It was a nice experience.... - It was a nice experience. Unfortunately, the weather was bad, and tour appeared short. Would also have liked to learn some interesting facts about the dogs and how they are trained etc. But overall a worth-while experience.

Breathtaking experience - This was one of the most incredible experiences I’ve ever had. The staff were lovely, and ensured you were well equipped for the experience. The surroundings were breath taking, a truly fantastic evening. It was surreal being there with the dogs and beautiful nature, to come back to the lodge and be welcomed with a log fire and warm drinks. We highly recommend this experience, and would definitely do it again. Thank you!

Adventure trip of a lifetime! - I had an amazing trip to Alta thanks to Aeventyr. I stayed in the Canyon Hotell in Alta. Nice room and breakfast, great staff and location. I did four activities through Aeventyr- snowshoeing, dog sledding, whale watching rib boat, and snowmobiling. All four were absolutely epic with amazing guides who made sure you were able to make the most of it. The absolute delight was Rose- I somehow ended up as the only person booked on a snowshoeing tour and Rose made it so much fun and made sure I loved every second of it. I also had her on the snowmobiling tour. Her energy and enthusiasm and excitement for the tourists’ experience is just fantastic- thank you Rose and thank you Aeventyr for making a bucket list trip epic!

A truly spectacular experience, a unique way to experience the northern lights in a peaceful environment. - An amazing way to experience the northern lights for the first time ever! The dogs are all very friendly and motivated, it’s a great way to spend an evening and a great adventure into the Finnmark region outside of Alta

Dog sledding / Northern Lights - The transfer driver was very friendly, and the 30 minute ride to the dog sledding site was smooth and comfortable. Upon arrival, the guide greeted us warmly and provided winter gear along with clear instructions. We were lucky enough to have the northern lights appear right from the start. The sledding itself was a lot of fun, taking us through woods and across open fields. Afterward, we had the chance to meet all the dogs, and they were incredibly sweet. Learning about their training and daily routines was interesting and added a special touch to the tour. We ended the evening back at the lodge with a warm drink before the drive back to town. Overall, it was a very enjoyable and memorable experience and I highly recommend it.

Perfect Polarnight - We were lucky to take a clear night at Gargia with cold temperatures and perfect polar lights. The Musher was very friendly and the musher told us all things which were important to know.

We had a great time.... - We had a great time. Linda is very kind and does this with all her heart. Transporter Rose is great and even dropped us off at our Airbnb. It is fantastic to slay for yourself. We did not get to see the northern ligth, but this was only a minor detail. Great experience!

Fantastic experience! - Wow! What a great experience. They went out of their way to make this trip special. The pick-up at the hotel was perfectly timed, then we were off to the mountain lodge which was about 30 min drive through a wonderful snow landscape. Upon arrival at the lodge we were all handed warm suits, socks, boots, gloves and balaclavas to wear. Then it was off to the sledge for the explanation on how to use it. It was really straight forward… The exciting bit started: meeting the dogs. All sledges were tied to trees and we each had 5 dogs in front of our sledge. One person drives the sledge and teams up with the dogs (that is how it is explained) and the other sits on a nice reindeer skin on the sledge. And then… it’s “OK” and you go! At first it takes a few moments to figure out how fast the dogs go and how to break effectively but it is really not hard! And wow what a landscape we went through… it looked like a fairytale landscape! Halfway through the route we changed driver and then we even saw two moose in the dark. The guide was very good at warning us, and in general regularly checking in during the trip, and patiently waited until the moose had run off. Then it was back to the lodge, but not until we visited the puppy’s! They were so cute. We got nice warm lemonade and chocolate at the lodge and there was a roaring fire to warm up. On the way back to Alta,the Northern Lights suddenly appeared and so the driver stopped at a good spot and gave us all the time for photos! It was absolutely amazing! Highly recommend this trip!!

Fantastic experience!! - What a great experience getting to guide and ride our own sled! It was a little chaotic at the beginning but we quickly got the hang of it. We were able to interact with the dogs and puppies and the guides were very good at answering our questions. Bonus— on the drive back to the hotel the driver stopped in the road and we saw a spectacular northern lights show! Very good experience and would highly recommend!!
