They tell you up front that there is no guarantee for seeing the lights so the guide has to be good enough to make your trip worthwhile. Gaia is that kind of guide. Full of interesting information about the area, the Sami people and culture, listening to her was a real treat. So, the guide stands alone as worthwhile, but in our case we DID see the lights and plenty of them! Clear skies and magical night landscapes made this trip “other-worldly”. Along with the other passengers, we all were hunting for the lights and Gaia pulled over every time someone spotted something. The night walk in the Abisko national park with hot drink and cake was lovely. The van was new, comfortable and warm. We were out for over four hours.
