Seven days, two countries, three aurora nights. Seven days with small-group chases capped at eight, a photographer guide who will set up your camera, and glass cabins in Finland.
In December Tromso gets no sunrise at all for six weeks. The thermal suit is issued on day one for a reason.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Accommodation was a notch better than the price suggested.
Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Good value for what's included.
Too much time on the coach and not enough at the places we'd come for.
Glad you enjoyed it. Hope to see you on another trip.
