Everything perfect! Sara always reminded us that seeing the Northern Lights requires a lot of factors that are impossible to be 100% sure of when or where to see them. But she made it possible! Showing her knowledge and talent. Really happy with the experience

we were lucky we had the chance to watch the northern lights for a long time. Our guide gave a short explanation about the northern lights. The content and length of the narration were sufficient. The tour company also gave each of us a vest for our safety in the dark. We rested on the bus from time to time when we got cold, when the northern lights got stronger, they called us and thanks to them we did not miss a moment. They took our photos, now we are waiting for the photos to be sent to us. On the way back, we asked permission to get off on the road and they were very helpful in this regard.

This was so much fun. We did not think there would be any northern lights to see is Trump so has been a combination of a wintry mix for many days now… And we flew in through a cloud mass that was so wide and large. I did not think there was clear sky anywhere. However… We drove 2 1/2 hours to Finland… it was not long before we saw a slight evidence of the northern lights in the sky. And then brighter versions of it. We were really impressed and we’re happy with this… But then, pretty soon, the entire sky was filled with swirls and movements and colors, bright enough to see with the naked eye, and we were absolutely blown away. We would have canceled this tour. How do we been able to do so in time and I’m glad that we did not. These guys know what they’re doing and where to go in the delight from everyone was so apparent! Knowing we traveled from Norway to Finland was very cool. My iPhone captures some good pictures… the guides sent us more via email! DO this… it was Magical!
