Paul took great care of us – providing warm drinks, snacks. He helped everyone with taking professional pictures with his camera (I got some amazing shots on my phone as well!), and his enthusiasm kept spirits high all night. If you’re heading out to hunt the aurora, book a tour with Paul – he’s dedicated, knowledgeable, and goes the extra mile to make sure you see the lights. Highly recommend! 10/10 would do again.

So happy to chase the Northern Lights in Finland again. The Northern Lights reflected on the lake are so beautiful. The weather is good today, and I'm very lucky. The weather is very cold, but this trip chasing the Northern Lights was worth it. Plus, there's a bonfire and food to eat, which is awesome! 👍

We had a very comfortable stay at Scandic Helsinki Aviapolis near Helsinki Airport. The location was ideal for our early flight, and the free shuttle bus to and from the airport made our departure effortless and stress-free. The room was clean, cosy and well suited for a restful night before flying. We especially enjoyed the excellent breakfast buffet with a wide selection, which was perfect before our early start. The staff were friendly and efficient, and check-in/out was smooth. We highly recommend this hotel to anyone travelling through Helsinki Airport — great value and very convenient!

We had a wonderful one-night stay at Aito Igloo Resort and Spa in Rovaniemi while celebrating our anniversary, and the entire experience was truly magnificent. They thoughtfully decorated our room and even surprised us with a small souvenir gift, which was such a lovely and memorable touch. Our package also included two complimentary hours each day at the Finnish sauna and spa, which was an incredible experience—relaxing, authentic, and the perfect way to unwind in the Arctic setting. The breakfast included in our stay was delicious with great variety and quality. Staying here felt like being in a true winter wonderland. The igloo experience, the peaceful snowy landscape, and the warm hospitality created an unforgettable atmosphere. Overall, the staff, the service, and the entire experience were amazing. I would definitely recommend staying at this resort to anyone visiting Rovaniemi and looking for a unique and memorable Arctic getaway.
