An incredible 5-day trip! We saw the Northern Lights on two different nights. The guide was super helpful with photo settings and the hot cocoa at the lodge kept us warm.

The mobile aurora chasing on Day 3 was the highlight. The guide tracked the weather perfectly to find clear skies. Santa Claus House was also super fun!
