Overview

Join us on the search for the elusive Northern Lights. You will get picked up from your lodging to join your friendly David The Guide team member and begin the search. We are always monitoring the conditions and will only operate if the chances are good. As we search for the Northern Lights we will serve hot chocolate and yummy biscuits. If and when we find the lights we will stop to observe the dancing sky and take your picture. You will get the picture sent to you after the tour.
David the Guide started out as one guide wanting to share and give more. With growing demand, the David the Guide team has grown and our team of adventure loving guides will be with you on your tour with us. This is not a single man operation, but a family of guides who believe in the vision David has for the industry.
