It was such a fun experience to be chasing the northern lights. Albeit, our group did not get to see the northern lights that cold February night, but our guide, Geom (hope I spelled his name correctly) was super gracious to teach us some Arctic survival skills and light painting activity. Highly recommended. I might do it again when I get the chance to go back to Rovaniemi. PS. Sorry for the super late review. *^_^*

I would say it was so incredible gooooood! Our guide Santi is a so lovely, humorous and kind person! And he also has professional experience, keeping driving, looking at the situation of the weather and sky all the time, stopping whenever there is northern lights in the sky, finally helping us to hunt the Aurora successfully! With the description of stopping at up to 3 places, he actually took us to 6 places! It is a once-in-a-life-time experience! And with small groups and professional cameras, it is too much better than the bigger groups who just stop at a place, and wait there, stare at the sky and take pictures with their own phones. I would highly recommend this program to everyone! And also many many thanks to our most lovely guide [Santi]! 😍🥰😘 It was an lovely/wonderful/superb/amazing/incredible/unforgettable night!!😝
