Our guides Frank and Hakon were amazing. We headed out on this tour when another provided cancelled on us the day before and couldn't rebook us for 5 days and I was so glad we booked with David the Guide through Get your Guide because they were fantastic. The coach was superb and very comfortable and we had a smooth ride. We were very lucky to see the beauty that is the aurora borealis dance across the night sky. Hakon quickly set up his camera and took photos of each group when im very happy to say were emailed to us onky a couple of days later and were fantastic. Both guides were extremely knowledgeable and you could ask as many questions as you wanted. We also had hot chocolate and were offered warm blankets. We loved every minute!

We were lucky to spot the Northern light en route to where the plan was to stop and watch them. Thankfully the guide decided to stop and let us enjoy them as the clouds moved to the location where we headed, and we didn’t see them there.

It was so amazing and Arni was a great travel guide! It took the time to take as many pictures as we wanted and was very knowledgeable! It was a great excursion!
