Summary:
We saw the most amazing aurora display, largely thanks to the patience and dedication of our guide. He took us out to good, dark location, and was utterly determined that we should see the lights. He'd also brought along hot drinks for everyone, and created a lovely, chatty, friendly atmosphere in the group. We didn't have much luck and time was running out, but on the drive back he kept looking, and finally we saw a magnificent display! Really grateful for all his hard work and skill, and also many explanations and help with camera settings. Everyone got great photos - both their own, and the ones that he took and provided the next day. Fantastic service, and I would thoroughly recommend this company.

Summary:
Went out with maurice. It was storming and raining all day so we thought: this is not going to be it. But we also thought: you have to have confidence in your guide and that confidence turned out to be justified. Despite rain, hail, wet snow and a huge amount of wind, maurice and Christian managed to find beautiful clearings and the northern lights clearly showed themselves. Maurice has taken beautiful pictures of us and is an enthusiastic hunter without losing sight of our safety. It was very cold and we were well looked after by maurice and Christian with hot drinks. It was the highlight of our trip so far. Thanks to our enthusiastic guides, we look back on an unforgettable magical evening. Unfortunately I can't add photos because they are on my phone but I do have them and I'm going to relive them. Thank you so much guys.
