“We did this tour two nights. We got to see the Auroras one of the nights because weather was really cloudy. I have to say Magne, the guide, really did make a positive impact in the experience. Its is a long and cold journey searching for Auroras, but Magne always kept the spirit up and made all the group fell commited to the experience. We even went as far as the Finland border searching for the lights. Also, we got professional photos from the tour operator, now i can say that is a must when you book a tour for the northern lights.Read more”

The scenery was starkly beautiful and our guide found the best locations. On the way back he told us some Sami history and played the most beautiful Sami music. I learnt so much and was so touched by the beauty of the landscape and moved by the story of the Sami struggle. Inspiring.”
