    Mads was awesome as a guide, we unfortunately missed the lights on our first outing but Mads was determined to make sure we didn’t miss them completely. He chatted to us each day about the likelihood of the lights for that night and when our chances were high he came straight to our hotel to pick us up and get us a viewing. I would definitely recommend this tour!

    Wonderful tour and host. Mads was kind enough to take us out for multiple nights to ensure we got the best sighting. We greatly enjoyed his recommendations and perspective on Nuuk, and the adventure was the highlight of our tour. This experience is a must.
