”I think this is the only place that offers an aurora tour that is never canceled. If you only have a few days to stay and absolutely want to see the northern lights, even if the weather is bad, I highly recommend this tour! Even though it's expensive, it's totally worth it! Our guide was an expert in aurora hunting and took us on a four-hour one-way trip to Sweden, where we successfully saw the aurora. It will be a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life!”

*****
Timo is the best! A true aurora hunter – for him, it’s much more than a job… he does it with incredible passion, dedication and enjoyment. He’s willing to do anything! And even though our night was one of the worst, he literally chased the aurora for almost 400 km. In the end, it was worth it… a wonderful dance under a starry sky that we will remember for the rest of our lives. Thank you, Timo, and we would recommend to anyone to embark on an adventurous journey like ours with him!

”An excellent experience. Timo drove for hours until we found a spot with no clouds or fog, where we were able to enjoy a spectacular aurora borealis. His tenacity, experience, and kindness were essential for witnessing such a magnificent sight. Furthermore, during our travels, we had very interesting conversations about the aurora borealis, the wildlife, and daily life in Finland. I highly recommend this experience with Timo.”

*****
Timo is a professional aurora hunter. He has strong determination to look for clear sky - he drove us 3-4 hours at first to look for a clear sky. Although we couldn’t manage to see aurora that night, his dedication is highly appreciated. Other aurora agent might just drop you off at cloudy locations and tell you this is the best spot based on the app already but Timo only asks you to try hunting under a clear sky. He also has professional photography skills and camera.
