Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

I highly recommend the Wildlife and Nature Photo Tour! Anette was so helpful with photography advice; other highlights were seeing moose and having fika by the fire at a scenic spot by the river.

We had such a lovely experience photographing the Northern Lights with Anette. We did get very fortunate to have lights that everyone said were some of the best of the season, and I have to give Anette credit for finding a great place to spot them! Probably the most wonderful and memorable experience of the night was when Anette told us a Sami story around the fire after we finished taking pictures.

What a complete joy! The guide was extremely friendly and catered to different levels of familiarity with photography. Being new, he showed me various tips and tricks to keep you occupied when the lights weren't visible. Even though the weather was supposed to be cloudy, he managed to find us a completely clear sky!

Thanks to Scandinavian Sami Photoadventures, and specially to our guide, Anette, I have enjoyed an experience that will stay with me forever.
It was a very genuine and authentic experience, from start to end, and I enjoyed every minute. Of all the moments, the one that I would highlight was when we had a break for a coffee by the fire. I loved to learn and hear about the Sámi people from Anette.
On top of that, the skies were clear the night of our tour, so we managed to see the Northern Lights for hours, and took lots and great pictures. I believe that this is by far the choice if you want to enjoy the Northern Lights

We had a fantastic experience with Ylva. She met us in town (and was ready and waiting when we arrived) and took us to Camp Ripan to go through how to use the cameras and get any warm equipment we needed (eg boots, extra cover).
After that she decided on the best location to drive to and off we went.
When we arrived she helped us set up the cameras and we got some amazing shots of the lights. She was very helpful and offered to assist with cameras and take photos of us with the lights.
We had a wonderful time and would recommend this tour to anyone!

We met our guide Anette at the hotel at 7.30pm. Every tour member received a professional camera and SD cards (if needed - we asked in advance) and she explained the camera settings for night shootings. After being provided with warm clothes, shoes and headlamps we were brought by car and some short walk to a location outside of Kiruna. We started to observe the beautiful clear night sky in an awesome, frozen landscape - this alone is already super cool and exciting. Anette provided a lot of tips and tricks how to get the best out of the camera. Finally we were lucky and could see some northern lights ! The tour closed with warm snacks around a camp fire and after we returned to the hotel close to midnight. Anette is a very amiable, professional and very knowledged guide and photographer ! We are really grateful that we met Anette and highly recommend Scandinavian Photoadventures !

Thank you a lot, we are so happy you had a good time with us and that you got to see the aurora. Normally december is cold and clear weathers here but this december have been a lot of bad weathers so it has been a little bit tricky this year to find a good night sky.

In mid-December we took our 'once-in-a-lifetime' trip to Norway and Sweden to hopefully see the Northern Lights. Unfortunately after an 8 hour excursion in Tromso it was a no go and then we were snowed out in Narvik. At the last minute we booked a tour through the Ice Hotel that was provided by Scandinavian Photoadventures. We lucked out and had a fantastic view of the lights. What was best, however, was that on this tour we were provided with cameras that best captured the lights and provided with instructions by Jove on the use of the cameras. Far better results than on personal camera and cell phone. Jove took us to the best location for the viewing and provided personal attention to each and every member of the tour group. We are so glad that we made this last minute decision.

I'm glad you where able to see the northern lights at our tour. Our camera equipment, which are included in the tour, is a good help for to get the best pictures as possible.
I wish you a Happy New year.

Our guide Jove picked us up at the Ice Hotel together with two others guests and after picking up one more guest from Kiruna we went for the hunt for northern lights. Even though the chances where about 5% (according to a couple of mobile apps) Jove kept the spirit up and drove us far into the Arctic night. We stopped by the road, walk about 10 minutes in the untouched snow and settled down at a nice spot by the lake Torneträsk. He taught us some tips and tricks and made a nice camp fire and tea. I had given up all hopes of seeing northern lights and was just enjoying the beautiful landscape but after an hour or two we saw the northern lights! We ended up staying out far beyond the tour time limit. An unforgettable night! Big thanks to Jove for being so tenacious and finding the lights this impossible night! Very fun guide who obviously has a great experience in photographing northern lights.
I would highly recommend this tour.
PS. We booked this trip via Ice Hotel and it was called Northern lights photography (Norrskensfotografering).

Yes you where out a tricky night, but even if t is cloudy we most of the nights are able to at least find stars around Kiruna. Sometimes we will be a little bit late home, but it is also because we try to find locations with openings in the sky so we get a chance to see the aurora.

Anita at Scandinavian Photoadventures is amazing. She is herself Sami and she really knows her stuff from how the tour is structured, her knowledge, her heritage, her equipment and above all, her cheerful willingness to make it the best experience it can be.
Can’t recommend it highly enough
