A great experience with our guide Pierre and his driver! It was a long hunt but we were successful on the second stop of the night. On the way back the guide had a feeling so we stopped a third time and were rewarded with a spectacular view.
We had an amazing time. Our guide was very cool and informative, and also played guitar. We found a spot for the northern lights very quickly and were overwhelmed by the beauty of it. My partner and I play guitar and sing, and we played a song for the tour bus on the guide's guitar. 5/5 experience!!!
We were very lucky to experience the light. The whole experience was amazing, the guide Jessica was very good and the weather was kind to us.
The price of this bus ride, great host and hot chocolate were worth it. I was lucky to be there at the right time for the Northern Lights. I was impressed with the bus driver and the driving. Hannis our host spoke good English and was full of jokes. He explained how to take beautiful photos. Very timely advice. He will also take photos for you. We were lucky that night with high activity forecast. The green swirls were the entire length of the sky above us. They were bright. I just stood there staring up and enjoying the lights and not taking photos. Enjoying the sensual moment. You can buy better photos online. Expect to be out late. We were picked up at 8:30pm and dropped off just after midnight. The wind was about 7mps and the temperature was about 2-4C.
Ritchie our guide was great fun and was great at finding opportunities to see the lights. He allowed us to stop at some unexpected places to see the lights. We can't recommend this tour enough, and especially guide Ritchie! Thank you so much!!
