EnjoyTheArctic Minibus Tour with Photos

About this experience

EnjoyTheArctic is a minibus tour for up to 16 people that starts at the Magic Ice Bar on Kaigata 4 at 6:00 pm and runs about six and a half hours. The guide doubles as a professional photographer and gives camera tips, and you get the photos online if you leave your email. A thermal suit, a tripod, snacks and coffee or tea are included.

The listing mentions on-board Wi-Fi for sharing your shots, and guests describe fires and hot drinks at the stop. On some nights the guide stays at one camp spot all night; on others he drives on to dodge clouds. One April 2026 guest wrote that the guide drove deep into Finland on a weak-forecast night and still found the aurora.

If the sky stays dark, there's no refund: EnjoyTheArctic's FAQ says sightings can never be fully guaranteed, so it doesn't refund nights without lights. The tour runs in all weather. Note that boots aren't on the included list, so wear warm winter shoes.

Great trip. George was very engaging. Had a lot of fun. First spot we headed to clouded over so George hunted down a better viewing location.

The guide was very attentive and knowledgable and made everything possible to ensure our comfort. Luckily we were able to see the Northern Lights after a 1 hour drive

Our guide was very friendly and tried his hardest for us to see the Auroras even though the weather wasnt on our side. Thanks to him we still managed to see some Auroras.
