Great experience. Best guide - Great experience. The incredible guide. Despite the cloudy night, he did not stop until he found a clearing where he could see the auroras. Attentive and enthusiastic about his work. He took several photos of us with his camera that he later shared.

Northern lights with Tina - 5/5 Great experience with Tina and her husband. We only had one night in Lapland. We enjoyed the snowmobile sleigh, the indoors campfire, the warm Blueberry juice provided with food, and luckily we saw the Aurora last minute. Every promise was met. Thank you.

Very good tour! - Very good tour! The couple picked us up at the hotel in Ivalo. We got warm clothes and went with a small bus to the lake. There we went on a sledge pulled by snow mobile and had a ride on the lake. Beautiful to see the Northern Light around us! (Kp 3) . After that we went to a small island in the tipi and had a lovely warm dinner( also vegetable option). There were 2 rendeers as well . Lovely to see them around . Thank you!

Nice tour to Lake Inari with amazing dinner! - Our guide Tina was very friendly, dinner was great. Salmon soup was the best soup ever! It was nice to sit in teepee by warm fire and drink hot berryjuice 😊 Weather was bit cloudy, but we did see small Northern lights from the island 🤩

Amazing! Must do! - Amazing. Cold, but amazing! We didn’t see the lights, but any dissatisfaction left us because of the kind host. This family owned and run business kitted us out well and brought us to a tepee. This campfire warmed tepee provided a great atmosphere and the hosts cooking was delicious Finnish food. We were allowed to take photos on the sled/snowmobile and they all turned out great. Highly recommend.

Aurora hunting at the Inari lake - We enjoyed so much with this nice family. The night was so cloudy, but they made it and we saw a weak aurora in the middle of the Insti lake. We had a very nice dinner with sausages and delicious salmon soup.

Deeper to the Wilderness - Excellent experiment. We couldn’t see the northern light with naked eyes due to heave clouds and light snow. Otherwise the whole package was enjoyable. The guide was super nice.
