I was finally in Ivalo and being picked up from the airport. From that point onward it felt like I was holidaying at a friend's place. Everything was thought of, from toilet stops on long drives, shopping for snacks to adaptations for my mobility disability. The accommodation is beautiful, each cabin with its own sauna, a view out over Norway and, if you're lucky as I was, a pretty much nightly display of the Aurora Borealis. If you're not a photographer then there is no need to worry as the team were always there to document your experiences. If you are, as I am, there is plenty of knowledge to learn from in the team. If the aurora isn't your thing (how can they not be) there are amazing excursions and experiences for you to take part in, from dog sledding to an arctic ocean sauna experience. The team are flexible and adaptable making sure that everyone on the trip enjoys their day to the max. Oh and I cannot not mention the food! Locally sourced reindeer meat, any dietary requirement catered for, tasty and plentiful, whats not to like. If you are looking to book a holiday to see the Aurora Borealis, or even just to experience Sami life in the Arctic Circle, I cannot recommend Aurora Holidays enough. A huge thank you to Tiina, Mikka and the team!

My wife and I travelled to Finland on aurora adventure to fulfill her lifelong dream of seeing them. We were met by the welcoming smiles of Tiina and Sonja. Since this is a family business, the level of service, kindness and attention was just amazing throughout the entire 5 nights! The cabin was a delight and exactly what we hoped for since we are from a tropical climate and sensitive to cold weather: clean, super cozy, spacious, and even with warm flooring! The restaurant is also very beautiful where Tiina prepared delicious food for us and was always attentive to our allergies and preferences. Thanks to their nightly watchfulness, we were able to see the auroras during three nights, one of which was specially breathtaking and otherworldly. I ve already recommended Aurora Holidays to all of my family and friends that dream of making an aurora hunting trip from Central America.

We were lucky enough to spend a week with Tiina and co and it was genuinely the best 5 days of my life! We had lights every night, the team were incredible and the food was out of this world. I have multiple food allergies and Tiina made sure everything I had was safe but still delicious - this is the ONE place I have been to and felt 100% safe while eating. The activities were awesome, the team were so friendly and welcoming, and the location is just incredible. Wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this trip to friends and family. It is SO worth it. Thank you so much to Tiina and everyone at Aurora Holidays, you made our bucket lists and our hearts so full! Would love to come back some day!

Aurora Holidays is fantastic! They are family run and tend to pretty much everyone of your needs. They are also incredibly knowledgeable about the Northern Lights and will take you see the lights where it is best on any given night. And because it is located in a more remote part of Lapland, the odds that you can see the lights right outside of your cottage are really high! The activities that Aurora offers are also amazing... From dipping in the Arctic ocean to dog sledding in the Tundra, it is all very carefully selected. The cottages are spacious, light and airy, which is so nice when it is dark outside! But the best part of Aurora Holidays is the people who run it... they really make you feel like family!
