Well organised trip with the guide, Maurizio, thinking of every detail. We knew it was not taken for granted to see the light, but we were lucky. What came as a bonus above my expectations, was that we were offered photos from the event to be sent by mail.

Eric was very knowledgeable of where to spot the lights from and very patient in wanting to stay as long as others wanted. He was an excellent photographer and made sure everyone got the best photo tips and photos throughout the night. Highly recommended!

Beautiful Experience. Our guide was Eric, professional, personable and very helpful. Well yes! We managed to see the northern lights. Experience to be redone for sure .. the cookies are delicious !!!!

We managed to see the Lights in early September under cloudy skies with intermittent rain. Truly felt like a miracle! But it was in large part due to our guide’s persistence and knowledge of the area.

Really good tour with Andrea who took us to the right spots and we saw the most beautiful display of lights. Highly recommend taking this tour if you are in Lofoten!
