It wasn’t looking like we were going to see the northern lights because of cloud but luckily (miracle!) we got to see them a few times that night! The guides even kindly offered to take us out the next night on half price to make up for the fact the lights weren’t as clear. The food was amazing and the blueberry tea was really comforting. 10/10 experience would recommend to anyone”
