We had a great time! We explored various places around Kiruna and enjoyed the beautiful night sky. Luckily, we were able to capture the Aurora moving like a snake, so it was a very satisfying night! We went hunting for the Aurora in a small group, and Patrick told us various stories to keep us entertained. He told us about the scientific reasons for the Aurora and various myths related to the Aurora. Also, the campfire that Patrick prepared was warm, and the lingo juice and carrot cake were really delicious! Even though we exceeded the scheduled tour time, Patrick stopped at various places to see the Aurora for our once-in-a-lifetime experience. It was a meaningful time. If anyone comes to Kiruna, I would recommend Patrick's guide without hesitation.

We couldn't hike in the canyon because of the bad weather but Lili was fantastic. Despite the snowstorm she managed to take us to three different locations where we could see the aurora. She offered us the typical carrot cake accompanied by hot blueberry juice. It was a beautiful experience thanks to Lili who with an expert manner reassured us and helped us understand the unpredictability of the weather helping us to realize our dream.

Highly recommend this tour! Patrick was an amazing guide—his passion and enthusiasm made the experience unforgettable. The van was super comfy and cozy, and we had a blast exploring beautiful spots around the city and beyond. We got to see stunning auroras, enjoy delicious warm fika, and capture incredible photos. My mom, sister, and I had an amazing time—don’t miss it!

This was my one of the most impressive moment. Patrick was the best guide. He has sense of humor and full of energy. Even though we unexpectedly met the snow storm, he finally brought us to see the north light. He also took photograph for us and his carrot cake was so good. I completely recommended this four-hour tour. Worth all the money you spend.

The guide was great. I appreciated his efforts to find the Aurora. And the lingonberry juice was the best.
