Northern Lights Tour with Professional Photos - My experience on the Northern Lights tour with professional photos was absolutely unforgettable! From start to finish, the tour was well-organized, and the team did everything possible to ensure we had the best chance to witness this natural wonder. The guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and genuinely passionate about the Northern Lights. He explained the science behind the aurora, provided historical and cultural insights, and kept us informed throughout the journey.

Well worth the wait in the cold! - Well worth the time out in the cold to see the northern lights! Tomas was prepared and drove us outside the city to catch them! It took a while but what a sight!

Lights of amazement - The trip experience was amazing. Jonas, our driver, drove to a secluded area that we were able to see the lights with no light pollution. He took great photos and found several other spots for us to continue experiencing the light. The hot cocoa and cookie were a bonus.

Aurora Viking made my northern lights dream come true. - Aurora Viking northern lights tour was a great experience. Kobe is really knowledgeable about the Aurora and shared with us how he tracked weather and interplanetary magnetic activity (hope I got that right 😊) to find just the right spot for us to catch the lights. Further, he also knew the best hidden spots, so our little minibus had the dark skies to ourselves. He also took professional pictures for us and taught us how to take better pictures with our own phones. He was responsive to my emails (I had lots of questions). Thank you for an amazing experience!

Beautiful Aurora - My driver, Felix, drove us all over trying to find clear skies. Eventually we had success and ended up being able to enjoy the beautiful aurora dancing across the sky. I didn't partake in the viking gear, but it was available to those who wanted to. This was a fun tour and I'd recommend Aurora Viking!

The most incredible evening! - Wow, where do I start! The most incredible experience to witness the Northern Lights in all their glory. Super pleased we opted for the Aurora Viking tour which was recommended by our hotel. Our guide Kobe (beef) was also amazing and provided great hospitality, knowledge and humour with a very polite and pleasant manner. A big thanks to Kobe for making this dream possible! Highly recommend this tour if you want to stand any chance of seeing the magic for yourself.

20.1.25 - If I could put more than 5 stars I would. An amazing night, with the best tour guide, Kobe. Before we booked, we were debating whether to do this tour (a small minibus) or a bigger group one on a coach. I can confirm, I’m so happy we decided to book this one, and was definitely worth paying the extra. Kobe was brilliant from start to finish, made us laugh as soon as we got on the bus, great banter, super knowledgeable and funny Viking props. Provided us with biscuits and hot chocolate, amazing photo opportunities by him on his camera and best of all, we saw the Aurora dancing😍 Thank you so much Aurora Viking.
