Customer Review

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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.

We had a great time, would do it again

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.

Husky Safari - A wonderful experience. Lovely husky leader Petri. Lovely dogs, lovely puppies.

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.

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

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.

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.

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!

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!

All staff at Nellim were first class and Hannabella was very helpfull.

We really enjoyed our Inari Wilderness experience. I found the enthusiasm and knowledge of the activity guides particularly positive.

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.

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

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