Going to sea to fish, you don’t need to catch emperor crabs yourself. After you come back, they will take pictures and introduce the source. The meat is very delicious. The captain will also add crab legs to you.

Reviews: Aurora Tour
Guest User2025-10-12
I booked with Amazing Arctic Tours for 2 primary reasons: 1) it offered small group tour in minivan, which is able to reach out of the way places that large tour buses cannot, thus improving the likelihood of seeing the Aurora. 2) it was a better value than other small group tours. Many others were $300-$600/person, likely because they include a driver and guide that provide a lot of commentary, and a fancier minivan.
We were happy with fewer frills - older Ford mini-van with broken armrest and front seat that was converted into 2 very tiny seats. And we were happy with our driver/guide, Monsoor.
Significant cloud cover the night of our tour meant we would have to drive 2-3 hours, into Finland. Monsoor was not daunted and 1-2 hours into trip he spotted the Aurora. We were underwhelmed as we could only see what looked like rows of clouds to the naked eye but photos revealed the colors of the Aurora.
Four hours into trip, we accepted that we would not cross the Aurora off our bucket list since we had not viewed its beautiful colors with the naked eye but we were wrong. Thanks to Monsoor, who kept driving into Finland, down sparse roads, we found the beautiful Aurora. Aside from a couple campers, we were the only people there, next to a lake, with the Aurora dancing all around! We were able to cross the Aurora off our bucket list.
Monsoor patiently took many photos of us with the Aurora dancing in the background so we can continue to look back on this amazing experience. Many thanks Monsoor.
