The guides were excellent and friendly and the location is beautiful
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!

Alta - Aurora Hunting Adventure
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.

Exceeded all our expectations. Saw the lights although they weren’t very bright but that was icing on the cake. It was our first winter holiday and we loved every minute of it and will definitely do one again.

Everything was amazing, the food was delicious every day, people very friendly
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

Rovaniemi - Aurora short break at the Arctic Circle Wilderness Lodge
We really enjoyed the reindeer safari - we were the only 2 passengers and it was so peaceful and beautiful. The husky safari was also really good and we were pleased to see how well the animals are looked after. Our safety was of utmost importance on all excursions.

Inari - Auroras by the frozen lake
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.

Everything worked very smoothly and the staff at both Muotka and Nellim were very helpful and friendly. Dog sledding. A completely new experience for me. Added bonus of petting the St Bernard and the Husky puppies after the ride.

A review of Menesjärvi - Wilderness Auroras
We loved the husky safari - a lot of fun and a beautiful day for it. The scenery was spectacular.
We had an absolutely phenomenal time - I would really struggle to find fault with any part of the trip. Accommodation was great - only gripe was our bathroom smelled a little off... but wasn't a huge problem. Food was delicious - only thought was that there was never a main vegetarian option - just salads and two big meat dishes. We aren't vegetarian so not a problem for us, but we do try to not eat too much meat, and we did overhear some people comment on this - it would have been nice to have the option for a vegetarian main meal on a couple of evenings. We loved the husky safari - a lot of fun and a beautiful day for it. The scenery was spectacular. We got back last night. This morning at 6am I was back on the Aurora Zone website getting excited about going back. It was the most incredible four days. We had temperatures down to -36 but guides didn't even hesitate - they made us feel totally safe and they seemed to genuinely love what they were doing. That was totally contagious. Also, seeing the Northern Lights three times was a dream come true. Thank you.

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!

Will definitely recommend this holiday to our friends.
We loved searching for the aurora every night. My personal favorite was the snowshoe trek through the national park. The day was perfect. Although cold, the sun made the day just about perfect. We were also surprised that we enjoyed the ice fishing so much. The guides were had were exceptional: Christina, Janica, Katrina. The restaurant staff were also friendly and attentive to our needs. We are a party of four women who booked this holiday without any expectations. Your company did an outstanding job of introducing us to Lapland and the culture and activities in the cold, cold north!

A review of Torassieppi - Lakeside Auroras
I would struggle to find something to fault
We had an absolutely fantastic time. Honestly, I would struggle to find something to fault. We were fortunate enough to see the aurora every night, with a spectacular display on our last night. We enjoyed the afternoons off, as the nights are obviously quite late. The husky sledding was awesome, because dogs are great. The ski mobile trips were also fantastic, particularly for us as we were a lot younger than a lot of the other guests.

A truly wonderful once in a lifetime holiday that was exceptionally organised
We enjoyed the husky and reindeer sleding and the snowmobile activities. Actually we just enjoyed it all but the most spectacular part of the holiday was witnessing the aurora almost every night of our stay.

Alta - Aurora Hunting Adventure
The help and information provided before the holiday was excellent. The organization of the trip's activities was good. Jon, the North Adventure rep, was professional, courteous, informative and helpful. Activities went smoothly, from pick-up to end (even extending over at times, which was most appreciated). Fantastic holiday, thoroughly enjoyed by all. Hectic, in that there are activities during much of the day. Many thanks for all, both in the UK and Norway.

A review of Alta - Aurora Hunting Adventure
Husky sledging was excellent. And snow-mobiling. Too hard to choose.
We loved the trip. From the comfy pick-up to the lovely food. This was genuinely a dream holiday. The food was excellent, all the staff were very friendly, the wine choice in the hotel was good (and not overly expensive in my view considering it came from SA), the activities were well co-ordinated and the rooms were lovely and warm. Only issues was no wifi in the superior rooms, but that was a minor blot.

We loved every moment! We do not have a single complaint!
Thank you so very much for the PERFECT Iceland/Northern Lights itinerary! We were able to see the Nothern Lights multiple times and not only that, our guides told us they were the best they had seen this season! Firstly, as stated above, this trip was just fantastic. I want to personally thank Dawn who helped with our booking and answered all 9 million of my questions!

Everything was really good, room was clean, tidy and warm. All the staff in the hotel were very friendly and helpful. Plenty of food never felt hungry and lots of choice for drinks, etc. Menu was so varied we never got bored - we loved the food! Overall experience was great. We really enjoyed the husky sledging, it's something we have always wanted to do and you got a good long turn each at driving the sleigh. We also really loved the snow shoe trek, Jonny was our guide and his facts about the wildlife and Finnish life were really interesting, plus the reindeer pitta we had for lunch was very tasty!
