“David was our guide yesterday, 19th April 2025, and during the trip he did his wonders by explaining us how the northern lights appear and how some countries explained through mythology in the past. Super interesting. Thank you David! We got a cup of hot chocolate for free during the trip. We were SO lucky we got to see these amazing auroras this time of the year! Definitely would do it every single day of my vacations if it was guaranteed to see the lights. It’s really worth every cent!”

We weren’t introduced to our guide, our guide was nowhere in sight, never was offered a wool blanket, hot chocolate/pastry had to be purchased and a photograph wasn’t no where in site. Literally threw our money away on this excursion. Do not book! *No sightings (it’s nature, completely understandable) *Nothing that was offered was provided. $320 out the window!”
