Northern Lights of Scandinavia - Small Group

Good explorations to Artic circle and north cape.

It's good that we spend at least 7 days above the arctic circle improving the chances of seeing the northern lights.

It was good, at times a little busy. Possibly should have an extra day in Oslo as by the time we arrived on the plane, we were rushed through the Flam museum, this needed much more time to explore properly. The hotel in Tromso The Moxy whilst close to the airport, was disappointing, the lack of anywhere to wait for check in especially as it was raining, was a design flaw as was their lack of staff at breakfast, so tables weren’t cleared or clean and the food not refilled. The fact that it was not central to town did not allow us to explore at our leisure and had to rely on the bus to shuttle us. The reindeer feeding and cultural experience may not be for everyone, and people need to be warned to wear old clothes as the reindeer push and shove as well as put hooves on you and as it was very muddy, many of us had mud all over our clothes. People who are less stable may be at risk of a fall. The northern lights safari option is very expensive and if the weather is poor the supplier should cancel and not collect money for nothing. There are plenty of opportunities to view the lights. The cruise was excellent and well worth the price. The King crab experience was overpriced it would be better to just go to a local restaurant and sample some. The meal portion was small and not that tasty. Overall the trip was great we saw the lights on 3 occasions and we had snow.

It was a perfect itinerary for the northern lights , but we needed an extra time in the Arora Village where the location and the stay was very nice

Very good itinerary. Spending lots of nights inside the Artic circle so that many chances to see the northern lights are there. We were able to see it on three nights.
