It was an exceptional tour! Despite the weather forecast not promising anything good, with a little luck we spotted the Northern Lights. Of course, this was also thanks to the professionalism of Robin and Marta, who found and reached the best spots. The welcome and entertainment were excellent. The professional photos taken under the Northern Lights and included in the day trip package were also beautiful. Compared to many other day trips of the same type on the platform, the value for money was excellent!

It was a fantastic experience with Daniel who made the day very interesting. Thanks to him we visited two magnificent Norwegian fjords making numerous stops in very scenic panoramic points. I recommend this fantastic excursion from Kiruna, especially to live an experience different from the typical activities of Lapland.

The dinner, hot juice, and cookies (everything) tasted so good. Also the guide brought us a place to be able to see "clearly" aurora. He is truly an aurora expert. You may think that the tour price is a bit expensive but to be honest, it is worth. You should experience this valuable scenery.
