Customer Reviews

    · January 16th, 2025
    Overall, it was a very nice trip. We loved the restaurant in the Eishotel, the furniture in the warm room should be revised. The ice rooms are very nice. The arranged tour with reindeer feeding and sledging was a complete success. The tour guide was exceptionally good (especially his talent for storytelling). We also liked RIPAN Camp very much. Again, a really good restaurant and nice tours. We booked another tour riding Icelanders in search of moose as there was still plenty of time. The staff in both hotels are extremely friendly and the tour guides tell interesting stories about SAMI life.

    Abisco is a top location for the polar lights - we saw them every night of our stay there.

    The round trip by bus was great because we saw so much of the Lofoten Islands. As we often had bright sunshine during the day, the high snow-capped mountains with the sea in the foreground were particularly impressive. Regina was an absolutely confident tour guide and enriched the tour with her optimistic manner. Unfortunately, we didn't manage to see the Northern Lights - they were there, but we couldn't see them because of the thick cloud cover, rain or snow. After the bus trip, we also booked a snowshoe hike with Wandering Owl around Tromsö - also a recommendation - although unfortunately you can't book the powder snow that we had. All in all, a wonderful trip with lots of nice memories.
