“The pick‑up point was easy to find, and our guide Harry welcomed us onto the minibus. He was friendly, informative, incredibly skilled at astrophotography, and very passionate about the northern lights. We had a small group and a great driver, Peter. After a 50‑minute drive we reached a fjord beach with clear skies, and the aurora appeared almost immediately. We were given snow suits, and Harry took photos throughout the night.

“Small room with 4 tubs & 2 beer taps. Pretzels also provided. There is no door so other other spa guests kept coming in to look around. Pillow would have been nice. The larger spa experience was a bit overwhelming- no explanation or expectations provided. Very busy with warm indoor pools completely full. No exactly the cleanest either- lots of things floating in the water. The outdoor pool was wonderful! Full but still able to find a place to sit/stand. I also had a 45 minute massage which was really only 30 min and more of a body rub vs massage- I don't recommend. Take your own flip flops &…”
