Awesome experience w amazing guide

Yasmine_D, Apr 2025

Sigi was an amazing guide & would recommend to everyone. There were only 2 of us so we ended up with a private tour & very happy it wasn't cancelled. Sigi took a scenic route to get the most out of the tour. We were lucky w the lights & he made multiple stops for us to get out & enjoy them. He also took some amazing photos which he shared with us after. Can't recommend this tour enough

Northern lights

andrew_p, Feb 2025

Forest Lagoon was nice. Went in the evening after it got dark and the view across the fjord was very pretty. We had enough time to really relax and enjoy it. Afterwards we went on the hunt for the northern lights and Siggi, our guide, tried a few spots and soon found a perfect place for us to see them. All of a sudden a spectacular show was there for us to enjoy. Thanks Siggi, you gave us a memorable night.
