We spent 4 days 3 nights chasing Northern lights: 2 nights hunting and 1 night viewing at the Aurora village. We called the local operator to find out the difference between hunting and viewing, and the choice of 2 night's hunting was perfect: we saw the lights on both nights. The Aurora village viewing was a rip off. We sat in the heated teepee from 10 pm to 12:30am, doing nothing, seeing nothing. Some people chose 3 nights viewing, saw nothing at all. Artic Tour guides were friendly and knowledgeable. Very helpful.
I have submitted a review in response to your request for the above tour on September 19, 2015 but have not seen it published. I would appreciate knowing why my review is rejected. Ivy Lee
