1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?

The experience of the beautiful landscape. We particularly enjoyed the 'day in the wild'.

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

A buff/face cover is essential. Get the aurora alarm (I think it should be included in the vacation).

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

We enjoyed a talk from 2 Sami women about their culture.

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

Great!

1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your vacation?

Horse drawn sleigh ride to see Northern Lights. It was too cloudy to see lights but the sleigh ride was magical. Kids really enjoyed it. Loved cooking Frankfurter's over open fire, washed down with freshly brewed coffee.

2. What tips would you give other travelers booking this vacation?

Don't pay out for heavy snow clothes. All outdoor gear supplied. Don't pack loads to heavy jumpers. We brought far too many clothes and didn't end up wearing half of them.Pack thermal underwear and 1 or 2 thick or fleece jumpers.

3. Did you feel that your vacation benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?

The excursions I booked were run by local people so I think we did help tourist economy.

4. Finally, how would you rate your vacation overall?

We all had excellent vacation and definitely recommend it to others. The extra excursions we picked were brilliant and kid's really enjoyed them. Only complaint would be food. Menu very limited. Kids given same meal choice as adults, reindeer didn't rate highly with them. A beef steak one night was given to them with blood oozing out and a steak knife on their plate! When they did do chicken nuggets for them they were still frozen on inside!
