We did not see the Northern Lights on this outing due to overcast sky. Based on the experience of the operator and the tour guide, I suspect they/he had a good idea on not seeing the Northern Lights, so the trip ended-up being a cash-grab. At the pickup point, we should have been warned and given an option to skip and a refund.

I can't really attest to how good their tours are but I did reach out to Boreale on Fat biking suggestions and rather than just encouraging us to buy into their tours, Marsha suggested (as first time fat bikers) a DIY rent a bike and hit up some local trails that she mentioned, which I thought was pretty honest from her. So thumbs up.
