Casper was the best guide! Super fun to be around and super available especially when he had to take our pictures. We were able to see the aurora not too far away from the city, (only about an 1hr away, which was great) and it was spectacular! 10 out of 10.

Know before you go

  • The tour happens only if the conditions are promising enough to see the Auroras. If we have to drive for longer to get to clear skies, we'll leave earlier and in case of a shorter drive, we leave later.
  • Departure time changes between 17:00 and 21:00 and the duration of the tour can take anywhere from 2 to 10 hours.
  • If for any reason you don't get to see the Auroras during the tour despite the guide's best efforts, your ticket price will be refunded in full and you can pay a voluntary fee to cover some basic costs such as fuel for the car - but only if you want to!
  • If a tour is unsuccessful or canceled altogether due to poor conditions, you can book a seat on a tour on the following days, based on availability.
  • We are talking about natural phenomena and sometimes it can take some time us to see them, however if we decide to stay in one place where we see fit, we will make campfire and roast some sausages and marshmallows while we wait auroras.

High recommended! Roni was a very nice and professional aurora hunter. He would help you take photos so you could just relaxed and enjoy the aurora show. It was cold outside but you could always wait the van until the lights’ out so perfect arrangement!
