Peace and tranquility. Beautiful forests and still lakes. Wonderful, well cared for and friendly huskies. Superb sauna down by the lake. Just say the overall experience- a great de-stressing vacation. (more)Gerard Newman

This was one of the best breaks I have ever had. I felt completely relaxed and at peace immediately. Wonderful hosts, wonderful setting and an amazing experience. (more)Amanda Fiske

Everything was perfect! The dogs, the way they were cared for, Aki and Suvi who looked after us, the location. The whole vacation was brilliant. And of course the countryside - endless lakes and pine forests. The cabin we stayed in was right on a lake and the views and peace & quiet were breath-taking. (more)Willemina Hagenauw

We were fortunate to have great weather, the sunshine made the colours of the landscape even more beautiful. The places we stayed were simple but this just added to the atmosphere, superb food too and a sauna each evening followed by swimming in the lake on five nights. (more)Sarah Hilling

Memorable parts? Far too many to mention personally - running the Helsinki Marathon (fantastic scenic route!) at the end of the trip was a personal highlight but aside from this I also enjoyed the beautiful scenery of northern Finland and great accommodation throughout the trip. My 4 year old son enjoyed it all too but his favourites were the Angry Birds Kids Theme Park, Husky Sledding, meeting Santa Claus, feeding reindeers, running the Helsinki Mini Marathon for kids, riding the trams...

Memorable parts? Meeting Finnish people and visiting their homes. Tips? Be prepared to go outside your comfort zone, it'll be worth it. Local benefits? We travelled by train in Finland (put ours to shame!), and local businesses definitely benefitted. Overall rating? Wonderful first visit to Finland - it is not just a place to visit in Winter.

One of the best experiences ever, could not recommend this vacation enough. (more)Paul Ashby

Memorable parts? Seeing a total of 5 different wolverines up close in a few hours - amazing when there are only about 150 in the whole country. Tips? Take plenty of memory cards because you'll need them if you are as lucky as I was. Local benefits? Yes - the money went towards the cost of providing a feeding station throughout the year. This feeding station not only supported wolverines but also bears, ravens and other wildlife. Overall rating? Fantastic - the wildlife... (more)Christine Cheney

Memorable parts? Watching wolverines and bears very close. Tips? As you nearly don't sleep at night, it's better to organize a transfer to the next hide instead of driving yourself the hides are very different in term of distance to the bait but also in comfort( some are heated and have good sleepingfacilities, others are terrible and are the same price!!) Local benefits? The owners are all local people so certainly a yes. Overall rating? It's a wildlife tour and that's... (more)Guido Rommens
