What can you do at sunrise from Vilnius Lithuania 🇱🇹? The answer: take a ride in a hot air balloon. Our Russell was lucky enough to try this trip last week observing the start of autumn colours in the forests beneath. 🍂 🧡 We’re beyond excited to be welcoming the Baltic countries into our programs.

Hello Fall 🍂 Images of hiking in the spectacular Jotunheimen National Park in early September. Our founder covered over 40 miles on a four day hiking adventure testing the route for our clients who'll be joining our guided and self-guided adventures in summer 2025. She experienced all weathers as she traversed glacial valleys and climbed panoramic summits. If you'd like to join us next year, take a look at our itinerary 👇

A culinary journey through Scandinavia and an opportunity for team building at Eksted at the Yard in London this evening. We were invited to witness Colchester oysters being cooked in the fire for the first course of the meal. From there we covered many flavours and sensory experiences inspired by Scandinavia’s varied larder.

Thank you to the wonderful Luk family for sharing some memories of their recent adventure to Iceland. Our team arranged every kind of hot and cold experience imaginable! Geothermal bathing, snorkeling between the tectonic plates, super jeep adventures, glacier lagoon exploration, snowmobiling and a hike inside the volcano to name but a few. Thank you for these wonderful photos!

Our Annie has been living in the UK for over 6 years but still calls the Lofoten Islands home. So easy to see why! She sent these photos to the team from Unstad, Rorvik and Kabelvåg. Dreamy landscapes. Oh and thankfully Annie came back to her “second home”. 😊

The last of the team Spring adventures has taken founder Laura to Jasper National Park in Alberta, Canada this week exploring new trip itineraries for 2025. It seemed like there was wildlife around every corner: bears, moose, elk, eagles - amid spectacular mountain scenery. The journeys were varied: ebike, motorbike (sidecar), helicopter and hiking. Just wow! We're looking forward to bringing these treats to our clients.

Today started with an early morning dip in the Tromso fjord for our Yasmin, who, since joining the MN team has discovered a love for cold water dipping (and floating!). She’s a tough cookie for sure. ♥️

Braving the elements to bring us a snapshot of the Sognefjord as she awakens from her winter slumber, our Sophie enjoyed a spring adventure in the Norwegian fjords last week.

Among the many highlights, spring sunshine and a locally crafted cider proved to be a perfect combination, along with a RIB safari to a hidden branch of the Sognefjord. This region of Norway is a spectacular setting for an adventure all year round as Sophie found out. For inspiration visit our trip itinerary below and get in touch with our expert team to craft your perfect trip.

"Not all Norwegians were born with skis and not all kids like skiing."

A simple fact demonstrated by our Annie and our Harry whilst enjoying their respective multi activity adventures in Finland recently. Annie loves the revs of the snowmobile and the dash of the dogs. Whilst Harry loves to fish, meet the husky pups and the reindeer. Skiing isn’t for them. And guess what! We can please all people all the time! It just takes a little Magnetic North wizardry to give the downhill skiers their fill on the slopes while the rest of the gang immerse themselves in outdoor adventuring.

We're here to help make your multi-generational, multi-interest group dynamic work beautifully with parallel and shared adventures throughout. Read some top tips on our blog below and get in touch to start planning winter 2024/25!

So good to try out the new Masto slopes at Ruka Ski Resort, what a treat. All we have to say is the snow is good, the weather is good and we are having a lot of fun! Winter 2025 now booking!

Our intrepid clients have just tested the delights of our brand new adventure at Highland Base. So few get to experience Iceland's frozen interior in deepest winter and boy did they have an adventure! When the transfer can take anything between 2 and 8 hours, a flexible mindset is essential which these clients exuded. The hotel offers seclusion and luxuries like the hot pools and fabulous restaurant. They also snapped the latest volcanic action from the aeroplane. Thank you for sharing your adventure!

Today we're celebrating Sámi National Day which marks the date when the first Sámi congress was held in Trondheim in 1917. We're ever grateful for the many memorable encounters with Sámi people we enjoy on our travels and which we enable for our clients, whether in Finland, Norway or Sweden.

We're excited about a unique program in Swedish Lapland we've designed which includes a stay at the wonderful Sapmi Nature Camp where you can spend time with a Sámi family and learn about life with their herd of reindeer. This program can be adapted for summer and Fall as well as deepest winter:

Braving the elements brings great rewards, proving that kayaking in winter is as much about attitude as it is aptitude. In fjord Norway you can often witness thick snow on one side of the mountains and on the other, the first signs of spring - best viewed from the water! On this trip guests combined skiing and kayaking on the same adventure which we think is awesome. 🛶⛷️

Let’s talk about the Faroe Islands folks. Our Annie has just returned and captured these beauties. We’re serious when we say, if you’d like to experience these islands in 2024, you need to get your ⛸️s on!
Get in touch and we’ll share some visionary itinerary ideas.

Today is Cinnamon Bun Day! We're looking back over our favourite bun moments of 2023, in Sweden! Whether that's a gigantic Hagabullen in Gothenburg, or a fresh bake over the fire during an Autumnal wilderness hike. Fika has many moments of joy, and we love them all!

Experience the Magnetic North

There's a reason why travellers book their holidays with destination specialists like ourselves. Ever since our founder spent her honeymoon in Scandinavia, she knew that the region had endless possibilities for adventure, wilderness, and encounters - both of the human and wildlife kind.

Here at Magnetic North Travel we’re continually searching for the best experiences throughout the Nordic countries and Canada, trying many of them ourselves so we can offer you real, first hand advice. This love for a region will never be diluted by yet more destinations - only deepened and updated every day by our team.

Your holiday starts with a conversation so we can listen to your dreams and design a holiday to match those dreams. Think of us as your inspiration, planners and back up.
