A fantastic trip once in a lifetime. Thought had been given to allow my husband and I who both have mobility problems to enjoy this experience. The accommodation and trips were first class, gained so much insight into the Sami people. Transfers were prompt using good vehicles. The northern lights were amazing, glad we took a tour to learn how to spot and photograph them. Ice hotel wonderful,even more special as met Betsies creator. Would not hesitate to book with magnetic north travel again.a special thank you to Kirsi.

Sadly, we didn't see the Lights - but that's an excuse to go to the Far North again! We fell in love with the beautiful scenery and the friendly people of Kiruna. The food at the Camp Ripan restaurant was very, very good. Breakfast and dinner was included in the price of our holiday but a look at the menu shows it is expensive, as things are in Sweden; you are paying for excellent quality and very good service. Our cabin was basic but clean and very warm. Our view (of a wire fence) was a little disappointing. But our outing on a dog sled was a real highlight - a wonderful day with an amazing guide who taught us so much about the local flora and fauna in particular, including how to recognise tracks in the snow, and nature and conservation in general. And our visit to the Icehotel was very interesting. Again we had a good guide. We would recommend both of these outings and, having spoken to other guests, it seems a visit to the space research station is also worthwhile. Snow mobiling looked fun, but it's a little too noisy and non natural for us. We were told the local ski slope was fun. We would recommend this holiday - but suggest that if you're hoping to see the Northern Lights from your cabin, you specify that you want a north-facing window, otherwise you could be there but unaware that the Aurora was in the sky.

Thank you for a well organised and hassle free trip to Camp Ripan in Kiruna. The cabins were exactly what my wife and I had in mind when we booked the trip - simple but very cosy. The hotel spa was outstanding and the restaurant food was decent. Unfortunately the chair lift at the Abisko Sky Station broke, so a visit was not possible, but we were offered a refund and the opportunity to re-book another activity, which we both appreciated. The cross-country skiing was hugely enjoyable, and many thanks to the instructor who came out in -27* and with a smaller group than normal so that we wouldn't be disappointed. We would use both Magnetic North and Camp Ripan again.
