We had a lovely time from start to finish, even with the initial cloud cover, chatting with the guide and driving around chasing openings in the overcast. Eventually, we got lucky and the clouds parted enough over the mountains and we certainly got an experience of a lifetime. #FeedFelix”

“Everything about the evening was fantastic. Robin was the perfect guide, encouraging us take in the quiet environment of the birch forest in the dark as we walked. Robin pointed out recent and older animal tracks in the snow and gave us information about the trees and local area. It was very magical and ethereal, like the world of Narnia in the snow, and the night sky was so clear and full of stars which were very visible away from the lights of Abisko.
