    “The tour and guide were great. The highlight was the beach and picnic. We never expected to have such a delicious array of food when we arrived. The beach is beautiful and plenty of time was given to enjoy a relaxing picnic as well as a dip in the cool water if desired. I would definitely recommend it.”

    “Wonderful views! We had great weather, so we could really enjoy everything! The guide explained everything very clearly and accurately — truly professional! I highly recommend it. I think I’ll return during the polar night to see how it looks then. I was also very pleased with the picnic — lots of different delicious items, and most importantly... definitely fresh!”
