Top Highlights

  • Arctic CathedralIn December Tromso gets no sunrise at all for six weeks.
  • KvaloyaA chase drives to wherever the cloud breaks, sometimes 200 km.
  • Husky kennelsSami reindeer herding here is a live occupation with a land-rights argument behind it, and the guides will tell you about it if asked.
  • Arctic CircleThe glass-roofed cabins mean you can watch for aurora from bed, which matters when it peaks at two in the morning.
  • Frozen lakesFinnish sauna culture includes going straight from 80 °C into a hole in the ice, and people will encourage you.
  • Aurora borealisTwo aurora nights in two countries is what raises the odds from a coin flip to reasonable.

Well paced over 7 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. Solid operator.

Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Hostel nights are basic but clean, and that's what the price says. Simple food, well made, and enough of it.

Everything was arranged properly — transfers, entries, all of it. Nothing fancy about the beds, and nothing wrong with them either. Plenty to eat and they were happy to work around a gluten allergy. Good value for what's included.
