The tour of Ice Hotel and the village of Jukkasjarvi with Annetta was fabulous, she shared her Sami culture and history with us, whilst on the tour to the Sami Museum and church. Highly recommend the tour to get insight of Sami culture, history and way of life, so interesting. The Ice Hotel was an amazing to see. Thank you, for a wonderful tour.
We also did another tour of northern light photo tour with Ylva, which was also fabulous. Ylva turned up in swedish custom dress, very welcoming, gave us a lesson on using the camera and also our mobile phone. Went out to remote spot, we had the most awesome experience, the Aurora Borealis was spectacular, so many colours, green red, blue and purple. Thanks for the wonderful experience, I will treasure this forever.

Excellent night.

Ylva brought us to an awesome place and the magical happened ! The show was magnificent with red colored auroras. Best I have ever seen.

Ylva help us with her great photography skills. The group was so happy to learn how to take photos of northern lights.  We also had a camp fire which was welcome in this cold night.  I Feel so lucky to have been part of this tour.

We had an incredible experience learning the ropes of wildlife photography and exploring nature with Ylva as our guide last November. It was amazing to watch Ylva’s relationship with the local birds and watching feed time whilst also learning about the Sami culture. I loved the convenience of having everything arranged for us including the transport, camera, snacks and a hot drink. Highly recommend to anyone visiting!

This tour was unforgettable! Our guide, a true Sami, shared fascinating stories about her culture and traditions, adding so much depth to the experience. The dinner was delicious, and her expertise led us to breathtaking views of the Northern Lights. Highly recommended!

We joined Ylva for the Abisko hike, and Anette and Levi for the Northern Lights tour. Both were wonderful experiences. In particular the photo tour was excellent as we got the chance to capture the lights with the provided camera.

We had a great day with Erika, she did an awesome job at answering our questions while we had great traditional food at the Abisko Touriststation. We took great pictures of the northern lights. Thank you very much for your time and the experience 🙂

We did the nothern lights photography tour. While it was windy and a little cloudy, our guide found us a nice open place where we had a some openings in the sky. While not ideal conditions, we managed to spot some nothern light in the end. While waiting, our guide entertained with a camp fire, "fika" and Sami stories about the nothern lights. The tour was a great experience. Definitely recommend getting the photography tour, as the camera captures it better than your own eyes

Ylva and Peter were nothing short of extraordinary as our guides on a once-in-a-lifetime journey to explore the rich Sami culture and experience the enchanting Aurora in and near Abisko.

Their profound understanding of the Sami culture was evident in every interaction. Ylva's narratives painted a vivid picture of Sami traditions, history, and their way of life, leaving us with a deep appreciation for this remarkable culture.

The true highlight of our adventure was undoubtedly the Aurora hunting. Ylva and Peter took us to their meticulously chosen locations, making it feel like they had an intimate connection with the Northern Lights. We were treated to surreal displays of the Aurora Borealis that left us in sheer wonder.

Yet, it wasn't just their knowledge that impressed us. Ylva and Peter's warmth and hospitality made the journey all the more delightful. From the exquisite Sami cuisine they introduced us to, to the cozy accommodations, every detail was thoughtfully arranged, creating an atmosphere that made us feel like part of their extended family.

Our gratitude to Ylva and Peter knows no bounds. This experience was an adventure of a lifetime, deepening our understanding of the Sami culture and gifting us with memories that will forever be etched in our hearts. If you seek an authentic and magical Arctic experience, we wholeheartedly endorse Ylva and Peter as your guides.
