Customer Review

We had a fabulous holiday, it was really special and full of memorable moments. We will definitely be going back sometime.

Fantastic holiday. Excellent organisation. Activities were very well run with friendly and informative guides. Topped off by an amazing show of the Lights on the final night.

An amazing adventure which was extremely well organised and will give us memories to cherish forever. We felt very well looked after by everybody at the hotel and the guides were wonderful people to learn from and share our experiences with. I would recommend this to anyone - it will easily go down as one of the best trips we've ever taken and will take some beating. Unfortunately, we never met our rep but we did have useful paperwork when we arrived from Ben and maybe we were just having such a good time to worry or have any need to speak to him. any time we had a question or needed anything the staff at the hotel were always there to help. Seeing the Northern Lights on our last night as part of the Night Snowmobiling Trip was something I will never forget and will never be replicated, it was an incredibly unique experience! But the Gentle Snow Booting during an afternoon was arguable just as enjoyable for very different reasons. Thank you to you and the staff at Muotka for an amazing Honeymoon! It was everything and more than what we hoped for. The chocolates, Wine, card and rooms were the extra special touches which made it really feel like a Honeymoon! Thankyou!

From the moment we enquired on the telephone to heading home it was the best holiday we have had. Every organised day and night was well planned and the guides were brilliant, certainly not a short adventure for each event. The log cabin I fulfilled my dream of diving in the snow after our own sauna! The under floor heating ensured clothes where dry for the next adventure also, perfect for us as we our not hotel people. On Daniels Birthday we had the amazing husky day with a surprise birthday cake. In the evening we headed to a remote camp over the big lake to wait for the aurora. Jonny our guide made a great fire and we then saw the aurora, what an amazing day, what a memory. So pleased we had a recommendation for your holiday.

Excellent trip! Very well organised. Will highly recommend!

We enjoyed all the activities but the most exileratiing was the dog sledding. The noise and excitement of the dogs before they got going and the silence when they were running- fabulous. We took our family away to celebrate our 40th wedding Anniversary and we were not disappointed. Flowers, chocolates and Prosecco in the room for us when we arrived. A lovely touch. Thank you

Snowmobiling was incredible. It was a -20, blue sky day and having snowed continually for 2 days before the tracks were covered so tracking through deep snow in the forest was incredible. We were a child free group with excellent guides, which made for a super day!

Fantastic holiday, staff at Aurora Zone and Apukka Resort were always friendly and helpful. We loved the snowmobiling, it was fun being able to drive them and getting out into the wilderness. Also loved the husky sleigh, the dogs were so friendly and keen to get going, my husband took to driving like he'd done it all his life and I loved sitting in the sleigh and seeing all the beautiful scenery - a perfect combination! The reindeer sleigh at night was magical - snug in our blanket enjoying the peace of the forest. It's difficult to chose between them, they were all very special.

Nina welcomed us beautifully upon our arrival. My partner's dietary requirements were well looked after. The hotel facilities were great. All of the staff were professional, friendly and helpful. Especially the activity guides - they were amazing and just wanted everyone to have a great experience. The food was great. The rooms and facilities were great.

The snowmobile safari to the fells was the most fun as the other participants were very friendly and the guide Simon was exceptionally friendly and knowledgeable and really made the trip a memorable experience.

Husky adventure. We are not dog lovers and assumed we would be transported for most of the trip. However, the local guide was excellent and taught us how to mush the sledges all the way ourselves. Quite challenging with much concentration needed, but the dogs did most of the work and it was really exhilarating and fun, despite stinging snow in my eyes at times! As an extra time filler, we paid for ice fishing, which was excellent, particularly with such a good guide (Norah). Recommended. Very happy we upgraded to cabin. Very comfortable and lovely views of the stars. Winter weather gear also very good quality and necessary.

The accommodation is first class - nothing is to much trouble for them, It is a little gem situated in Abisko. The staff are so friendly and helpful and the food is to die for - a three-course meal every evening - 5-star quality, along with the choice for breakfast. We are also very pleased with The Aurora Zone for arranging this trip.

Fantastic service from start to finish. Booking office staff very knowledgeable and helpful. Loved our perfect accommodation in the panoramic hut surrounded by a beautiful forest setting. Food was fabulous. This was one of my favourite holidays ever. All the staff were so friendly and welcoming. Loved Finland.

The only thing we missed were the lights, so I guess we'll just have to come back!!

We booked our holiday at quite short notice and relied on the advice given by Graham. We were not disappointed as Brandon Lodge exceeded our expectations. Everyone we came in contact with did their very best to make it a very special experience. A special thanks to Graham for his help and advice when organising the trip. Thanks also to Goran an his team for making our visit so special. Goran even took us into Lulea one of the days - an unexpected treat. We will definitely consider you company when making future trips.

Thank you for all the prebooking support that you provided. The accommodation and activities were fabulous. The staff and guides couldn't have been more helpful. Katrina was there every day to check in on us and help with any questions we had. We've already sent your details out to a number of friends who have asked about our trip. We'll definitely be back with our families at some point in the near future.

It was a great trip and I would do it again in a heart beat!

Husky ride was superb, it was just us two, and a really long route. The snowmobiling to the archipelago was also great. We didn’t get to the pack ice due to some melting snow, but the day was great. The food was really outstanding and the staff did all they could to give us a great time.

I would thoroughly recommend this four day break in Iceland - a good mix of activities. I think you actually undersell the Super Jeep element in your description. I was expecting a much more routine tour - it was nothing but!

We had a great time, would do it again

My favourite activity was the snowmobiling and my husbands was the dog sledding, the aurora hunt on the first night was amazing as we had 3 hours of Northern Lights. Overall we had an amazing holiday, an option to do some cross country skiing would be a good addition to the itinerary, in fact a more flexible offer where you choose your activities from a menu would be good.

What more can I say..apart from what an amazing Aurora Borealis display we were lucky enough to see...the sky lit up in different colours and we didn’t know where to look next! Another great holiday to remember.

An amazing holiday, we will definitely use you again. It’s the 1st cold holiday I have ever done & loved every second & prefer to hot holidays. The husky safari was the best activity, just wished we had booked a longer 1 but definitely do that next time

Dog-sledding. Wonderful to see such enthusiasm in animals! They were well-trained and, Peter, the man in charge, made sure we were safe and warm at all times. The weather was perfect Finnish winter on that day. The snow-shoe trek came a close second. Mikko was an excellent guide, having everything in his massive rucksack that any of us might need. He was careful about our safety and well-being, hugely knowledgeable and genuinely enthusiastic about his native countryside.

The whole experience was amazing from booking to coming home.

We had the absolute time of our life. FANTASTIC credit to the local teams who were extremely enthusiastic about their work and the Aurora Borealis.

The small size and remote location make this a special place. Activity guides very good...make you feel welcome. Snow shoe trek as the scenery was fantastic and guide very knowledgeable...small group. Dog sledding was great other than long drive to other hotel. Of course seeing the northern lights was spectacular!

Snowmobile days out and husky were so much fun and gives you chance to fully see the scenery which was spectacular.

The meeting with the reindeer herder. It was amazing to listen and understand the way the Sami people live and his passion for the environment. Never to be forgotten.

I would like to mention our rep Hannahbella who was a star, when we fell ill due to a virus we caught nothing was to much trouble for her to make sure we had everything we needed,she went way above the call of duty
