I literally don't know where to start - the entire holiday was fabulous from start to finish. Off the Map travel put together a fantastic tailor made itinerary for us and responded super quick to every single query we had during the months leading up to the trip. They sorted a brilliant alternative for us when the airline decided to change the flight times and we couldn't get to Kiruna on the Saturday - we had a lovely day and night in beautiful Stockholm en route. I was so pleased to know that Off the Map had everything under control and sorted it out for us - I didn't even have time to panic! We had an action packed week in Bjorkliden, again everything smoothly handled and co-ordinated by the smiling team at Off the Map. We visited the Ice Hotel, took the chair lift up to the Sky Station, travelled by Husky sled across the beautiful arctic countryside, had an exhilarating trip up to Lakta driving snow mobiles, tried skiing, learnt how to photograph Aurora and my favourite trip of all rode in a snowcat up to Laktatjakko Mountain Lodge. Not only were we treated to very delicious waffles but the Aurora decided to treat us to the most magnificent display! I did feel very special when I learnt that this trip is actually exclusive to Off the Map - it's a great feeling doing something not many people get to do! Even though the week was action packed, I came away from this holiday feeling more relaxed than I have ever done, it really is another world and the ultimate getaway from every day stress. This was probably helped by the extremely comfortable cabin that we stayed in and the idyllic peacefulness of the resort.. at times it felt that we were the only people there! Just being able to wander out at night and watch incredible Aurora displays was priceless. We were staying on a half board basis and the food was utterly delicious - buffet breakfast that catered for every taste and the 2 course menu of the day in the evening. We had no idea what we were going to be served each night until we got there but the staff were very accommodating in providing alternatives when necessary (my husband is dairy intolerant). I really cannot thank Katie, Jonny and the rest of the Off the Map team enough for providing what we all unanimously decided was the best holiday we have ever had (and we've had some good ones!). We loved it so much that we have booked again next year! Helen Craig-Jones
