Fantastic experience - An incredible experience.
The only dissatisfaction: unfortunately some of us were not on time, so we were delayed until we started. The organizers had clearly specified the meeting point and time.
As it was not clear at first whether there would be any northern lights to see, the bus drove us north for about 35 minutes. There, photos were taken of the approximately 30 participants. There was plenty of time for taking photos ourselves, while all participants took artistic photos with different artificial lights.
We then went to a lake. There we were amazed: a starry sky and northern lights in all directions.
Time again for artistic photos and our own photos.
Some of the participants seemed to be queuing for quite a long time for the artistic photos.
But there was plenty of time for our own photos.
On the way back, there was warm red juice and a biscuit.
It was a bit hectic to take our own photos. Many participants shone their lights around with their cell phones. It got better over time.
The lake was perfect, plenty of space for all wishes. The entrance was very hidden, I would never have found it on my own.
Antoine and his colleague (red hair) were very friendly, on the way there we were given information about how the northern lights are formed and little stories about cultural history.
The bus was on time on the way back. At midnight I was also very tired.
The breaks on the bus were good for warming up and changing batteries.
I would do this tour again and not only have myself photographed in front of the northern lights but also try a photo with the lightsabers. This time my priorities were different,
Warm clothing is available from the provider if required, the photos are made available for download on the website very quickly.

Great experience - We loved this tour , everything was perfect and our tour guides were really nice and helpful. We saw the amazing Aurora Borealis, they took great pictures, we also had a camp fire and hot drinks. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Great event - even without the Northern Lights - Although we were unfortunately not able to see the Northern Lights on our tour, we still had a great event. Our guide "Antony" from France, who works for Safartica (event agency in Levi), still gave us all a lovely late evening and explained to us which camera settings you can use to take great photos in low light. Instead of being able to photograph the Northern Lights (nobody can do anything about that), pictures were taken using tools (mainly a "laser sword").
Antony was funny and accommodating, so we give him 5/5 points. This tour can be recommended, but next time I would book at short notice based on the weather forecast and northern lights forecast for Levi.

Went with a electric snowmobile to look for northern lights. - Had a great time with this tour company and the Electric snowmobile activity. Unlike petrol powered snowmobiles, the E-snowmobiles produced no fumes which makes the ride much more enjoyable. And last but not least, our guide Antonin was very friendly, informative, and it was pleasure to have him as our guide.

Best Northern Lights experience imaginable - Antoine was an AMAZING guide! We lucked out and the Northern lights were spectacular for our snowmobile ride. He took us out of Levi to escape the light pollution and to a beautiful open area to see from horizon to horizon all the magic of the North. He made us a fire in a Kota and we roasted some marshmallows while he explained the science of the Aurora. He took some amazing pics of us and was so wonderful. Would give 6 stars if possible. Can’t recommend enough if you’re chasing the lights this is the best way to see them!!

Amazing aurora hunt with campfire - Antonin was a great guide, showing us a lot of the lapland forest. He also, with his experience, guided us to scan through the sky to track the northern lights and helped us to take great photos in the dark. Amazing experience. Thanks

Great tour with a “happy ending” - There were only 5 of us who set out to hunt for the Northern Lights. Unfortunately, we couldn't see any Northern Lights at the first two stops. However, our guide Meri took lots of beautiful landscape photos of the participants, so we were at least able to take some great shots with us. After a while at the third stop, where we grilled sausages in the snow and drank tea, we could actually see the Northern Lights in the cameras. They weren't visible to the naked eye. We were already happy, and when the Northern Lights were visible to everyone, the joy and excitement was even greater.
Meri was trying the whole time to find a top location for the natural spectacle and kept us entertained.
Thank you Meri!

Damage - Activity with little interest without the presence of the Northern Lights due to bad weather. No luck this time

Not worth it. - The title of the tour was misleading. I was expecting that we will “hunt” for the northern lights but only went to two usual spots. It was focus more on the photography. I suggest to check first an aurora app before booking this tour.

The worst service. Tourist rip-off - 4-hour tour from 20:00-24:00: In the middle of the ride around 22:00, our tour guide, which was also the driver at that time, fell asleep and drove the car straight to the opposite side of the road. Luckily no cars driving nearby at the time that happened. The car just got stuck in the snow. All passengers including the tour guide (7 people) spent 1 hour outside in -20 degree Celsius, trying to shovel the snow from the wheels and push the car but no help. We ended up getting a taxi back to Levi downtown after 23:00. So, to summarise, my friend and I spent almost 200€, not just that we didn’t get to see any Northern Light, we both were horrified from the accident, caught a cold and ruined the whole weekend with so many other plans scheduled.
