Customer Review

Husky sledding and reindeer camp were both super fun and excellent, Clarion Edge hotel was clean, modern and great food

The dog sledding was by far our favourite activity, it was exhilarating and fun. this was a most excellent trip and everyone I dealt from the very beginning to the last contact was very helpful and quick to respond to our queries. Love this company.

This trip was an extremely amazing trip. As it turns out, it was exactly perfect--all necessary things were taken care of without having to have someone lead you by the nose to do what has been preprogrammed. The choices of places and the activities included were exactly perfect and both my husband and I feel it was one of the best trips we've ever done. We got to see the Aurora three times and the places we stayed were excellent. I would highly recommend and have already recommended to family members that are also desirious of seeing the Aurora to use this company--I'm hoping to find other trips they coordinate to other parts of the world but not sure if they do--keeping my fingers crossed.

Unbelievable holiday for all 4 of us, we want to go again. It was all so well organised and the hotel and guides were amazing.

The Husky Safari was the most enjoyable activity we had. It was so exciting! But we really enjoyed every activity and our tour guides were amazing! Shoutout to Jana and snowmobile Adam i think was his name! All the guides were Amazing thank you so much for having this amazing people guide us and having so much patience with us since we have never done any of these activities. Thanks to Jana for all of her patience teaching us how to skii and walk with the snow shoes. Thanks to Adam with all of his attention in such a cold night with the snowmobiles.

Staying in the glass-top cabin was quite an experience!  We didn't get much sleep as we kept waking up to check for the Northern Lights. The last two nights, we were in a regular room which was also very nice and comfortable.  Nangu's main lodge/restaurant was very nice, with excellent food and wine choices. We really enjoyed the adults-only atmosphere that this hotel offers. It's an easy walk to the frozen lake, where many activities occur.  We snowshoed, snowmobiled, and went dogsledding -  all of the activities were fun and very professionally run. Kudos to our main tour guide, Marti, who was absolutely wonderful! The only thing I would change about the tours was that we had 4 hours of snowshoeing one morning, but somehow got scheduled for more snowshoeing that night as well (we were too tired for that again, but pushed through).  Suggest spreading this out a bit.  Being given the snowsuits, boots, and gloves to borrow was key - and we really needed the heated hand warmers (for purchase) since it was around 0-degrees F most of the time!  Airport transport to/from was quick and easy. The front desk staff were so friendly and helpful at the hotel, and we met some wonderful people from other countries.  We saw the Northern Lights all 3 nights! Just an amazing experience overall, and we will remember this trip forever! Thanks for everything.

Loved all the activities but my favourite was the huskies. From the beginning of the trip at Gatwick, the flight with Finnair and their staff, through to Ivalo, the transfer, the reception at the Northern Lights Village, the Igloo, the restaurant and lounge areas. All activities were well thought out and safety paramount. One of the best experiences ever. To top it all the Northern Lights made an appearance for 3 nights while we stayed in Saariselka. Amazing trip

Excellent log cabin. So nice to have your own sauna and wood burning fireplace after a day out in the cold!

The snow mobiling was great fun and the visit to the reindeer farm was very interesting plus a great lunch eaten outside.

Holiday was brilliant and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Nellim.

Hard to pick what was most enjoyable but probably dog sledging, exploring in near silence.

We enjoyed the mix of activity trying huskie sledding, cross country skiing and snowshoeing for the first time and were so fortunate to see the Northern Lights on 3 nights. The log cabin was warm and cosy. The food in the restaurant was superb and we really enjoyed talking to the wilderness guides-our particular thanks to Ani who took us to the Aurora camp and Henri who took us snowshoeing and skiing. All very well organised and we definitely need a return visit to conquer the photography!

I had a great time, Nikii is an excellent host. I thought all the activities were of a good duration, long enough to get some practice but not so long that you got cold etc. very well run.

It was lovely meeting other families and nationalities. There are skis and sledging mats and bikes with fat tyres for you to use. Goran and the staff were very helpful and friendly. Going out on the dog sledging. So exhilarating "driving" the sleds through the forest and along the tracks. Meeting them all and cuddling the puppies. There again, the staff were lovely and looked after us all very well. They instructed us carefully and made sure we went round the bends safely. I would do it again in a heartbeat. We also went out onto the frozen sea on snowmobiles which was pretty amazing and fast! There again, Erik instructed us on the safety aspects carefully. Thomas drove us over the frozen sea in the hovercraft to one of the ice roads. We also had an evening snow shoe walk and Andrea's explained about various flora and fauna. Obviously, hot drinks and cinnamon buns are served on every outing! We also saw the northern lights on the last night - yay!!

Hotel staff very helpful and friendly especially Nina and Ella our room upgrade was a fabulous surprise, overall accommodation full of character & charm like a Christmas card with all the snow. Husky dog sledging was very enjoyable seeing the dogs at work and meeting the adorable puppies afterwards.  

As I was travelling with my 89 year old mother, the assistance that she received was fabulous. She was able to participate in the activities we had booked (Aurora car and camp and reindeer farm visit) as the guides helped her along the way. We saw the northern lights!!! We stood outside by Inari lake for about 2 hours but the thermal suits, hand warmers and "Just give it another 5 minutes" attitude meant that we had a good display.

It was a fantastic honeymoon and first holiday abroad for us as a couple.

Undoubtedly the most enjoyable aspect was Northern Lights camp 7 hunt. We were blessed with fantastic conditions.

We enjoyed the husky sledging and Aurora camp where we enjoyed a fantastic Northern Light show

One of your female guides was unbelievable with her knowledge and enthusiasm. The rest of the staff whose names I cannot remember from the restaurant/lodge were all brilliant.

No complaints at all - it was perfect! My wife enjoyed cross country skiing the most, because it was so peaceful, while I liked the aurora camp (we got lucky!) and snowmobiling. Everything else was great as well.

Staff were lovely and we were very lucky to see northern lights 3 nights in a row

The snow mobiling was a wonderful experience in nature. Amazing and will be back.

There was a real sense of adventure in setting out and we were lucky enough to see the Aurora

We enjoyed our stay and were lucky to see the northern lights each night (with a prolonged show on the second night). Truly wonderful

Great guides, perfectly organised .. and the hotel and location was really really beautiful. Seeing the aurora was the most enjoyable aspect .. I guess .. but our review would not be very different if this natural spectacle had not appeared .. We had a great trip all round and everything was done to make it feel special.

I really cannot fault your administration and the holiday itself. It was a pleasure to travel with your company and the holiday exceeded our expectations. Hotel Korpikartano is a gem and we really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere there. The lack of light pollution and no traffic noise was a novelty!

Can I just say this holiday excelled in my expectations. Thankyou Aurora Zone.

Felt really blessed that we got to see the northern lights 3 out of the 4 nights with some of the guides saying the second night was even more special with it starting so early on in the evening and lasting quite late

Food selection and quality was excellent! Our favourites were huskies closely followed by snowmobiles. Hadn’t done either of these before. Guides were excellent well organised knowledgeable and friendly. Campfires and refreshments are great. Accommodation was clean and comfortable.
