We had terrific guides: Jan for the hike; Akseli for the Northern Lights; Henry and Joel for the snowmobiling; the dogsledding people; and Thea and Christian for the snowshoeing.

Our Northern Lights experience was EPIC!! We will have to send pictures.

The only negative is that the traditional Lappish meal is served at every excursion, so we ended up eating mashed potatoes, reindeer, lingonberries and pickles over and over again. It's delicious, but it can be tedious to have it every day.

Thank you for your feedback. I’m very happy to hear the experiences - especially the Northern Lights - were such a success, considering that the weather wasn`t promising! I’ll pass your kind words on to the guides.

I also appreciate the note about the meals. That’s useful to know, and I’ll speak with our partners about adding more variety where possible.

It was a pleasure arranging this trip for you. I’d love to see the Northern Lights photos.

Best,
Emerson
