    Witnessing Northern Lights in Finland with Journaway was magical. The blend of adventure, nature, and local insights made this trip unique. Journaway’s eco-conscious practices were a big plus!

    We had a great time during this trip, everything was perfectly organised and went as expected. I would not necessarily recommend sleeping in the cold room at the Ice hotel, since you can anyway visit the rooms, but the hotel itself was great, with awesome excursions and the warm rooms are very comfortable. Tromso was also really beautiful and I wish I could have stayed there a bit longer!

    Experiencing history firsthand through Journaway's well-crafted itinerary was phenomenal. Each stop was educational yet relaxed, especially appreciating the knowledgeable local guides and smooth logistics.
