Customer Review

The holiday was a dream come true. We didn't see the lights but that was ok as the rest of the activities and accommodation were great fun and you almost forgot you were there to see the lights. I loved the snow mobiles, we were lucky enough to be just my partner and I with the guide and we got to stop and start as we pleased. it was fantastic. My partner loved the husky's - very enjoyable

Overall an excellent holiday. The location and activities were excellent.

Despite our only getting to see the aurora borealis on our last evening as the weather was cloudy for the rest of the week, we were totally blown away by the holiday. It exceeded our expectations in many ways. Jenni and Anna, our reps were outstanding and couldn't have made us feel more welcome or have been more helpful. They are great ambassadors for Aurora Zone. The hotel staff were friendly and very helpful as were the staff at Lapland Safaris. The husky safari was as good as the hype. It was thrilling and the knowledge and enthusiasm of the team at the husky farm was outstanding. We also really enjoyed the Wilderness Kota meal. The food was fantastic, our hosts were very pleasant and the company of the other guests present was excellent.  

The remoteness, small size and the fantastic staff make a visit to Torassieppi very special. This is the first time we have ever been back to the same place twice and it was just as special the second time! It's a truly magical place where you can relax and have fun. The staff really make it and they were brilliant. We've already made special mention of Kristiina but Nico, Sonya, Carly and everyone else were delightful. No hesitation in recommending Torasieppi and, who knows, we may do a 3rd trip!

What a brilliant week we had. An unforgettable holiday. The Art Suite was definitely a 'one-off' experience! Thanks to you all for your advice, help and making it a really special 'tailor-made' holiday. We're even thinking of a trip next winter to Finland...! Thanks again. It really was a 5* experience.

Our hosts were friendly and welcoming and the hotel was situated perfectly if you love peace and tranquillity. The social aspect of the holiday was sitting around at meal times with our slippers on and generally just relaxing and chilling out. We loved the reindeer farm, our host was excellent, he went to school at what is now our hotel Korpikartano and it was obvious that the reindeer, the land and his family are his life. We also loved the husky safari and of course the snowmobiles.

Highly recommend anyone to use The Aurora Zone when booking a holiday. Very helpful knowledgeable staff who give it the personal touch. Dog sledding was the most fun. The dogs were lovely and the staff made us feel very welcome. Would love to go back again maybe in the summer for a different type of holiday. Would also look to go on the same type of holiday in a different country to see those pesky Northern Lights!

An all-round exceptional experience from booking to the final transfer.

The husky driving. Out of the ordinary, fast and the huskies are gorgeous. I would like to thank you-you all for the personal touches during our communications for the build-up to our holiday. Everything went smoothly. A huge thank you for organising my birthday cake and the bottle of wine I received as a gift from you all. My birthday was amazingly different and enjoyable. Thank you all so much.

The trip was excellently well organized and the activities very interesting and enjoyable. The friendliness and helpfulness of all the people we met was exemplary. We had a great time and everything lived up to expectations. Thank you very much for arranging such a great and memorable trip!

We had a wonderful time, a magical experience in the Finnish winter wonderland. The activities were fun and unusual and the guides were enthusiastic about the natural world. I loved all the activities. It was such a special and different thing to do and the activities suited the age range in our family group of 4, from 26 to 60.

Overall an excellent trip; we saw the Aurora every night - it was magical. The guides at Muotka were fabulous, friendly and helpful. The hotel was warm and extremely comfortable, with great staff.

I loved my Aurora Zone trip to Nellim. Snowmobiling, snowshoeing, reindeer visiting, ice fishing, sitting by a fire in the wilderness watching the snowfall one night and the skies ablaze with stars, a rising moon AND the Aurora dancing across the sky! The lodge was excellent. Felt very authentic. Food was excellent. The guides were full of great information, took great care of every individual in the small groups. The only thing I missed was the dog sled adventure, but I just ran out of time. Good reason to come back!! They were very accommodating to everyone's particular needs and times of arrivals/departures. The location of the lodge was far away from any other lodge so you weren't running into other groups. You were very secluded!! I would highly recommend The Aurora Zone.

Everything exceeded our expectations and will definitely recommend this trip. Great holiday, well organised and really appreciated one small group for the activities. Hotel was Lovely and all the staff were friendly, informative and helpful - it didn’t feel like a hotel it was very welcoming and relaxed.

An excellent holiday with good food and good equipment provided. Booking and information provided was very good.

All activities were enjoyed

We are frequent travellers and have been to lots of places all over the world. This holiday is definitely one of the best ever. Magical place, super accomodation, lots of activities to choose from, friendly staff in the hotel, very professional guides, tasty food, ..... and the list goes on and on. The husky safari was very well organised, relaxing and the animals were in a super shape. It's nice to see how much care and attention is given to these beautiful creatures.

The holiday was amazing thanks so much.

We originally booked to see the Northern Lights but that became secondary to all the great activities. We did see the lights just not in full technicolour.... Next time... All our guides were great, friendly, helpful and worked really hard to ensure everything ran as smoothly as possible. We had a couple of extremely cold days (-35 ish) and the guides ensured we kept moving to warm up and checked on us frequently. In addition, flights with Finnair were great. Good service, on time, clean and friendly.

A very slick well organised holiday in Harriva. Busy schedule but we packed everything in and had a fantastic experience. Thanks

Couldn't fault anything. Hotel was great. Staff friendly and helpful, food very tasty and rooms clean and warm. Snow suits and boots excellent. Activity guides were brilliant very knowledgeable and informative. Activities were great fun there wasn't anything I didn't enjoy..

Muotka was amazing. The whole trip was faultless and we’re grateful for Barry Nolan giving us great advice on our room choice - the log cabin was perfect for us. Also, Matt the rep was brilliant whilst we were out aurora hunting - his knowledge was exceptional! All of the guides were extremely friendly and welcoming making each activity truly memorable. The icing on the cake was seeing the northern lights but even if we hadn’t the trip would have still been amazing.

The entire experience was truly phenomenal from start to finish. The sales team were helpful, patient and incredibly knowledgeable, and that is before we had even arrived in Finland. It was genuinely one of the most special and memorable trips we have ever taken and could not recommend The Aurora Zone enough.

A wonderful experience even though it was too cloudy to see any Northern lights. The hotel staff were very helpful and friendly. Food was really excellent.

The guides were all so friendly and helpful and you could tell they went out of their way to make sure all the guests had a great time..

We had a wonderful time.We did have a long outward flight delay which meant we missed the first half day at our destination.However ,the hotel had rearranged our activities to compensate for this and had hot food waiting for us on arrival. The hotel was in a beautiful secluded setting and looks lovely.It is brand new a there were still a few glitches which are being sorted out and therefore I can’t fault that. The Northern Lights were magical and made the tri,p however, we would have been content to go home without seeing them as we understood that they can’t be guaranteed.

The guides and activities were outstanding in all locations.

To be honest from the moment we stepped off the plane to the moment we left everything we did from walking to huskies to skiing everything was so much fun! Fab Holiday, Fab staff at the hotel, the guides. Everyone made our holiday amazing. We saw the Northern lights 4 times but underneath them by Boyfriend proposed. The Food was amazing and we couldn't have wished for a more perfect time away. I've said to everyone that booking thru Aurora Zone is a most and traveling to Lapland is a bucket list that shouldn't be ignored. DO it, its really worth it.
