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).

Our guide is very friendly, patient, and supportive. Even if you are the first time skiing, he is always willing to teach and help. We had a very wonderful experience.

Big thanks to the guide Gabor for all the help today. Skiing is really physically demanding and definitely a sweaty activity. As a first-time skier, I learned a lot and fell many times, but it was a truly unique and memorable experience :)

Last night, we joined this tour, and our guides Jack and Judith took such wonderful care of our family of four (including two elderly parents over 70)! Jack explained the scientific principles in great detail during the campfire barbecue, while we enjoyed the food, and listened to his stories, the atmosphere was so warm and cozy. What impressed us the most was Jack’s fluency in Mandarin, English, and Cantonese. My parents are Hakka speakers, and he even spoke Hakka with them! He immediately chatted with my parents in our hometown dialect, which made them instantly felt so close and comfortable. Jack also patiently taught us how to photograph the aurora with our phones. Judith also worked hard in the freezing cold to help us take photos. Both Jack and Judith were professional, humorous, attentive, and always put safety and comfort first, making sure the elderly didn’t get too cold or tired.Highly recommended for anyone wanting a memorable aurora adventure with family.

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! 👍
