Customer Review

We loved all the activities, but the husky ride must have been our absolute favorite. The hotel staff was absolutely amazing, considering all the issues they had to deal with, with a brand new opened Hotel. They were super professional, friendly and warm. We lov d the entire atmosphere of the resort. It felt like a welcoming and warm home away from home. We truly had a very special Christmas experience we will never forget. The guides are absolutely awesome and very knowledgeable.

Family run resort. Very well run. Hope they will keep up their good work. We will be back.

Our tour Guide Scotty was amazing, an amazing amount of knowledge backed up by a great attitude - He definitely turned the trip from a great one into an amazing one.We really enjoyed the husky sled tour and husky visit - and seeing the Northern Lights was a great bonus

Dog sledding, would be top but generally the whole experience and remoteness of Nellim is the main attraction from day 1. We were never disappointed. Again very lucky with the weather and had three nights clear and three nights of Aurora , two being very good and the other breathtaking..even if it was forecasted KP1/2. I have been lucky to witness the Aurora over 20 times and on 26th it just blew up - a very high speed display which I was able to record live using my Sony A7S.. I have photographed Aurora in Iceland, Greenland and Nellim........ Nellim has always been the best. with daytime temperatures on one day of -30 c, to experience walking around the woods in those conditions for over an hour is amazing. Just outstanding..the whole experience and the team at The Aurora Zone are just brilliant and a real pleasure to talk with.

I enjoyed everything. Snowmobiles - got plenty of time on them and plenty of exploration; Reindeer Day - plenty of time, feeding reindeers, the farm, ice fishing, husky safari - nice to be at one with the animals and the landscape.

We loved the snowmobiling and particularly enjoyed our time just the two of us with a guide where we went ice fishing and were able to snowmobile over to the spot. We absolutely loved our time away in Nellim, it lived up to all expectations and beyond. We would recommend to anyone. Aurora Zone made it very easy for us and the location of the hotel and choice of activities was amazing.

Such a great experience. Guides were excellent. We had Pim Mila and Anthony and all had exceptional knowledge were fun and made the trip enjoyable. The room was lovely and definitely worth the upgrade to a lodge with a private sauna which we made great use of. We had a bubble too which was also a great experience. The trips are planned so well and it still feels relaxed and not rushed but making good use of the time we had. All the activities were a good amount of time so we really got the best of the experiences. Food was great. I'm quite fussy and don't eat fish but didn't struggle for choices. I really liked that the group sizes were small. We never had more than 10 in our group which was perfect. This was a gift for my husband's 30th birthday and he had the best birthday ever. It was so easy to do all the admin on the own and every time I had a question you answered it. The trip was amazing and really once in a life time experience.

The hotel is fantastic and everyone was very friendly and helpful. Relaxed atmosphere and the most beautiful location. My husband loved the snowmobile and dog sledding - anything with an engine ;) I really enjoyed the dogs - driving the sledge through snow covered forest was magical but I thought the cross country skiing was also brilliant. I would like to say a very big Thank You for the wine you gave us for his 60th birthday and the local rep, Matt, had also left a birthday card for him. Your attention to detail is to be commended and I will tell everyone who will listen to use The Aurora Zone if they are considering a trip to Lapland. The holiday exceeded our expectations and they were very high to start with so well done and thank you once again for making this a birthday to remember.

The activities were so enjoyable - they so different to what we get at home

The guides were extremely helpful and knowledgeable about their activity and the area. They made the trip! Really enjoyed spending time with Petri and seeing the reindeers so close. It was interesting to learn the Sámi culture and to learn the importance of reindeer to the community.

Had an amazing time all staff were exceptional and nothing was too much trouble, the hotel and food was fantastic especially the night in the Kota

All the Guides we had were great, loved snowmobiling and husky safari. Thank you for your help with this adventure.

It was a magical holiday from start to finish. We saw the Northern Lights on three nights of our seven-night stay.

Enjoyable days and very lucky with the weather sunny and cold.  Everything went smoothly.

Amazing trip. Lodge was fantastic. Staff was fantastic. Finnair worked very hard. Gatwick staff as well.

Really enjoyed searching for the northern lights, enjoyed the time on the Fells, dog sledding was a fun experience, small group experience was welcomed. Matt was extremely helpful with all questions, generous with his time to teach the group planetary patterns in the sky above us, helped everyone how to better take photos of the night sky.

Everything was very well planned. All activities went like clockwork. It was all superb! Kiruna dog sled personnel were so very nice and accommodating. They were the best! Thanks for putting together an amazing holiday for us!

The husky safari was our favourite . We love dogs and when we were moving the silence in the wild beautiful landscape was amazing.

The food at the Clarion Aurora in Tromso was plentiful and a chalkboard by the entrance to the restaurant (and in the room booklet) was informative about food available and the chalkboard gave the menu for the evening buffet. If you didn't fancy the options there were abundant other restaurants in Tromso. We ate at the hotel every night and were very happy with the food. Everything was brilliant. The aurora watching was the reason for the holiday, a lifetime's ambition. We saw the aurora every night except the last (because it was snowing! We had two amazing nights where the lights performed and danced for four hours. The meal on the dinner cruise (just three guests) was a simple Norwegian Cod dish but really tasty and very enjoyable and our hosts were great company. The Sami Reindeer, wonderful. The dog sledding, fantastic. Would highly recommend the Polar Museum about the expeditions and polar explorations and polar bear hunting. Truly astounding.

Without doubt, the most enjoyable experience was the husky safari. Arriving to the hullabaloo of 40 huskies harnessed and ready to run, further supported in the singing by their canine friends who were in their kennels with viewing permissions only, can only be described as a truly wonderful experience! And then ... the dogs take off as quick as they can, and we are driving/being pulled by a team of dogs whose job is to run; they love it and they want to go faster and certainly don't want to stop! As they become quiet, all we can hear is their paws and the sled across the snowy surface, and the breeze. We are husky sledding across a frozen lake in the Arctic Circle - the most amazing experience with wonderful 'forever' memories. :)

Well, our trip was absolutely amazing and went off with no issues. It was a trip of a lifetime for my daughter and I and I would recommend The Aurora Zone to all of my friends. Delightful and we saw the lights.

What an amazing experience, we booked this trip for our honeymoon and it will be an experience we won’t forget in a hurry. Staff were well informed, friendly and attentive to your needs adding to the overall experience. Keep doing what you are doing because it works.

The snowmobiles and husky sleigh through the forest and over the lake was outstanding. But seeing the Aurora was the icing on the trip.

This has been a fantastic holiday. Our neighbours went on the same holiday last year and told us that we had to go! The staff were so helpful, friendly and fun. The guides were professional and encouraging. The food was lovely at Muotka, plenty of choice at breakfast and dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed all of the activities, highlight was the husky sledging which was absolutely fantastic. The dogs are so noisy until they can run, then the peace whilst travelling at speed through the snow is amazing...I just felt so lucky to have the experience of being there. The snowmobiles and cross-country skiing were also wonderful. The snowshoeing is last on the list but that was also good fun. All the guides were professional and friendly. Loved all the berry juice and camp fires.

The snowmobile trips into the wilderness and hunting the Auror - a really good fun, great experience, beautiful scenery, etc. All the food was great too.

We had a wonderful time in Abisko. Everything was well-organised, everyone friendly and accommodating. Food amazing - local dishes with moose, reindeer and Arctic char just delicious. We enjoyed all the activities very much, so hard to choose, but the Aurora hunt and photography was amazing.

What an amazing holiday. We were lucky enough to see the Aurora within hours of arriving. All the equipment/food and arranged activities were first class. Ben was a brilliant guide who really made it special. The Husky trip has to be the highlight - a truly magical experience. One item ticked off from our bucket list that should be top of everyone’s list!

Our neighbours travelled on the Muotka - Northern Lights Adventure last year and told us that we had to go! This has been a fantastic holiday. The staff were so helpful, friendly and fun. The guides were professional and encouraging. The food was lovely at Muotka, plenty of choice at breakfast and dinner. We thoroughly enjoyed all the activities, the highlight was the husky sledging which was absolutely fantastic. The dogs are so noisy until they can run, then the peace whilst travelling at speed through the snow is amazing...I just felt so lucky to have the experience of being there. The snowmobiles and cross-country skiing were also wonderful. The snowshoeing is last on the list but that was also good fun. All the guides were professional and friendly.

My wife and I have just returned from the best holiday that we have ever been on. Lapland is amazing; Nellim was great. We were lucky enough to experience three nights of Northern Lights. Even without the Aurora, the activities were such a fantastic experience - the Aurora was a bonus. Thank you.
