Best Things to Do in Arctic Ocean

Iconic Attractions & Hidden Gem Travel Experiences

Arctic Ocean

Often called the Arctic Sea, the Arctic Ocean -- though ranking as the smallest of the world’s five oceans -- covers much of the north polar regions of the earth. Most travelers will encounter it on small-ship expeditions to Greenland, Iceland, or northern Norway, including the islands of Svalbard; on polar bear watching tours to Churchill, Canada; or perhaps on trips to Barrow, Alaska. Parts of Russia also border on the Arctic Ocean.

you have us one of the best memories of our lives.
"We were under Nico, and our driver Kaitsu.
our trip to Lapland was truly an adventure to remember.
Accommodation was fantastic, it was Panimo cottage house, comfortable, cozy and close to the town area.
Nico was thoughtful and always given us the best options and we truly enjoyed his sense of humor and charisma. His personality was an asset to the company.
His knowledge was rich.
Kaitsu , our driver was organised and , of course, a fantastic and a safe driver.
even though, we weren't able to witness the beauty of aurora, it was all down to luck and the condition of the weather of that night. no big deal! we were not upset, mother nature!
we highly recommended to everyone who seeks adventure and the courteous treatment from the staff.
Thank you! you have us one of the best memories of our lives.
From, Soong Kiang Chng, Melvin Yuen and Gerard , from Panimo 1, travel dates from 22nd to 28th Dec 2019."

Thumbs up!
Lapland - Saariselkä was calling! Timetravels gave us a wonderful time by planning everything perfectly. All the additional activities we had booked were perfectly timed. Every cent was worth it. The day in Norway (artic ocean activity) as well as the Husky Safari were absolutely great. These days were unforgettable and the memories remain forever. Thanks to the Timetravels team for organizing everything so perfectly. Thumbs up!

The whole trip was amazing!
We went to the trip to Lapland with Timetravels!! The whole trip was amazing. Safe bus driving, helpful staff, informative explanations for different activities, also the wonderful views really made our trip different and so enjoyable. I do recommend other students or even just people who want to have a look of the view of Lapland join in this valuable trip. Sometimes it really made you feel amazed when we see views seems from another planet. Thank you again for all staff who help a lot during the tour. You are the best part plus all lovely roommates in cottage!

lifelong memories!
"I really enjoyed my trip to Lapland from 23/11/2019 to 29/11/2019.
I had never thought I would have gone to the arctic circle in my life but I had the opportunity thanks to Time Travels..
I had a lot of activities in Sariseelka and most of them were amazing. We went to Santa Claus village and Bugøynes as well. It is exactly like how I thought it was: breathtaking. You know, you cannot swim in the arctic ocean every day after a real Finish sauna.
We were lucky because our guide was Nico who is awesome. He is very friendly and professional and we loved to spend our time with him. He was more than a guide because he was like a close friend.
The accommodation was very cool as well. Maybe it is too small but it is cozy and very nice. We enjoyed the fireplace and the rooms too. It is nice to throw yourself in the snow after the sauna (in our cottage) instead of having a shower.
If you think of doing this trip, just be prepared to a very long time in the bus. It is uncomfortable and some of them do not have plugs. Think about taking a pillow with you to sleep during this time and a power bank too
The coolest thing about this time I spent there is the fact that you are going there without any worries (maybe just about the cold) thanks to Time Travels surrounded by other students like you, speaking in English and coming from different countries.
It was a really nice trip! We also saw weak northern lights the last day!!
Thank you Time Travels for those lifelong memories!"
