Customer Review

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!)

Overall excellent. All arrangements flawless - everyone was expecting us and we saw amazing things. We were very lucky with the Aurora and whales! A bit more info on the coach transfers and the flow of the days would have been welcome. Whale safari slightly less perfunctory.

Back in sunny Perth and reflecting that the Inari Wilderness Lodge experience was a really special time for us.  The comfortable Lodge became our huge living and dining room with friendly staff. Our aurora cabin allowed us to see the Northern Lights the one night they were flashing, and the guides were really informative and supportive. Otter footprints beside the river running into Lake Inari; the delicate pearlescent lights and shades of the skies during the day; the wide white expanse of frozen Lake Inari framed by dark brooding pines; the aurora glimmering and shyly moving across the starry night. The trip wasn't perfect but then can a trip ever be? The guides were terrific. We saw a significant Aurora one night (only I was too groggy with sleep to really appreciate it). I fell in love with the wide white silence of the area, the amazing changes of light in the skies - not just at night during the aurora but also during the day. In conclusion a very memorable experience for both of us. Thank you for holding my hand through this process of getting there!

The Aurora in Sommarøy: we didn’t have to travel far from the hotel, the location was beautiful and offers unobstructed views, the warm cabin made our wait for the aurora more enjoyable. Our guide Halvard was a great company to have with a lot of stories to share.

This was one of the best vacations I have ever had! The choice of accommodations was excellent and the customer service throughout was phenomenal. But the best part were the local guides and companies that they partnered with. Green Gold of Norway was especially fantastic. We had the most magical day, whale watching (saw so many orcas and grey whales!) during the day, and watching the breathtaking Northern Lights at night. Cannot say enough about what an amazing trip this was. Thank you!

We were very lucky and had a clear sunny day for this trip and saw many whales close up.

Seeing the northern lights. We only saw them 1 night out of the 4 we were there, but that night was near nigh perfect, and pretty spectacular. Having said that, the forest walk on snowshoes was a great experience, and ran it fairly close.

Even though we loved the aurora safaris, the weather was so good that the snowshoeing was our favourte activity.

An excellent holiday, well planned and booked. Staff extremely helpful and friendly. Guides excellent.

Thoroughly enjoyed all the excursions and especially the night at the Crystal Lavvos on the Lyngen peninsula. We were so fortunate to see the Aurora on a number of nights and the local guides provided great information and photographic advice. The Clarion Hotel The Edge was excellent and the breakfast kept us going throughout the day. Many thanks to the whole Aurora Zone team and their local guides.

Crystal Lavvos (Lyngen) was a superb area to view the Aurora and Franciso and Norbert of Green Gold were excellent guides. Francisco's advice on camera set-up was invaluable and overall he made us so welcome at his home. Have to add that we were extremely fortunate with the weather and Aurora conditions.

The staff and the locals were truly hospitable, nothing was too much trouble and they were very welcoming. The female on reception (not sure of her name) was very helpful in suggesting where to go. We went on the aurora hunt to the border which was fantastic as we saw the lights. The whole experience was helped by the first snowfall of the season which made the stay completely magical.

Although the food choices were minimal, the taste and accompaniments were excellent. And the service was even better. If I had been feeling better, I would have involved myself in more activities. The rep and local guide was beyond excellent. The accommodation exceeded my expectations, as my purpose was to see the lights. And with the huge glass windows facing north, my purpose was fulfilled. I saw the lights 2 of my 4 nights from my room. And when my guide took us out on the one night that I was well enough to involve myself, the magic of the lights was amazing. Also, I must acknowledge the excellent work done by the pre-holiday staff. The were so accurate in the preparation of my trip that everything went according to their plan.

Everything ran like clockwork - so well organised - thank you

Had a superb trip, extremely lucky to havereally strong aurora activity every night.

All the Finnish people were friendly and helpful. The guides were excellent - really knew their stuff. Wonderful relaxing break. But I should mention that we did have dry, mostly sunny weather which definitely helped us to see the aurora three nights in a row.
