Jann is a great guide, knowledgeable and with a dry sense of humour. We ended up in just the right place for the clouds to break and then slowly the Lights came out before a sudden explosion across the sky over the mountains behind us. Perseverance and patience paid off!

It was perfect… the 2% chance worked in favour of everyone… sometimes the best outcomes are the ones that we never expect. God bless Jann to continue his passion!

First we made a stop somewhere in the mountain then suddenly the aurora is getting bigger and Jann told us to get in the van and moved to better location, he drove us fast but safely. Within a few minutes we arrived at better location with better foreground and lucky for us the aurora was still big even getting bigger. Jann was very knowledgeable and he also lend me a tripod. Overall our experience with Jann was great.
