It was great. We were even lucky enough to see the northern lights. The sleigh ride is short, but it got cold quickly, so it was just right. The directions to the meeting point via Headout are wrong. You have to go to the bus parking lot: enter the visitor center and go down the stairs. The food was okay. All in all, it was a great experience. The reindeer and staff are super nice. :)

It's nice but a very long trip two hours and half to reach the point to see the aurora and two hours and half return and all this time no water or any food just when the bus stops at the point

The overall experience was fantastic. Although the bus leader’s English wasn’t completely fluent, it never caused any communication issues. He was dedicated throughout the whole trip—sharing local culture and stories, explaining how to photograph the aurora with a camera, and making sure we didn’t get bored or sleepy during the long drive. We stopped at three different locations. At the largest one, the leader served us hot cocoa and actively searched for signs of the aurora for the group. I was incredibly lucky to witness beautiful, dancing northern lights. The leader also helped take many photos for us—completely free of charge. At the end of the tour, he even dropped me off near my accommodation. Since I’m someone who prefers not to engage in small talk within small group tours, the bus tour format suited me perfectly. Overall, it was a wonderful experience and I highly recommend it!
