Surreal and serene!
An experience absolutely worth it. We were able to see the Aurora in all its glory. Robin was an amazing guide who took us to the perfect spots to experience the Aurora. More so the photographs he clicked were amazing. Also, the hot choc and marshmallows were cherry on the top!
Definitely recommending.

Northern lights tour with Robin
Robin was the best tour guide, he guided us to see the northern lights in the best spots, and made it extremely fun and took care of everyone, would highly recommend if you’re itching to see the aurora and to be around a fire with hot chocolate and marshmallows, me and my girlfriend had the most amazing time😁

Amazing experience, great tour !
We loved our tour! I did the tour with my 7 years old and it was an excellent experience for both of us. The guide is very well experienced, he knows where to take you to great aurora spots, very fun, responsive, he actually managed to include us 30 min before the tour (as we didn’t get the chance to see the auroras the previous day and our flight was the next day). Robin made our dream come true! We enjoyed as well the amount of pictures taken, the marshmallows next to the fire and we got also dropped off at the door of our Airbnb (greatly appreciated since my child was sleeping deeply). Do not hesitate to book your NL tour here !!!

Experience the Aurora with a fun Guide who knows how to find beautiful places.
Great tour! Worth it in terms of time. We drove a minibus to different locations to see the Northern Lights as well as possible.

Great Northern Light Tour
I reached out to Robin for last minute reservation inquiry and he was very prompt to reply and managed to accommodate my last minute request during the busy tourist season.
I very much enjoyed his friendly spirit throughout the tour and his effort to ensure that we all had a great experience chasing the Northern Lights (even at one point attempted to talk to a homeowner who had outdoor lights obstructing our night sky view). Also, his skills at taking pictures of the Northern Lights did not disappoint.
The tour was even more delightfully by the presence of his lovely pet, Burger.
Thank you Robin and Burger for a memorable Northern Lights Tour.

100/10 experience with Robin
I had the most wonderful experience with Robin a few nights ago. He is a fantastic guide, very friendly and knowledgeable, and we managed to find an amazing viewing spot within about 30 minutes of our departure! We were very fortunate with the weather. Robin took an abundance of fantastic photos for each person which he shared with us a few hours later. It was really nice going in a small group too. Later we drove to another viewing point where Robin made a fire and gave us hot chocolate. We especially saw the lights dance here which was just incredible. I highly recommend staying at Robin’s hostel and booking the tour with him. Everything is so easy and efficient. Nothing to fault. Thanks again Robin for helping me tick this off my bucket list!

Great Chase and Experience
Robin is a fantastic guide and very helpful. He really tries his heart out to make sure that you can see the lights and have a great experience. He took us on a proper chase, driving for hours to find a spot with clear skies and good conditions (the week that we went was notoriously bad conditions with very few guide groups seeing any lights) and even waited longer for people to come on the tour so that they could have the best chance of seeing the lights as well. Thanks to him and his knowledge/intuition we did manage to find a location with some lights (probably one of the best of all the guide groups on the day after talking with others who went on other chases).
I would highly recommend him and this tour and when I come back I will make sure to go with him again because he really gives it his all.
Thank you mate.

Upsetting experience
They not only didn't offer any of the things in the advertisement (marshmallows, snowsuits, hot drinks) but they also made us help another van for about 3 hours instead of chasing the Northern Lights. The guides were very friendly, but very little interested in finding the aurora!

Lovely tour with great tour guide
I can highly recommend this tour with Robin. He is very friendly, knowledgeable and he took us to great and remote spots to have this unique experience. He took great pictures and shared with us promptly the next day. It was a lovely experience with hot chocolate and bonfire and amazing Aurora.
I would definitely do it again.
