Aurora Borealis sneeuwschoenavontuur met kleine groep vanuit Rovaniemi

It was a lovely adventure, charming winter wonderland. No lights activity so this a bit disappointing . The guide Camille was great, helpful and knowledgeable

We booked the aurora hunting + snowshoeing activity with Nordic Odyssey, and had a wonderful experience. They outfitted us with overalls and boots, and when they heard that we didn't have proper gloves, they tried their best to find suitable ones even though they weren't required to provide them. Aurora, our aptly named guide, was patient even as we fumbled with the snowshoes. She also pointed out the different foliage in the forest at night, as well as tracks made in the snow by various animals -- all very interesting to city folks like us! She was knowledgeable about all things related to the northern lights, sharing with us how northern lights are formed and in what conditions we can see them. When she saw that we were freezing while waiting around to see the lights from the swamp, she brought us for another quick walk, timing our return to the swamp perfectly with the northern lights appearing in the sky. Our activity ended an hour behind time because Aurora really wanted us to see the northern lights -- we could really see her passion for the northern lights. After the activity, Nordic Odyssey even shared photos of the northern lights from that night. We thoroughly enjoyed ourselves! On top of the impeccable service, the warmth that the Nordic Odyssey folks showed us really made us feel welcome, and made the night memorable. If we are ever visiting Rovaniemi again, we will definitely engage Nordic Odyssey for other activities.

Na een stipte pick-up ontvingen we onze uitrusting ter plaatse om aan de sneeuwschoenwandeling te beginnen. Onderweg legde onze gids de details van de tour uit en zei dat de avond niet slecht was voor het zien van de lichten. Terwijl we de eerste paar meter van de wandeling aflegden, bleek dat onze gids het helemaal mis had, want de avond was perfect om de lichten te zien. We werden dan ook beloond met een prachtig schouwspel van het noorderlicht, wat de hele tour tot een prachtige ervaring maakte. Tot onze verbazing had onze gids ook een camera en statief bij zich, waar ze tijdens de tour veelvuldig gebruik van maakte. De foto's zijn zonder extra kosten aan ons verstrekt en zijn beslist beter dan de foto's die we zelf hebben gemaakt.
