We had the opportunity to have Stephan as our Guide and Driver on 28/2/25. He was very knowledgeable, professional and funny. He was able to convey the science on the Aurora, the history of the regions beliefs on Aurora and the technology used to monitor the conditions that create the Aurora to a group that was generally there to see the pretty lights. The night worked out very well. Stephan took two tour buses due to staffing issues, got us to some great viewing sites and captured the best pictures of the night. Stephan was also a great help with photography questions I had. I Highly recommend him and the company. A lot depends on things outside their control, but what they could control they did a great job of. We had an 8 of 10 on the Stephan scale. I hope you do better.

Tour was absolutely fantastic. Our guide gave us great commentary on hour the northern lights occur and was actively monitoring the weather and communicating with other chasers to give us the best chance of seeing lights. we ended up near the Finnish border and were able to see great lights despite it being near the end of the season. Recommend highly!

Full description

Join this expert-led, small-group excursion to see nature's finest light show. Take part in a chase where the destination changes depending on the best chance of seeing the lights.

Sometimes the drive will be out to the coast, sometimes inland, and other times past three fjords up to the Finnish border. The final decision is left as late as possible to maximize your chance of seeing the majestic lights dancing in the sky.

Hop in the van and meet your group and expert guide. After finding the perfect spot, settle in and wait for the brilliant colors of the Northern Lights to appear.

Your guide will help you adjust your camera so you can take the best photos of them. Enjoy some hot drinks and biscuits while keeping an eye on the sky.

Enjoy an exclusive chase with a maximum group size of 16 guests. Your guide will be happy to answer all your questions and will take high-resolution photos to share with the group after the tour.
