I was impressed with Off the map travel from the initial telephone call right through to the holiday itself. We wanted to do a late booking to see the Northern lights, not an easy ask and many other companies were booked out. Katie had the ability to tailor make what I wanted and fit everything in - I never thought I would be able to do everything we wanted but they made it happen. The holiday itself was once in a lifetime and Jonny was on hand at the hotel to help us if we had any questions. I liked the flexibility they offered, the attention to detail they give from being a small company and the options they offer as a company - we would never have stayed in the hotel we did if they hadnt have put us there and it was by far the best hotel in the area - a lot better than the others in Abisko. In summary I recommend this company if you want flexibility, personal attention and the ability to go somewhere that not everyone else goes to. A truly magical holiday.

Very smooth process from the ground up. When I booked everything through the London office there were no surprises and everything was easy and to the point. The more details you give the better your trip will be - I certainly felt that. The itinerary that you get is extremely clear and concise. All details are there and all pick ups / activities were as agreed. Tailor making your trip is well worth it so you get what you want. Off the Map travel can make that happen. Would 100% recommend reaching out to them to plan your next adventure.

We contacted Off The Map Travel from Australia by email and asked them to put together our dream adventure holiday in Lapland to experience the Northern Lights. They very quickly came back with a fantastic itinerary that suited us and we booked it and then just had to wait for the months to go by before we could go. They were brilliant. Everything went smoothly. We didn't have to think really just soak up the wonderful sights. They put us in touch with really interesting guides for different excursions, supplied us with some clothing, picked great accommodation and we think our contact was more than brilliant in giving us information on the Northern Lights and the area and making sure we got the most out of our trip. We were rewarded with a spectacular Aurora one night, which was unbelievable and thanks to our Off The Map guide we were on to it early and had started photographing it before others knew it was happening. We highly recommend them for anyone who wants a great wilderness experience with the most knowledgeable people and in great accommodation. Hope to return from Australia and do an Iceland/Norway adventure with them one day.

This holiday was a trip of life time and from start to finish everything was taken care of by the off the map team, who were not only there at the end of the phone but actually there on site!!! Could not of asked for anything more. A perfect tailored holiday which we chose and off the map travel made a reality. Bjorkliden is the perfect location to experience the stunning wilderness and of course to see the amazing Aurora Borealis!! The hotel and cabins were the very definition of warm of cosy and at a very high standard.

Last year a group of 6 of us set off to the wilds or deepest, darkest Sweden with Jonny and Katie. They kept us up-to-date with the proceedings from the minute we contacted them, to the minute we touched down back in the UK. They organised many activities for us, from dog sledging, to Northern Lights photography sessions at midnight. They were knowledgeable, resourceful, approachable and really went the extra mile-including impromptu visits to the local shops for a sweetie top up, to a brief excursion into Norway. Jonny was the resident eyes on the sky and would inform us of the latest news regarding the aurora spotting and proved invaluable the evening i locked us out of our chalet at 2am. They couldn't have done more for us that week, including swapping their apartments so that we had the better one. I would recommend them to anyone. Andy Barber

We were a party of 6, that wanted to see in the New Year (2013) in style, and with an adventure. We could not have found a better company to go with and make our trip so special. Before we left, Jonny ensured that we had the trip schedule we wanted. All options were discussed and we had a clear plan of what we would be doing, what we needed and what to expect. The itinerary - dog sledding, cross country skiing, Northern Lights photography evening, trip to the ice hotel, snow-mobiling, a night up at the sky station - etc, was fabulous. Something to do every day that fitted within our budget. Outside of the schedule, Jonny and Katie were on hand to chat, advise, give tips and help us in any way they could. They made themselves always available and were more than happy to help. Throughout the trip Jonny and Katie went above and beyond - taking us on additional trips and just being there whenever we needed. Jonny was often out hunting the Northern Lights for us - keen for us to see the best that the lights had to offer. I really cannot praise this company highly enough - and wish them all the very best for their future.

We (the group I travelled with) enjoyed the trip of a lifetime thanks to Jonny our guide (and Katie, behind the scenes) from Off the map travel. We went on excursions, all booked through Off the Map. Each and every one was amazing! The suppliers all loved what they did, the experiences were brilliant... snowshoeing, taking pictures in the National Park, a trip to the Ice Hotel, dog sledding and travelling by ski lift to the skystation! We had been told that this was one of the best places to see the Northern Lights, and they did not lie! We enjoyed a bright Aurora show every night! Jonny from Off the Map really made this holiday for us, putting it together from accomodation to travel recomendations and activity booking. He went out of his way to make sure that every member of the group was happy, felt looked after and more than that by the end he just seemed like one of the group! If you want a Northern Lights Experience holiday I can't emphasise enough that you should book with Off the Map to do it!

We had a fabulous week in Bjorkliden, Sweden organised by Off the Map Travel. They took care of the flights, accommodation and car hire and then arranged activities for our week these included dog sledging, snow mobiling and photographing the Northern Lights with an expert photographer. I would thoroughly recommend them.

Off the Map Travel offer a superb personalised service. They organised all our activities for the week by putting together a range of different activities to participate in as a family. They arranged them so that we would maximise our experience of Swedish Lapland during our 7 day visit. These included driving a sledge pulled by huskies, a skidoo ride in the mountains, skiing lesson, Lights of Lapland evening tour and a visit to the Sky station in Abisko. They had good information of the costs and details of the activities and could offer them all at a competitive rate. Off the Map travel also have good ideas about where to go to see the aurora at their best. They also gave us good local information so that we could easily be self-catered in our chalet. We had a fantastic week and I would not hesitate to book another holiday with them.

Found Off The Map Travel after reading an article written by Jonny. We found them very helpful and informative when setting up our tailored trip to Swedish Lapland and Stockholm. Their online itineraries and partnership with Dial-a-flight worked very well. Our trip was fabulous and memorable, made even better by having Jonny and Katie along with us. They are passionate about the Northern Lights and that extends to their operations and guests. When we head North again, we will definitely use them.

Off the Map Travel planned and guided our group on a trip to Abisko in Sweden to see the Northern Lights. Jonny went above and beyond to make sure that we got everything we wanted from the trip, and more. Our accommodation - a log cabin with an amazing view of Abisko national park - was warm and cosy, with a basic kitchen and comfortable beds. We were always active and it was truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience! I would highly recommend Off the Map Travel to anyone!

We used Off the Map Travel to organise two very special trips involving staff and students from the University of Central Lancashire. Our needs were very tricky as we wanted to film a documentary and make a book. We didn't need to worry as Off the Map organised everything in a very professional way. They went the extra several miles to make the trip really unforgetable. It is really not like using a run of the mill travel agent at all. They will do everything in their power to make the trip a once in a lifetime experience and personal to you/ your group. We saw the Northern Lights, dog sledded across the ice, hiked on snow shoes and went to the aurora sky station. Every minute was unforgetable. We will be using Off the Map for our next project in Greenland. We cannot recommend them enough.
