We were very lucky as our group consisted of us and one other couple. Our guide Marion was excellent and we were able to go off on one of the tracks. We were lucky to have a clear night and were able to see the lights and choose when to stop and watch.

Perfect experience all round! We were lucky enough to have amazing conditions to view the Northern lights during our trip and Vicky was a brilliant guide. We have some wonderful memories and photos to look back on. Would highly recommend.
