. The truth is, due to the magnetic field of the earth and weather conditions, we (humans) really dont have any control of aurora borealis activity and despite clear skies and elimination of light pollution, northern light activity was extremely low. However, Atanas was persistent and was able to make a sighting of a small one that we caught on camera! In spite of the low activity, the views of the night sky, private locations we visited and the campfire/BBQ we had in a traditional Sami tent made this experience very memorable. Additionally, Atanas ensured we received a safe ride back to our AirBNB following the conclusion of our trip since we were staying outside of the city center. I recommend this tour!

Magic in the skies - Wild about Lapland is a fantastic company and Mark was a great guide. He knew where to drive to best locations, we had a few stops where we experienced the aurora in all its beauty - magical swirls and patterns in pinks and greens - what a magical experience!

Northern Lights - We were lucky and had a clear night and the northern lights were active. Stopping in a remote area with no interfering light allowed us the best view. To have a BBQ and hot chocolate as well was a bonus. Viola and Wild About Lapland were fantastic.

Hunting the Northern Lights: An Unforgettable Adventure - Our Northern Lights chase with Jade and Remy was unforgettable. From the very beginning, they were incredibly warm, welcoming, and full of excitement — and they passed that energy on to all of us. We traveled all the way to Sweden and had the incredible experience of seeing the Aurora four different times. The guides were fantastic — always stopping at the right moments, supporting everyone in the group, taking photos, giving tips, and helping with anything we needed. It truly made the whole adventure even more special.

Please refer to it‼️ - First of all, I thought that the objective of the tour was to take the audience to a certain place, regardless of the weather. I went to the office beforehand to ask if they were going to stop touring in such terrible weather, and they said there was no certainty they would be able to see the Northern Lights as they were natural. The tour was cancelled early if the other friends could not see the Northern Lights on the day, but it was not cancelled here. We enjoyed the Wildlife Preserve and Takhini Hot Spring tour. I decided to go because I couldn't cancel anyway. It wasn't fun at all.

Dissatisfied and dissapointed - We were very disappointed with the tour as it was supposed to be a guranteed northern light viewing. there was no or scant visibility for less than 5minutes and hence the tour should not have taken place . We paid for the light tour not to have snacks and sit in the hut which became the primary focus of our trip.

Poor attitude, non compassionate and greedy. Avoid at all cost. - Extremely rude and unforgiving company. Avoid at all cost. 1. The company does not listen. They talked over customer’s voice and not listening. No compassion. Poor attitude. 2. We booked 2 tours with them. We got stuck in a snow by a previous tour company’s car and could not get back to town. They said we need to tell them by 3 pm. They think getting stuck in snow is that predictable? 3. Their aurora tour is with bad policy. Even with the snow and they still insisted to go. They should have offered some compassion and asked about our wel being of getting stuck in snow. Instead all they focused on is their.3 pm report and their money. Extremely rude people. There are companies everywhere just do not use these people! I wish them the best for such unkind, not understanding and greedy attitude..
