About this tour

Once-in-a-lifetime experience You kept chasing until you encountered a wonderful aurora! I met them perfectly! The staff members encouraged me so I wouldn't succumb to the cold.

Is the hiring worth it The driver, Bela, and the guide Isaac were great and spared no effort to please the group. The guide knows a lot about the Aurora Borealis and was relentless in his hunt. Furthermore, he took many photos with the greatest willingness. Hot dog and very tasty drinks. I highly recommend
