Fantastic! - Worth every penny! Our expectations were low but the outcome was high. Weather was not great, and we were first tour of the season…but at the very end we were able to see the beautiful northern lights! Seeing wild reindeer and moose along the way were just icing on the cake. Guide is very smart and knows the best places to go and what to look for. We had a small group of 5. The bonfire, marshmallows and delicious cake were all bonuses. We got back about 2:30-3 am and although tired.. it was totally worth it! Highly recommend.To our wonderful guide: Thank you so much for a lovely tour last night! It was wonderful. How can we get photo that you took of husband and I in front of the Aurora? We are happy to purchase. Thank you! Best regards! “Pennsylvania” Brenda Sent from my iPhone

Luck and an awesome tour guide was on our side! - Holy cow, what an experience! It was one of the last tours of the season and we decided last minute to take a chance and book since the possibility of the northern lights showing up was increasing based on an app we were following. And the weather had JUST cleared up. Mansoor was an amazing tour guide!! He made a few scenic stops to give us an opportunity for photos on the way to the area to see the northern lights. Literally the first stop we went to, the northern lights showed up!! It was very dim at first but within the 2-3 hrs we were there, it came through many times with a few times with very strong aurora activity (green even without using the camera to view!). Monsoor helped capture some amazing photos and just made the overall experience a night to remember!

Awesome experience, and an amazing tour group (highly recommended!). - These guys Mansoor, Michaelis, and Ghol (hope I got their names right!) are amazing and very enthusiastic and passionate about giving their clients the best experience despite unfavorable weather conditions. They didn't give up and kept checking on us and asking us to be patient because it does pay off! I knew our chances of seeing the northern lights were slim not only because it was already off-season and the weather kept shifting...but low and behold it came out in all its glory and we caught a glimpse of it. Awesome experience, and an amazing tour group (highly recommended!). Keep it up, guys!

Highly recommend- courteous, sincere and knowledgeable guides - Mansoor and Adil were extremely courteous and sincere. I was travelling with my mother and they always gently helped her up and down the difficult landscapes. They took good photos of us (even on our phones)- and offered often to help take pics. They also taught us to take good pictures! ( all of this above and beyond the photos they took as part of the tour). They were very helpful, sincere and well organized. I highly recommend this tour!

Once in a lifetime experience with a great guide - Our guide Mansoor was amazing and showed us exactly how to take photos of the lights, was able to see them even when super dim, and we waited it out until we saw the most amazing lights across the sky. The hot chocolate and bonfire were amazing touches.

Poor - Unnecessary stops, loud music and stressful narration. Definitely do not recommend this ride at all. Very overpriced for what you get.

Driver was too fast - The conditions weren’t great, however, the driver was driving way too fast. We did not feel comfortable even after being asked to slow down.
