“The far north on a smaller budget and a shorter itinerary”
Shorter northern trips from a single base, for people who want the Arctic without the expedition price.
Well paced over 6 days with enough free time to not feel herded. Meals were good throughout and the vegetarian options weren't an afterthought. Solid operator.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Dorms were tidy and the common areas were where the group actually gelled. Never went hungry, and the tea appeared exactly when it was needed. Solid operator.
Thank you. We've taken the point about the transfer and are reviewing it.
Good mix of the obvious things and a few places we'd never have found. Whoever planned the days knew what they were doing. No hesitation recommending them.
Appreciate the honest feedback; we're looking at the pacing on that section.
Hotels were a step below what I expected for the price. The lead was calm and knew when to slow the group down.
Thanks for writing this up. We've passed your note to the team.
The fjord roads involve long ferry queues and tunnel tolls, and the best sections — the Flam railway, the Naeroyfjord, the plateau crossing — are not roads at all. A car would cost more and see less.
