Fantastic 5.0
The icebreaker experience was truly the most unforgettable part of our entire Nordic trip. As the ship began to move forward, directly colliding with the thick sea ice, the low crunching sound and the slight vibration of the entire vessel gave a visceral sense of 'humans traversing a polar environment,' rather than simply sightseeing.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Highly recommend Paul's Northern Lights tour! Before we set off, the weather forecast wasn't ideal, so we had mentally prepared ourselves for the possibility of not seeing the Northern Lights. To our surprise, Paul was incredibly dedicated from the start of the tour, determined to help us see them. Throughout the journey, he constantly monitored the weather, cloud cover, and aurora activity, searching for the best viewing spots. With his highly professional experience, he continuously adjusted our direction, leading us to the places with the highest chance of seeing the Northern Lights. When we finally succeeded in seeing the Northern Lights, it was an incredibly moving moment! ✨ We had thought we might be disappointed, but thanks to Paul's hard work and expert judgment, we achieved the most anticipated goal of our trip on our very first day in Lapland! Additionally, the aurora photos Paul took were absolutely beautiful. Not only did we create lasting memories in the moment, but we also have many wonderful photos to take home and cherish. We are truly grateful for Paul's dedication and effort throughout the entire night, which made it a truly unforgettable evening for us. This was a fantastic Northern Lights experience, and I highly recommend everyone to go aurora hunting with Paul! 💚✨

The tour guide couple was very kind. The day before, they even reminded us that the weather forecast was not good and we might not see the Northern Lights, asking if we wanted to cancel. However, we decided to try our luck and go anyway, so we didn't cancel the trip. They picked us up around 10:30 PM. We didn't see the Northern Lights at the first lake, but we were very lucky to see them at the second lake! There was also a small cabin next to the second lake, where the tour guide couple prepared hot blueberry juice, sausages, small bread, and marshmallows. I highly recommend everyone join their tour!

It was an amazing tour. The weather looked quite severe and I thought we wouldn't be able to see anything, but our guide Manuel didn't give up and changed locations multiple times. Thanks to that, we were able to see the aurora in the end. I am very satisfied that I was even able to take pictures of the aurora with my smartphone.

**🌟 Absolutely magical Northern Lights hunting tour in Rovaniemi – highly recommended!** We had an incredible time on this Northern Lights tour last night and honestly can’t stop smiling about it. The guides were fantastic – super enthusiastic, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about what they do. They guided us perfectly to the best spots for viewing the aurora, helped us capture beautiful family photos (which turned out amazing!), and made the whole evening feel special and relaxed. Thanks to the clear skies, we were treated to some really strong and active Northern Lights displays. It was breathtaking! What really stood out was how well they took care of us as a family with a baby. They arranged convenient hotel pickup and drop-off, made sure we were comfortable the entire time, and went out of their way to help with everything. It made the whole experience stress-free and truly family-friendly.

Ilari is our excellent, friendly and patient guide. He is very familiar with the animals in Ranua zoo. He is also very willing to share lives and history of Finland, letting us know more the life of Finnish! We highly recommend this trip organised by Lake Hit Safaris (email is info@lakehutsafaris.com).
