This Trip was beautiful. Our Vacation here in Lappland was only 4 nights. To see the Northern Lights (Aurora) we booked this trip. In the night of our Trip the conditions weren’t the best because of many clouds, but our Guides took us to two spots on a beautiful lake and clear sky, so we had a chance to see the Aurora. The Transport was good and on time. We drove in a group of 12 people. The smal bus was comfortable and we got offered coffee and tea. Our trip took us 5 hours.

Matias was an awesome guide who made my dream of seeing the Northern Lights a reality. He was super chill but professional, and you could tell he really cared about us having a great time. We got to see the auroras, and his photos were absolutely next-level. Honestly, couldn’t have asked for a better experience—he totally nailed it!

Magnificient experience. Highly recommended. The Riisitunturi is a natural wonder. Our top view in Finland, despite the temperature at -27. The experience was enhanced by our guide Eneko. He is so friendly and knowledgeable of the area. This experience scored top at all levels.

We did see the northern lights! Angel went out of his way to make us happy and honestly he is the best. I had an amazing time! Definitely recommend

Amazing time. we drove straight to where Kevin thought the Artic lights would be visible and he did not fail. highly recommend
