Good not great experience
John_W
, Mar 2022
Went last week with Maiju. We were very fortunate to see a grand display of the NL’s. The disappointment came with a couple of issues. The key to a great picture was in the setup of my Nikon D3500 camera. I did do some previous research for camera setup. This tour was chosen for its photographic insight.Although Maiju gave a small effort in helping us set up it was while we were in the field under darkness with a headlamp. Not ideal conditions. If we could of received a tutorial BEFORE the excursion, that would of been much more helpful. Luckily, I also had a newer version iPhone which allowed me to get some great photos. Secondly, the pictures that were provided which included us in the fore ground were almost a waste as there wasn’t much activity going on at the time. Timing was way off…should of been repeated..This wasn’t a cheap trip and I expected better quality. If not for the lights Mother Nature provided I would have been very disappointed.
Response from Host , Mar 2022
Dear John, Thank you very much for your good review! And also thank you for pointing out these few things you felt would need some improvement! Every nights is a different kind of adventure when talking about the Northern Lights. Some of the nights we have more time to go through camera settings already on first stop or even before and some nights we might need to go quicker to final location and ensure we will catch the Aurora show. This is something that is very difficult to control as we talk about natural phenomenon and whole night needs to be planned according to weather and aurora forecast. Your idea of workshop before the trip is very good and we have also been thinking the best way to include it already before the trip!
Same thing with photography part, as there are 8 people in the group and they have own cameras and phones, our priority is to teach everyone basics of night-time photography, so they are able to capture the pictures with their own equipment. After this, it is time to concentrate on individual photos taken by the guide. For the fact what size of the Northern Lights there are in the sky at the time you are coming to individual photo we can’t really control. Best way is to ask our guide to take the portrait photo of you when you see the activity getting higher and this way to ensure that you get exactly the photo you are looking for. Because of many responsibilities during the tour this also helps our guide a lot! 😊
Thank you for pointing these good improvements out, we will definitely consider these more carefully in the future!
I wish you all the best and welcome again to chase Northern Lights with us! 😊

We were scheduled to take the tour but the weather forecast was against us. Re scheduled to next night and again the weather did not help. But the company was responsible enough to tell us about it!! Although we did not get to take the tour, the honesty and responsible manner the company managed it, I would definitely recommend it !!
I enjoyed this trip although we...

Aspettative diverse. Abbiamo fatto questo tour sperando nell’aurora boreale. Tutto nuvoloso. Avevo mandato un email alcuni giorni prima chiedendo appunto delle condizioni meteo, e mi era stato detto che verso il lato occidentale della Finlandia non ci sarebbero stati problemi. Invece siamo stati fino alle 11 di sera in un posto tutto nuvoloso, montando attrezzatura fotografica inutilmente. Ultimo step ai confini della Svezia. Giusto 15 minuti, aurora boreale ormai svanita. siamo andati via. Nel complesso non reputo il tour operator un’azienda seria. Ho fatto altri tour in Lapponia e le società mi annullavano il tour se le previsioni non erano a favore. Anche un ora prima di iniziare il tour. Non lo rifarei mai piu. 250€ in coppia, buttati. Consiglio di valutare di osservare l’Aurora Boreale piu su verso Ivalo/Inari.
Suerte y buenas predicciones

Nuestro Guía Markus, de Beyond Artic, aunque sólo hablaba inglés, nos ayudó a encontrar la Aurora, en un día con buenas predicciones pero nublado. Encontró un área cerca de Suecia ya, dónde desaparecieron las nubes y pudimos ver una Aurora verde.A cada 2 personas nos prepararon una mochila con 2 termos con zumo de bayas o arándanos, 2 pinchos para comer salchichas a hacer a la brasa al aire libre y con unos aislantes para sentarse encima que te protegían del suelo nevado.Además nos dejaron buenos trípodes y un mono de ropa que se llevaba encima de tu ropa, que aislaba del frío muy bien. Otra cosa eran las manos, que al tener que apretar botones en la cámara de fotos, tenías que quitarte los guantes.Incluso prestaron a todos linternas de cabeza para ir andando al bajar de los autos para buscar sitio donde poner tu cámara.También nos hizo fotos a los participantes con la Aurora de fondo (pendiente de recibir la foto que me hizo, por mail).Muy recomendable esta actividad con fotógrafo/a.
