I have just returned from the 5 day long trip across Norway, Sweden and Finland and can honestly say it was an unrivalled experience and a trip of a lifetime that i will never forget. I travelled alone but never felt left out and they looked out for me where needed. The team are unsurpassed when it comes to their... More

This was great, we took the sledge with dogs (they lend you warm clothes so you dont freeze in the winter) and ate in one of the lavvos (tents) afterwards, everything was just excellent, and the slegdedriver are from all over the world, I recommend this (although I dont know about the price since my company payed for our group)

Okay, so like everyone else I was a little bit apprehensive about the price but it really was worth every penny!! We were picked up at the Radisson for an early 8.45am start. It was a tour put on as the other morning tour was booked out.I was impressed that they did this. When we got there we were given... More

Nothing in Norway is cheap and nor are the activities! But being able to drive our own dog sled, meet the dogs and cuddle the puppies made up the for the relatively high cost. Even though it started snowing/sleeting part way through it was an amazing experience and the views were beautiful too. My experience with the tour company itself... More

Having read all the reviews and most of them were excellent I was really loooking forward to this trip and it lived up to my expectations and more. We booked through Hurtigruten and were picked up from the Radisson Blu for a 30 minute bus ride to the Centre. Everything was well organised - we went in to the reception... More

We were keen to go dog-sledding and hoped to see the Northern Lights so we were thrilled that the night we went it was a clear starry sky. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the dog-sledding was tremendous fun. We had the chance to pet the dogs and cuddle the five week old puppies as well as enjoy... More

We did the snow shoeing activity as we wanted to see the northern lights independently from the crowds....we had a magnificent display for a good 2.5 hours and took some great photos but all the company did is give us the shoes and leave us to it....no map no guide no idea of where best to go on their land...

If I were basing this review just on the dog sledding I would give it a higher mark (although it's badly organised the dogs and the trip are lovely). We did the Aurora Camp as well. It is too close to the city for this really, though it was cloudy anwyay on our night. The night in the tent was... More

This was the only dog sledding we could get booked on, but in the end, pleased we did. It was blowing a blizzard, and we were packed in a minibus with 20 others overdressed and breathing heavily. The 35 minutes it took to get to the centre was just bearable (windows frozen up - nothing to see) so glad we... More
