Customer Review

Everything worked well and went to plan. Everything met or exceeded our expectations, so was a really good trip. Even the northern lights put on a great display while there.

We enjoyed the dog sledding most of all, mostly because it involved dogs and is the pure Arctic experience. It was enjoyable talking to the guides,learning about their dogs and feeling their passion for their animals.

We absolutely loved everything we did. The aurora hunt was a very special trip even though we didn’t see the aurora at this time. The cross country skiing was so much fun and we were encouraged to go at our own pace through a lovely encouraging guide.

The trip was amazing. It was such a magical place, the air was so pure, the scenery stunning. We had a glimpse of the lights which made the trip. The guides, accommodation, staff etc at the Wilderness Hotel were fantastic, I didn't want to come home

All activities were very enjoyable

We did the reindeer sleigh ride and loved that the guide came down the line and offered to take everyone's picture on their own phone/camera. My husband enjoyed the dog sledding the most!

People were very kind, helpful and spoke good English. A beautiful part of the world.

It is obvious that a lot of effort is put into taking visitors to places where there was maximum chance of seeing them. We liked all the other activities and we liked the combination of physical activities (cross country skiing) and less energetic activities, like snowmobiles. The huskies were great, as usual.

Nangu really was an absolutely magical setting and fantastic holiday

Can't think of any areas where it could be improved.

What an experience. Everybody was so relaxed and obviously knew their areas of expertise. Would highly recommend this holiday and the company obviously. Certainly ticked the bucket list of a lot of activities.

The Aurora hunt by snowmobile, was brilliant the guide was great, and snowmobiling at night was magical.

This holiday for me was years in the planning. When I saw this particular “package” on your web site it covered all of the activities (and more beside) that I was looking to experience. I would like to thank everyone at Aurora Zone for your expert help and advice at every stage of this booking not forgetting all the staff and guides at the resort who’s knowledge and experience was invaluable and together made for my wife and myself an absolutely unforgettable holiday experience. Thank you

Ian is a vegetarian and felt that the choice and quality of food were excellent. Some of the dishes were truly delicious and the chefs did very well. In fact, given that there was generally only one main on offer, it was excellent every time. The guides were all very friendly, knowledgeable and enthusiastic. They were all dedicated to giving us an exceptional holiday. The reindeer herding was fantastic and we were very interested to hear about Petri's life and media activities! We felt honoured to spend time with him. We would class this holiday as a once-in-a-lifetime experience, which we will never forget. Having said that, we are thinking about doing another holiday with more husky sledding! The whole booking process was very easy and we appreciated your quick responses to our questions. We would like to thank everyone involved for making this a truly wonderful holiday.

Hard to choose (a favourite activity) - but the husky sledding was incredible as I'm a 'dog person'. I was surprised how much i enjoyed the snowshoeing, we had perfect weather and our guide Emmi was very knowledgeable. The scenery was incredible. The reindeer day was also great, the day was jam-packed and we loved every second of it.

Dog Sledding across the lake, peaceful and great fun

All the activities were excellent and the snowshoe walk into the forest in search of Aurora Borealis was also fantastic especially as we were privileged enough to see a seriously good light show. Overall we absolutely loved our trip to Finland, the activities were excellent and the pace generally about right.

I enjoyed every part of my stay. The scenery was magical and everything ran smoothly.

Loved it all, so hard to choose. I think the husky sledging (was the favourite) as it was so peaceful and fun.

The husky ride and reindeer herder day were the highlights for me. Not only were the whole events well organised but the information the guides gave us added to the whole experience. We had no expectations when we booked this holiday as it was our first ‘cold’ holiday. We both thoroughly enjoyed the whole experience and would highly recommend it to anyone. Thank you.

The Aurora everyday, of course, were amazing. Food absolutely fantastic with decent wine choice. Just perfect - pricing is debatable but such a vacation in idle places are always pricy. If you want to be alone there is a price to pay.

Snowmobile safari and husky safari were the highlights. Saw Northern Lights brilliantly at both centres. Muotka, an amazing place and hotel. Very efficient and well run, yet was incredibly welcoming and cosy. It had an intimate and friendly feel to it. Hotel staff could not have been more helpful or friendly. Nothing seemed to be too much trouble for them. There seemed to be a generally fun and relaxed atmosphere to the whole place.

Lasting impression is of the friendliness of all the staff. Very impressed.

We loved the morning with the Reindeer herder, sitting by a campfire in a forest surrounded by reindeer hearing all about the Sami way of life

A wonderful time was had by both. The only improvement would be to have a map/route planner for occasions when you went out on your own. Thank you to all involved in making the short break an unforgettable experience. Helped particularly by the Aurora joining us on 3 nights out of 4!! Not something you can control!!

A fantastic trip all round

The husky safari was great. Something totally different from the norm; the right balance of adrenalin required to turn fear into excitement and enjoyment. An added bonus is the beauty of the otherwise inaccessible routes you get to see.

The whole experience was fantastic with excellent guides and informative staff.

Very well planned and had an excellent time, would do again but probably summer. Loved the snow mobile; also just seeing the northern lights, even from hotel. We both had a great time, and will recommend this trip. Already have had enquiries.
