He went the extra mile to adjust things to suit the mix of people on the tour and local conditions. (more)Christopher Lynch

Memorable parts? 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

Memorable parts? There were many memorable parts to this vacation, from catching a glimpse of the lights, to riding snow mobiles through the forest at night, to breathing such beautiful clean air. The vacation 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 vacation is fabulous and if you get to see them its "the icing on the cake", enjoy all the... (more)Gillian McDonnell

Memorable parts? The dog sledding was the best! Very exciting, amazing experience! Tips? To fly to Ivalo and stay at Nangu Wilderness hotel.

Memorable parts? The whole vacation was just amazing. I loved being able to explore the vast, white wilderness which was just the most quiet and peaceful place I have ever been. Doing this via snowmobiles, skis, snowshoes and huskies was very special. Seeing the aurora twice during our stay, with a dancing, swirling light show on our last aurora camp, has to go down as one of our most memorable and special moments of our stay. I also need to mention the very friendly and knowledgeable guides,... (more)Angela Hancock

Check for tips on how to operate devices in cold weather. Local benefits? Yes Overall rating? Fantastic! (more)Liezl-Mia Ludick

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 Overall... (more)Jeannette Middleton

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
