The holiday met or exceeded our expectations on all levels. However a small caveat - we have done this sort of holiday before so knew what to expect. I am going to give it 5 stars but that does not mean 5 star luxury!! (more)Allison Bucknell
Seeing the Northern Lights, husky sledging, snowshoeing were the most memorable parts of the holiday. (more)Mary Lewis
Difficult to go for one thing as it was all very memorable and exciting... If pushed I would say that one of the most memorable single events was being in the forest with Petri and his reindeer. (more)Jane Sargant
From
£965

The dog sledding was the most memorable. (more)James Harrison
The glass igloo and the Aurora restaurant was the highlight of the trip. We got to enjoy a few hours of clear night sky and a full moon before the clouds came over, and whilst we didn't get to see the northern lights, it was still fantastic. (more)Jodie Potts
The food, northern lights and the moose sightings, also the friendly and most hosptialable reception from all the staff. And oh the accommodation, so warm, clean and stylish with amazing views.

We loved the location and scenery. Fantastic and looking to go again next year. (more)Lorraine Aspell
The weather and beautiful scenery. Very helpful and friendly local people. A great place for a short stay. A little more choice of food would be good in the hotel but generally all round very good. Excellent staff! (more)Simon Gooding

Excellent - we were so sad to have to come home! (more)Sarah Williams
The reindeer trip, the snow shoe walks and the cross-country skiing on the beautiful frozen lake were all highlights, as was the pristine snow in such an unspoilt location.

The whole holiday was simply amazing but the Husky safari was my very favourite... Fantastic! (more)Pauline Wright
From
£1,849

Amazing. I would recommend it to anyone keen to get away from it all and be outdoors. More snow than you will ever have seen and you won’t get cold - 4 layers of clothes 4 pairs of socks and gloves and two hats toasty warm (more)Alison Rayner
Excellent range of activities, and good value when you look at what was included. The local guides were excellent. Would give more than 5 stars if allowed. (more)Adam Choonara
The husky dog and the snow-mobile trips were the most exciting... Fantastic. Would recommend it to anyone who wants a bit of a winter adventure. (more)Ian Wilkes

The dog sledding was fantastic fun with a back drop of stunning scenery. The most memorable event was the incredible Northern Light display we were lucky enough to see on our last evening. Over an hour of swirling, dancing pink and green lights was breath taking. Truly unforgettable. (more)Linda Reed
Each of the five days was memorable in its own way. The evening walk from Mefjord Brygge up to the hut for the Northern Lights safari was special as the lights were particularly impressive that evening. Equally driving huskies through the beautiful winterwonderland was also hard to beat. We also loved the boat trip around the fjord, although there are no whales, as the herrings have moved elsewhere. (more)Graham Howe
Very good....Swishing through the forest in a blizzard with head torches in the dark on the back of a speeding dog sled. (more)Anne Blagden

The most memorable part of the holiday was seeing the northern lights. (more)Susan Benson

A knock on the door of our Camp Tamok cabin at 3am. Our guide had spotted Northern Lights activity, so we got out of bed, pulled on our cold weather gear
and stumbled out into the snow. Multi-coloured, dancing, amazing skies right above us. (more)Dickie Connell
The most memorable moment was being caught in blizzard, the dogs were amazing! Surpassed expectations the experience was amazing, food was utterly fantastic the people were amazing. We're planning to do another. (more)Fran Brown

The trip to the wilderness cabin was great fun. Really enjoyable to be able to spend the night out there. Chopping wood, fetching water from the well and a
traditional wood-fired sauna were all part of the fun. It was a fantastic week. Our guide, Janne, was great. He went the extra mile to adjust things to suit the mix of people on the tour and local conditions. (more)Christopher Lynch
It's hard to choose one memorable moment - I had a lovely time with the small team of ladies and the hospitality from our guide Mika, and our chef Harri was phenomenal! All the activities were great, and the food was delicious. (more)Nita Losoponkul

Of the activities, all were superbly family friendly (we were there with 7 and 8 year olds), but the day at the Husky Farm was the most exciting - a four hour
husky sledding trip and helping to feed the dogs afterwards. (more)Alison Cutler

The dog sledding was amazing and lots of fun. The dogs were beautiful and up for lots of cuddles. The time spent with the Sami people was awe inspiring. The Northern Lights are always something to behold.
Tips?
Take lots of warm clothes. The two nights in the Sami tents are very rustic - no electricity, running water, or flushing toilets - but still very comfortable and a unique experience.

There were many memorable parts to this holiday, from catching a glimpse of the lights, to riding snow mobiles through the forest at night, to breathing such beautiful clean air. The holiday was magical.
Tips?
There is no need to buy lots of specialist clothing, just some thermals and a couple of base layers. No need to dress up. Also don't stress about seeing the lights, the holiday is fabulous and if you get to see them its "the icing on the cake", enjoy all the... (more)Gillian McDonnell

I loved the Autumn colours; walking with the reindeer and learning about and experiencing the local culture and food. The aurora dome was very special ... a must do on the tour!! I just loved everything to be honest. The staff and guides are fantastic. Nothing is too much for them.
Tips?
Don't go just to see the northern lights because you may not be lucky enough to see them - but there is so much more to this tour/destination that makes it an amazing experience.... (more)Jeanette O

Aurora and husky safari
Tips?
Take plenty of thermals.
Local benefits?
Not sure. The guides certainly had knowledge about the local environment.
Overall rating?
Very enjoyable. Would perhaps have been nice to have had an extra day to explore or even rest as it felt very “full on” and was tiring, and although I would not have wanted to miss any of the evening activities, an evening just relaxing would have been nice. The staff were helpful, Nina was... (more)Daryl Halsey

Amazing. (more)Sylvia Darigala

Memorable parts?
Seeing the most awesome display of the Aurora Borealis on New Year's Eve! How lucky were we? This was the icing on the cake, following four days of exhilarating activities.
Tips?
It's a fair walk from the lake and hotel to the larger cabins and some activities can be slightly tiring, so make sure you are comfortable in what you are wearing and have some energy! If you wear glasses, take contact lenses.
Local benefits?
Yes, apart from the snowmobile engines
