Prior to booking the tour, I was very apprehensive about it as I have read some bad reviews here. I contacted the company and assured me it was isolated incidents. Very communicative at the beginning. Even offered to change dates if the day was not good for seeing the lights (I have emails to prove this statement) Nearing the dates, we had a chance to speak with some northern lights chasers at Santa Claus Village. He told us that on Tuesday and Friday we have very high chance of seeing the lights. So I emailed the Beyond Arctic and asked if Wednesday 20 March(the day I booked the tour) was a good day? And the operations manager assured us that it was. I checked google weather and and google says that it was cloudy till Thursday, but I’m not the expert here, you are. And true enough it was a cloudy day throughout the tour. We went to 2 spots and both spots nothing. The guide was very professional and was doing her job well. Weather didn’t cooperate, but if google could predict the weather fairly accurately, I wonder why couldn’t you? If it was clear skies and no northern lights I wouldn’t be so disappointed. So basically, regardless of weather, the company sets off for the tour. All in all, the most expensive pork sausage ever in my life, sans Michelin Star restaurants standards.

We had a great night with Beyond Arctic in Rovaniemi. It was really lucky for us to book the tour at the only clear night that week. We waited for the Aurora along a site by the river bank, under the clear sky where you could see the milky way. We built a fire and roasted sausage they provided. We saw the Aurora on our way back to the city from a bridge, it was not strong but still wonderful and amazing, worth the all-night waiting.
The Beyond Arctic provided clothes and boots which were warm enough. We had our camera with us and borrowed a tripod from them(free). The tour lady with us that night was really kind and helpful, she helped us with all the photo shooting troubles. Thanks again for the wonderful night!

I didn’t think we were going to see the lights because of the low kp level on the aurora app. But wow! The whole night it was an amazing show! Kerrtu our guide was beyond helpful. She helped me figure out the settings for my camera and i was able to take many many photos of the lights. She also shared stories about the lights. The sausage that we grilled on the campfire was also yummy. Overall a great night! Thank you Kerrtu!!!
