Ian really made sure I got the full experience on my trip. Making stops for photo opportunities, safe driving and conversation. Traveling solo is sometime a bit nerve racking, but he made the trip enjoyable. We departed at 6pm for the opportunities to spot Auroras. Unfortunately they aren't predictable and we didn't get to see them. I have on other trips, so for me it was the journey to the Arctic. Great trip!!
Some booking things I discovered. Pick up location only let's you select a hotel. If you stay somewhere other than hotel, that's a but tricky.
Also departure times, depending on time of your trip (April for me) will determine time to depart and find Auroras if they are out. Ian said the site doesn't allow for after midnight return, so 11:30pm is what my ticket said, which is different from description of 10-12 hrs. I was out 6pm to 4am.
Just some tips I came across.
Enjoy your Arctic Circle experience.
