    Magical experience

    This was an awesome tour! Bert was an amazing tour guide and Kamil was an excellent driver, especially in the volatile weather of snow and rain. Bert was extremely knowledgeable about anything and everything. If you asked him a question, he’d be able to answer it with flying colors. The weather was tough, but Bert and Kamil found a way to get us to a clear spot to see the northern lights! Bert was able to take some beautiful and artistic photos, capturing amazing moments. We’d highly recommend this tour to friends and family.

    March 2023 Aurora Hunt

    Thank you for the memories!!! Max and Woitek did an amazing job at keeping the group energized, positive and warm throughout the long and sometimes cold aurora hunt adventure. Really liked the level of knowledge and communication through the night. Certainly exceeded any expectations I had for the tour and would definitely recommend using this group for a future adventure. Thank you so much for driving us all the way into Finland, for hosting an unforgettable adventure, and for bringing everyone one back safely.

    Northern lights tour

    Great tour with Max - he was very prepared and passionate. The minibus was the perfect size and the suits and boots kept us warm. Max and Voitek adapted to the changing weather conditions so that we were able to see the lights!

    Bucket List Item *Check*

    Our tour guides, Max and Marcin, we’re absolutely amazing! We saw the Northern Lights dance and light up the sky bc of their expertise and commitment to the job! You can tell that they both love what they do and they did everything to make us two Floridians feel at home and comfortable in sub-zero (Fahrenheit 😂) temperatures with a fire and some Reindeer sausages. Plus, Max was an amazing photographer and captured absolutely stunning images (which he shared with us at no charge) to help us remember such an amazing night.

    Best night ever!

    My experience with them was amazing! Max was very knowledgeable and took us to a place only 2 hours away where we saw the most incredible lights. My friend and I got there late and didn’t have time to drop off our luggage at our hotel so they brought it with us in the van so we didn’t have to miss the trip!

    Unforgettable, first class experience

    We are so glad that we picked this tour of the many providers available! Max was amazing as a guide - his photography knowledge and geological knowledge really enriched the tour and made it unforgettable. Michael also did a great job navigating the icy conditions and making sure the whole experience ran smoothly. Together they ran a fantastic tour and we felt completely looked after and they helped us to capture unbelievable photos of the lights. The food, bonfire and thermal suits were also really great. Thanks so much for a wonderful experience, guys.
