Our guide Per was the most incredible, friendly, and funny guide we could ask for. He constantly cracked jokes with us and made us feel so welcomed on his ship. He provided hot drinks, yummy snacks, and a delicious home cooked fish soup for dinner. He knew everything about the northern lights and even steered our ship in the opposite direction just so we could catch a glimpse. He was also extremely knowledgeable about the town and gave us great recommendations for bars and restaurants. 10/10 would recommend, would not want any other guide!!

A wonderful experience. I didn't think sledding with reindeer would be so much fun, especially under a sky lit up by the Northern Lights. Feeding them was also exciting. The part that fascinated me most was learning about the Sami culture, which I didn't know much about. Truly beautiful and magical.
