Unfortunately we didn’t see the northern lights, but it is a natural phenomenon so best luck next time ! The guides were very nice and the food provided better than expected! There was also a fire lit which couldn’t fit us all, so some of us had to freeze a bit 😅 I would prefer a smaller group. Overall the experience was lovely and the guides were welcoming, funny and professional 🫶

At first, I didn't expect that I can see the northern lights because of the cloudy and snowy weather, but when I arrived at the camp site, it became clear night and the northern lights and stars appeared. That was a wonderful experience. BBQ was also great. It was cozy and relaxing.
