Katie has been very responsive and helpful in planning our perfect trip. There were so many highlights from our trip. The Northern lights tour guides were knowledgeable and so much fun to spend the evening with watching the northern lights. Anastasia was fabulous. Our lodgings were perfect. All were so unique and easy access to everything we needed. They did a great job finding the right fit for our family. Our favorite place was the Norweigan Wild. Our glacier hike was a special memory. We had a personal guide who was knowledgeable and friendly. We were so thankful for his skills. Be prepared for a work out and bring a good backpack. Our captain for our Lyngen boat safari found the fishing spot and shared the history of the area. We had a wonderful meal of Coal Fish. Thank you KimKim!

Our favorite! The northern lights cabins were insta worthy. Can't describe the beauty from our deck and large windows. Northern lights dancing over head and hot tubs to relax after hiking. The owner is friendly and so helpful. The staff in the café made special pizza at our request. Breakfast was very generous. Location can't be beat for access to national park across the road

Quaint town with a great location on the water. It was busy with fishing groups but never loud or a problem. It was fun to watch them come in and visit about their catch of the day. The location is close to hiking trails. Amazing views and northern lights from our deck.

Unique experience in beautiful cabins. Probably only needed one cabin for the whole family of 5. Owners are entertaining and helpful. Very generous with use of space and helped us with ingredients for our fish fry. Check out the handmade sweaters the owner makes. They are amazing. So special they were handmade
