Magnetic North Travel Opiniones 

Helpful travel agent provided exactly the off-grid holiday I was after. Easy car hire, a variety of luxury and affordable accommodation. Excursions were perfect as a solo traveler. Zero complaints. All excellent. If you’re after a bespoke Nordic holiday, this THE company to speak to.

This destination had been on my radar for some time and it lived up to all expectations. Mind you we were blessed with exceptional good weather. There were simply no negative points. The three hotels chosen were excellent and well situated. Suggested itinery was busy but the holiday never felt rushed. This destination is definitely for those who appreciate wildlife, fantastic scenery and a relaxed way of life. Certainly not for the beach and disco crowd.

They planned a fantastic trip for us to Scandinavia! Each destination was well planned with the perfect balance of pre scheduled activities and free time to explore on our own. The hotels they selected were lovely and the guides in each location great! The timing of our trip was just right. They found the “sweet spot” with warm enough weather, but before the destinations were inundated with cruise ships! They provided us with an app that had our daily schedule with all necessary details so the information was readily available it even included maps of each city/area we visited. They were always available in case of snafus! I would definitely use them to plan another trip to Scandinavia if we are fortunate enough to return to this magnificent area. There is always more to explore!

Where to begin? Our trip was so amazing it’s hard to choose the highlight so I’ll begin at the beginning. We were originally booked to leave March of 2020 and we all know how that went. Laura at Magnetic North kept moving our trip each year til we were finally able to go this year. Every single detail was taken care of and executed flawlessly. We had private drivers multiple times traveling throughout Norway and Finland and they were always there right on time. Each of our accommodations only got better and better from wonderful city locations in Oslo and Helsinki to the remotest spots in Kierkenes and Inari, glass igloos in Levi and culminating in the poshest nests at the Arctic Treehouse in Rovaniemi. We were amazed and delighted each stop from being picked up at the Kierkenes airport by husky taxi and delivered to the Snowhotel after the most peaceful 45 minutes of hearing nothing but the excited yip of the dogs and the sounds of their paws hitting the snow to standing on a frozen lake in Inari watching a 360 degree display of the northern lights to a peaceful reindeer sleigh ride through the woods at night. That’s not to mention all you can eat king crab pulled from the icy fjord, the private snowmobile ride to a frozen lake side fairy tale cottage for hot berry juice and home made pastries. Magnetic North orchestrated a trip of a lifetime that was more than we ever expected, even after anxiously awaiting it for three years. If you want to experience the Arctic Circle like something straight from a movie, book with Magnetic North. I promise, you won’t be sorry.

A wonderful trip to Norway. Expertly administered by Magnetic North. Highly recommended.

A very well organised trip by Magnetic North. Exceptional viewing of the northern lights at Malangen. Very good trips from the hotel feeding the reindeer and dog sledding particular fun. The food was good especially breakfast. The staff were friendly and helpful. We stayed in a cabin which was well furnished, super clean and well maintained. Recommend highly. Many thanks 😊

This is the second holiday Annie has organised for us and both were excellent would highly recommend this company . Accomodation , flights , transfers and excursions were all arranged and all went to plan .

I just got back from a great trip to Iceland. This was the 2nd trip that Laura at Magnetic North set up for me. The first being my trip to Finland last year. All of the excursions that were set up for me were an amazing experience- The husky sledding, the glacier hike, lava cave, glacier ice cave, outdoor hot baths and all of the beautiful scenery of Iceland.

Laura worked well with my guide to help navigate the varying weather conditions to make sure my trip around Iceland wasn’t affected. I would highly recommend Laura and Magnetic North to set up your Northern experience.

Magnetic North Travel has proved to be a very caring competent company - keeping us well informed of arrangements. When arrangements had to be changed at short notice because of inclement weather conditions- clearly beyond their control- we were kept well notified and we were very promptly and generously compensated: a very refreshing response in this day and age!
Magnetic North Travel and their contact, Laura Greenman, could not have been more helpful and obliging throughout.
Five stars for Magnetic North Travel and their brilliant staff!

We had a fantastic time on the Havila round trip up and down the Norwegian coast. The scenery and Northern Lights were amazing; the ship was excellent & eco friendly; and the staff brilliant.
Annie Fredvang at Magnetic North was an amazing travel arranger for us. She has unbeatable local knowledge of Norway and was a pleasure to deal with throughout.
Annie safely guided us through a change in dates and was always available and invested in the success of our trip.
We usually travel independently but on this occasion it really paid off to use an expert. We have already recommended Annie to friends and would do so again.

Very useful info in advance, quick responses, very friendly and helpful. Great trip to a wonderful resort in Nellim with great activities. Smooth organisation and transfers. Thank you.

From our initial enquiry Annie was helpful and informative and put together a package to suit us. We had a wonderful few days away in the Wilderness Hotel Muotka, the excursions were fabulous and the accommodation and food was excellent. The app with all the information itinerary and links was really helpful. We were very lucky to see the northern lights on two evenings. I would highly recommend Magnetic North Travel and would certainly book with them again.

Annie organised the perfect weekend for me and my daughter according to the brief I outlined...fabulous accommodation, great skating experience and seamless organisation.

An incredible Icelandic adventure with Magnetic North Travel: We were matched to fantastic hotels, pointed to some superb dining experiences and a 'bucket list' of adventures. When the weather turned and plans needed adapting to avoid the storms MNT worked their magic and pulled some brilliant rabbits out of the hat. Lifetime memories, a superb experience from a professional team. Thank you!

The trip was amazing Most important was the places she picked were first class. Hotel/accommodation great and food fantastic. Laura was also really responsive to questions before and during the trip. The WhatsApp link and the MNT app combined made for a really easy to manage trip. Thank you! 😊

I liked the personnal touch we did have some problems on our holiday and Annie was always available to help. Both the hotels we stayed in were also really lovely. However overall we were disappointed with the holiday. We had specifically gone with this company as they advertised ice skating and had made it very clear that our purpose in going was to be able to skate on outside ice. I feel we were not given correct information at all about the chances of being able to ice skate (we did no ice skating at all -but were told there was 90% chance or more of skating- when we arrived this was patently not the case) and if we had been give this information we would have probably selected a different place and operator in Scandinavia with whom we had previoulsy travelled and skated with

Magnetic North Travel organised the honeymoon of our dreams in the Arctic - from the accommodation to the outings and activities, everything was tailored to what we wished to do. While we didn’t get to see the Northern Lights (the weather was fairly overcast throughout), our contact Annie did everything she could to help us move outings around so we could still do everything and have something to do everyday. We appreciated having such a kind and helpful interlocutor, and that the trip was so well and thoroughly organised. The locations we visited (Tromsø and Svolvær) were stunning. We’ll particularly remember the sea eagle safari in Svolvær and our stay in a rorbu cabin. All in all, we strongly recommend Magnetic North Travel!

Amazing!!! From first contact with Laura our holiday was organised and incorporated everything we wanted. Magnetic Nrtoh went above and beyond to make our holiday amazing. The travel App was fab and helped us manage our intinerary, everything ran smoothly and to time. We are already planning our next trip with them. Thank you.

Laura and Annie provided an amazing service in arranging flights, hotel, cruise and excursions for my ‘bucket list’ trip to Norway! Communication was prompt and clear, and they were very patient in answering my never-ending list of questions. The whole process was seamless from beginning to end and I cannot fault the service I received. I highly recommend using Magnetic North for your travel arrangements! They were excellent!

Huge thanks to Laura for organising a wonderful trip to Northern Norway for my friend and me! We loved our short stay in pretty Tromsø and would recommend the cable car excursion to the top of the mountain and visiting the peaceful and inspiring Arctic cathedral. The Arctic Panorama Lodge overlooking the spectacular Lyngen fjord where we spent the following three nights is beautiful, stylish, warm, comfortable, and homely. We were made extremely welcome by the lovely owners who looked after us so well with delicious homemade meals and transported us to our excursions. We loved husky sledging through snowy forests and were lucky enough to see orcas and humpback whales on our whale watching trip. The Northern lights made an appearance too, and although they were not particularly colourful, we were fortunate to have seen them. Everyone we met throughout our stay was friendly and helpful. I thoroughly recommend Magnetic North and Laura for her expertise and friendly support. Thank you! Helen
