We had so much fun! Well...

Stacey_D, Feb 2026

We had so much fun! Well organized and relaxed trip, and everyone on staff was fantastic. Loved the snowshoe and the lavvvo was warm and comfortable. Plus we had clear skies and saw the aurora!

This was really unique,...

Sasha_A, Dec 2025

This was really unique, and we're glad to have done it, but there is definitely room for improvement. Leveling up on a couple of things could make this a truly exceptional experience. I think this is mostly meant to be an aurora viewing opportunity, and it is a perfect setting if they come out. For us it was very faint, and no one can control that, so it wasn't a problem. However, this is essentially a "B&B" situation and we wish that: 1. There would have been even just two options for lunch and dinner. To assume that everyone will love fish soup for lunch or meatballs for dinner is a big swing. The person making the food was really sweet and seems to really love cooking, but could use some additional training (I say this as a college culinary instructor of 15 years- just saying there's potential!). 2. The snowshoeing was really fun, but quick. Afterward there was a very weird and awkward three hours of time where we couldn't get into our accommodation and had to hang out in the common space in the house. It would have been nice to have some other options or things to keep us busy- a bonfire, more showshoeing, etc... We wanted cozy and these three hours in a small space with 8 other people we didn't know and a raunchy Netflix movie they chose to watch, wasn't hygge. Also maybe if we knew there would be that big gap in time we could have planned ahead, but the activity listing isn't clear about this. 3. We were told that we could go to the beach and explore, but it would have been really nice to have someone guide us there and explain or show us around for a few minutes, especially given that it was very icy and very dark. The steep, icy driveway is so dangerous.

Hi, Thank you for your visit and your feedback, we appreciate it :).Kind regards, Aurora Wonderland

Incredible, a must do!

Dustin_M, Dec 2025

Incredible experience, Jose and his team and amazing. We were fortunate enough to see the northern lights, the lavvo was very warm, and the food was very good.

Eye opening!

PeiLuan_S, Nov 2025

It was an interesting experience! For us City folk Asians, to be able to experience a night under the stars in a Lavvo is unimaginable. Our guide was very knowledgeable, casual and speaks very good English. The food was delicious and feels very local. A note would be that you will have to bring your own toiletries for the shared toilet at the main house.

Thanks so much for visiting us:)

The trip was a really fun...

Paula_P, Dec 2024

The trip was a really fun experience. Even though we didn't get to see the lights because of a snow storm we still enjoyed snow shoeing and the atmosphere.

José y Angie excelentes anfitriones (también los otros dos chicos de los cuales no recuerdo el nombre; una disculpa) La comida deliciosa, tienen una gran conversación nunca se siente incomoda la interacción. Pudimos ver un poco de la aurora por el clima. Si los recomiendo como parte de la experiencia en Trømso. Gracias por la hospitalidad y por los tips.
