Customer Review

My wife and I decided that we are now of the delicate age to start completing our bucket list! Seeing the ‘Northern Lights’ was very high up on that list. A work colleague had told me about her trip with the ‘Aurora Zone’ and after a lot of research and discussion, we decided to book the full experience of an Aurora Hunting Adventure at the lovely Wilderness Hotel Inari and what a trip it was. Being as it was on our bucket list, we opted for our final three nights in a glass-roofed  Aurora cabin, overlooking lovely lake Inari. The staff at Aurora Zone made the booking easy and seamless, updating us throughout the build-up to the trip of any items we’d need for the trip and with copies of all paperwork. The Wilderness Hotel Inari is a lovely hotel in a great location. The food is good and plentiful with a great choice for everyone. My wife is a Vegetarian and though the choice was limited (mainly vegetables) there was plenty of it and we happily grazed at every meal. The staff are wonderful and do their best to look after you during your stay. The highlights, well there were many. The main one was the gentle snowshoeing with Ian to a hut by a frozen lake one night. The fire was lit, we chatted and the Aurora made an appearance.  Our woodland walk with Santos later in the week showed us the beauty of the Inari forest and rivers and we saw some otters searching for food, all in the most amazing surroundings. The Finns have amazing outdoor spaces and camps you can just turn up at, light a fire and use, all out in the Wilderness.  Other highlights were the husky drive and meeting some mad puppies, all of which scattered as we were introduced to them, cue ten minutes laughing and trying to round the three of them up.  We also loved our visit to a Sami family-run reindeer park, the culture and history of which was fascinating. Overall the trip was the most amazing and memorable experience, one that we will never forget. This holiday did not just tick off a bucket list point but spray painted the bucket itself. Thank You all!

Martin, our tour driver took us places that I don't think other tours would have taken us - he was very informative, knowledgeable, courteous and very personable! Give him a raise!!!!

Husky sledding and snowmobiling - just great fun moving quickly through such a stunning environment.

The guides were passionate, knowledgeable and fun.

The reindeer farm, was so beautiful and so interesting. I loved hearing about the Sami people and their culture. So happy I chose your company

The husky safari was something I had always wanted to do, and completely lived up to my expectations.

Lucia our contact at the hotel was lovely and very approachable - she took time to talk to us and ask about our holiday whenever she saw us. Snowmobile to the reindeer farm - we got to ride snowmobiles to the reindeer farm, go on a reindeer-pulled sleigh, get lots of information and ask lots of questions about reindeer and reindeer farming, have lunch at another location then snowmobile back to the hotel. It was a day activity and by the end of it was getting dark so got to snowmobile in the dark too! It was great fun, the group wasn't too big (6 + 2 guides I think) and our guides were very knowledgeable and friendly (as usual!)
