Elena is a wonderful guide and person! She did as much as she could to make this experience unforgettable. Nature is unpredictable but anyway it was a wonderful experience with a sky full of stars and nice pictures

Elena and Ed were amazing and enthusiastic guides! Logistics were smooth as they inform you what time they will pick you up, they offer snacks, water, and hand warmers, and their cameras/expertise ensures you get amazing aurora photos! Their excitement is infectious and did a spectacular job aurora chasing.
