Not just about the aurora

Loved that it came complete with overalls and boots so that you can enjoy the lights without freezing to death! We had a really good Aurora experience. Lights were not that strong, but it colors were still vivid, and even the stars were mesmerizing, plus we got great the photos.

A fantastic experience!

What a wonderful experience!! We left with 6 mini vans in search of the Northern Lights. The guide we were assigned was a super nice guide. A very relaxed and sociable young man. Finally in Sweden we got to admire the Northern Lights. What a fantastic and special experience! Special thanks to the team who are doing more than their best to give you an unforgettable evening. Beautiful photos will be sent to you as a valuable reminder. Thank you Gabri, Jiong, Leo, Minqui, Guillermo and Ricardo for your efforts and beautiful pictures.

Amazing & Unforgettable Northern Lights

We joined the Northern Lights Photography Tour with our photographer ‘Deep’ on our final night at Rovaniemi. The Aurora Borealis hunting was the highlight of our holiday. The breathtaking Northern Lights in the Arctic forest was definitely a unique & worthwhile experience. Deep was a very nice & patience guide and he took several photos for my family. He even took the trouble to take photos for my wife & I even after he has already kept his camera for good (almost the end of the tour). Thanks you ‘Deep’ for the wonderful experience!!

Tourist trap

Better avoid. If your tour operator or travel agent books you an excursion with Nordic Unique Travels, have them replace it. Classic “tourist trap” operator. No local management or staff (mainly Italian, Spanish, and Asian guys), no empathy or explanations about the excursion, and total disorganization (they got our pickup time wrong and we had to wait in the office for almost two hours without being able to use the bathroom). We took the “Northern Light Photo Tour” excursion and felt like we were being treated like cattle to be transported and nothing more. They loaded us onto a bus, took us to a place an hour away, and then brought us back after having a barbecue in a teepee tent. No search for the aurora, just a round trip to predefined locations. I would say very disappointing.

Rewarding Night

A stunning night chasing the northern lights did not disappoint with a full brilliant show which our guide put us in a fantastic spot to observe. The hot berry tea really helped with the cold and learning more about what and why the northern lights are We had a full week in Lapland arranged by Nordic Unique Travel. All their pick up and tour arrangments were on time and arranged for a family (my parents and our 5 year old son) they even provided thr booster seat in the vans.
