Excellent. Our 'Tutor' James Rushworth was exceptional. His ability to place us in the right place at the right time, his knowledge of Iceland and things Icelandic, his photography skills and ability to pass on that knowledge were superb. (more)Alvin Barrick

The vacation met or exceeded our expectations on all levels. However a small caveat - we have done this sort of vacation 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 vacation. (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

Most memorable? - Seeing over 100 orcas swimming freely around the boat. What a truly breath taking experience... Amazing. I can't recommend this trip highly enough. Charles and his crew are fantastic. (more)Stuart Etheridge
Most memorable parts of the vacation were... the frequent encounters with both Humpback and Orca each day. (more)Paul Manning

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

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.

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

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

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 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

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

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.

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
