One of the most incredible trips we’ve ever had the privilege of taking. Every day and place was just stunning, from Preikestolen and Lysefjord to Lofoten (our favorite, but doesn’t diminish the beauty of the rest of the country) followed by the Lyngenfjord Alps, whale/orca safari and the northern lights. One of the most beautiful countries with wonderful people. We will definitely return. Thank you for all the help you gave in making it such a memorable and beautiful experience 🙏

HATTVIKA LODGE

An incredible place with great staff and access to outdoor activities from heaven! Additionally, the restaurant there, Fangst, is seriously good! The owner Kristian and his team there do an incredible job (while living somewhere pretty close to heaven at least for me :)

Glass Igloo Lyngen North
Lyngen

Staying at the Glass Igloo Lyngen North was an indredible experience. Lying in a glass hut, watching the Northern Lights was just outrageous. It’s hard to put the experience into words, but everything about our stay here was perfect. I couldn’t imagine a more unique way to experience Norway.

Scandic Ishavshotel
Tromsø

The Scandic Ishavshotel was just a large chain hotel without much character. We stayed only about eight hours, so it was fine for a brief rest, but certainly didn’t stand out like other unique accommodations on our trip.

The Northern Lights Sailing Cruise was a wonderful experience despite the rain. Sitting in a hot tub on the Norwegian Sea was crazy, though we didn’t see the Northern Lights. The crew was fantastic, and we still had a great time.

Dear Chris,
Thank you very much for your lovely review.
What a special feeling to hear you have had one of the most wonderful trips ever. You were well informed about this country and already knew what to visit. You made my work easy and exciting at the same time.
I hope you will decide to visit Norway again. I would be honored to help you plan a second adventure here.
I wish you, Susan, and your family, all the best.
