“amazing value for a small group tour in a small mini bus. Roberto was very knowledgable on predicting the northern night. It was very cloudy night and we hunted many places before Roberto using experience predicted where the next opening in the sky and we saw the northern light for one hour. At one point we thought we may not see it due to the heavy clouds. Roberto persisted and we were rewarded. Highly recommend. Thanks very much”

It was a 7 hour trip and Samuel was friendly, professional and catered to our every need. The night ended with and explosion of dancing lights overhead. It was a spiritual experience for us. I have waited a lifetime for this experience and so thankful we were able to see them! Would love to bring my kids and grandkids to experience the lights. I can’t recommend Greenlander Tours highly enough! Thanks to Markus for setting…”
