I really liked this tour and would recommend it. The guide provided cameras. Gave us a lesson on how to photograph the lights and we went about 40 minutes out for a spot to see them. Because of the cloud coverage the lights were very slight to the naked eye but the camera could capture them beautifully. The tour provides everything but the Sd card which you can bring or buy off the guide for around $25 usd.

So nice that you had a good experience of the northern lights despite the challenges of the weather

What an unforgettable experience! Our guide, Ilya, was incredibly sweet and made the night extra special. Before heading out, she gave us a thorough training session on the Canon cameras they provided, which worked perfectly with the SD cards we brought to capture our own photos.
While we waited for the Northern Lights, we enjoyed a traditional Swedish Fika—a lovely break with coffee and treats that added a personal touch to the tour.
The night itself was nothing short of magical. We were fortunate enough to witness 2 to 3 hours of the Aurora Borealis, and the dancing lights were simply breathtaking. The vibrant colors in the sky were unlike anything we've ever seen—truly otherworldly.
Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a well-organized, personal, and awe-inspiring experience under the Northern Lights!

It’s an interesting experience for those who want to learn how to take photos with the auroras, but they should know that sometimes it takes time, so you have to try to go before the auroras are in the sky or one of the group learns fast and takes the photos to everyone so they don’t miss having their photo with the auroras.

Thank you so much for sharing your experience! We’re glad you found the activity interesting and appreciated the opportunity to learn how to take photos with the auroras. You’re absolutely right that capturing these moments can take some time, and arriving early definitely helps. We also do our best to guide the group so everyone gets their photo without missing the auroras. We appreciate your feedback.

カメラの設定方法や現地でのピントの合わせ方などすごく親切に教えてくれて、きれいにオーロラの写真を撮ることが出来てとても満足でした。防寒具など必要に応じて貸してくれまさが撮影場所はとても寒いのでカイロなど自分なりの寒さ対策は必要だと思います。
