The tour was well managed. I have had another tour and this one was better. He took us to a place with low light pollution, and we were able to see above average northern lights. The forecasts were not good and we just got lucky. He also took lots of portraits and shared the m the next day. The ride was safe and comfy. The panoramic roof doesn’t help too much though. He also knew his way with the camera. This sounds like a paid review, but I appreciate it even more seeing how a minivan tour turned out the next day(with a different provider).

The perfect northern lights tour. The guide was super friendly and knew exactly what he was doing. We were a small, exclusive group, which was really good. We didn't go to the spots where everyone went and really found the perfect northern lights. Absolute recommendation and I would do it again and again.

The activity provider Brynjar was lovely and professional. He provided good service by making sure we could see the best northern lights and we were warm enough to stay in cold weather. He also took nice photos of us with the northern lights. We experienced our best night and highly recommend this!

After meeting our guide at the meeting spot, he gave a clear and honest explanation about what to expect for the night. We drove about an hour to our first stop and were already greeted by beautiful lights! We drove to 2 more spots and even set up a campfire with hot chocolates and cookies.

I absolutely recommend the tour! Experienced guide, strived to give you the best experience. The tour was perfect and the northern lights were stunning!
