Booked last minute and SO glad I did. Toni picked us up from our hotel, super easy. We had a blast chatting around the fire while waiting for the sky to do its thing. When the lights showed up, everyone was just silent and staring—goosebumps!

Went with my partner and we lucked out with the weather—clear skies most of the night. Our guide, Meda, was super enthusiastic and kept us laughing. The van was a bit cramped tbh but warm, and the soup they served was delish. Saw the lights after about two hours of chasing, not as bright as I’d hoped but still MAGICAL. Bring wool socks, trust me.
