Amazing experience, lovely cosy cabins with great facilities, superb views, we were lucky and got Northern Light shows both nights. Staff amazing, when the bus were expecting back to Tromso was cancelled, one of the lads there (Alex? Lad from Greece) on his day off, took us and our luggage back there FOC!! Lovely people, breakfast delivered to your cabin was a lovely touch. Great Sauna on site & the dinner we had one night in the Lapu (A big tent with a fire in the middle) was really nice & good...
