As all guests were in contact on a Whatsapp group, we were able to start an hour and three quarters ahead of the scheduled time in order to catch the best of the lights. 9 hours of NL hunting in a super comfortable van with lots of success in different locations. Fantastic guide photos available within a couple of hours. Thoroughly recommend this tour with Ivar.”
