On our trip we spent our first few days in Tromso. They had a massive fall of snow so snowshoeing and Reindeers were very appropriate and enjoyable. We then caught the Hurtigruten boat from Tromso to Svolvaer in the Lofoten Islands. We left Tromso in a bizzard on the Lofoten which is the oldest boat in the fleet. A real treasure a true heritage boat, all wood panelling and very comfortable. The Lofoten Islands were beautiful and the E10 the road through the islands has to be one of the most scenic routes. Svolvaer had loads of trip to do especially seeing the Sea Eagles was special. We travelled to the end of the islands to Reine which was really pretty and got a wonderful view of the Northern lights from near our Rorbuer. We had an unforgettable trip and will certainly be going back.

High appreciated for exellence arranged trip for us. I have a bit concern but may not related you directly. It would be came from my friend who cooperate with you since begining. It's cost calculation per person, since our group 3 persons but average cost was divided by 3 persons. My friend he enjoy to stay 1 sigle room with our extra cost. I and my nother friend felt that was unfairness. This matter was from my friend he don't ask you to breakdown cost for one person who stay alone. I would like to suggest programe day trip should be arrange more longer time. We appreciated to have big room on the cruise but we prefer twin beds morethan double bed Explore the Arctic guide name is Mr.Marcus Åhlund was exellent , he is northen lighting professional. Overall your arrangment was excellent, we had fantastice vocation in Norway.

We flew from Manchester to Oslo for a night, then to Svolvaer for 3 day, 1 day on a Hurtigruten ship into Tromso and then 4 day. We flew from Manchester to Oslo on Norwegian Airlines, which is low cost airline, but perfectly OK. Then flew SAS from Oslo to Bodo and then Bodo to Svolvaer with SAS. There was a electrical problem with the SAS plane, which meant we where late getting into Bodo, but SAS gave us an amended flight to Svolvaer albeit late. On our arrival Angela at Magnetic North (MN) let us know what of the trips we had booked had been cancelled due to lack of numbers. We where able to ring Angela from Oslo and talk through options, Angela then took it away and looked at options and emailed with additional information, which allowed us to make an informed choice - it meant we did not need to waste time of our own holidays. As where where going to be late to arrive into Svolvaer we rang Magnetic and they let the accommodation know and changed the time the taxi was going to pick us up, which was excellent as the flight arrival time changed 3 times! Our accommodation in Solver was at the Svinoya Rorbuer which is basically a large collection of cabins overlooking either the port or the mountains / fjords. The views where excellent either way and whilst we booked the basic one bedroom cabin, it was warm and the kitchen was clean and tidy with utensils. Only comment was the nearby town was not that nearby to walk. It was a 15 to 20 min walk and a bit more when it was snowing, so I would suggest that you might want to get food as you get the taxi from the airport. The town itself has a fair bit to see and do - in particular the pizzeria in the town was very good. The Hurtigruten was OK - it was 17 hours on a boat, but the scenery was to die for. When we got to Tromso, the hotel that MN had booked was the Scandic hotel on the port. It was excellent and again the window looked straight out on the scenery of the mountains opposite, the arctic cathedral and the port. Magnetic also booked also of our trips and all of them delivered exactly as booked. Overall, we where very pleased with Magnetic, Angela helped us through the booking process and gave us lots of options as to trips, to allow us to make good choices. Norway and Tromso in particular was excellent - and hope to go back very soon.

I would like to thank your for organising our recent holiday in Norway. The accommodation was very comfortable and just what we wanted. On the 25th October we took the sightseeing trip of Lofoten in the morning. Despite the rain we visited many wonderful places. Nothing was too much trouble for the young lady guide and the driver. I am sure they let the trip run well over the agreed time. The food at Svolvaer was spectacular. We had not expected anything like that in the fishermens’ huts complex. The dinner cruise in Tromso harbour was great fun and gave us some glimpses of the northern lights. On the final night the weather forecast was very bad, but we went out all the same and were rewarded by clear skies and wonderful reflections of the northern lights in flat calm water. The photographer was very friendly, helpful and instructive. He showed me how to get some really great photographs and sent one, of the three of us, he took under the northern lights.
