If you love dogs and don't mind roughing it then this is the vacation for you. The income provided to the local economy is the main income for the year. The footprint on the environment is minimal. (more)Ian Curley

The most memorable part of the vacation was not just one thing, but many memories of which - flying down hill trying to control my sledge and not fall off, making snow angels before going back into the sauna, lunch on an open fire on a frozen lake, the views, the noise of the dogs as we got ready in the morning to leave.

Memorable parts? Husky dog sledding and playing with husky puppies Tips? Make sure to pack some spare clothes in a travel bag separate your suitcase as our suitcase didn't make it on the flight from Heathrow (but did turn up the next morning) Local benefits? Definite benefit to local people and communities. Hotel offered purchase of a tree to be planted in their forest which would offset C02 of trip over 10 years. Perhaps would be better if this was included in package (as... (more)Sarah Imms

The husky safari was amazing. Truly memorable with a lifetime full of memories. (more)Srikanth Murthi

The most memorable was all the snow and ice activities - husky sledding, ice fishing, cross country skiing, snowshoeing, snowmobile driving - were great. So different from what you can do in London!

The trip to the wilderness cabin was great fun. Really enjoyable to be able to spend the night out there.

He went the extra mile to adjust things to suit the mix of people on the tour and local conditions. (more)Christopher Lynch

The husky tour is probably my favourite but I enjoyed the Northern Lights, the snowmobile, the snowshoeing, the cross country skiing, the ice hotel, the reindeer!! (more)Sharn Gill

Every day was an adventure, so difficult to single one experience out really, but I'll go for the husky sledding. We expected someone else to be driving - controlling the dogs yourself (though I use the word "control" in the loosest sense) was utterly exhilarating. The accommodation and surroundings were fabulous too. (more)Jonathan Green

The bear watching and having a close encounter with a white-tailed eagle. (more)Robert Bagley

Memorable parts? There were many memorable parts to this vacation, from catching a glimpse of the lights, to riding snow mobiles through the forest at night, to breathing such beautiful clean air. The vacation was magical. Tips? There is no need to buy lots of specialist clothing, just some thermals and a couple of base layers. No need to dress up. Also don't stress about seeing the lights, the vacation is fabulous and if you get to see them its "the icing on the cake", enjoy all the... (more)Gillian McDonnell

A brilliant adventure with lovely hosts, delicious food, the great Finnish out doors and 28 huskies, who could want more? (more)Bianca O

We had a lifetime goal to see the Northern Lights, and we were successful! This happened on a cold snowy night between snow squalls. Magical! (more)Marie Greenbaum

Of the activities, all were superbly family friendly (we were there with 7 and 8 year olds), but the day at the Husky Farm was the most exciting - a four hour husky sledding trip and helping to feed the dogs afterwards. (more)Alison Cutler

… particularly enjoyed the Snow Shoe Wilderness Hike (invigorating, incredibly beautiful) the Husky Sled Ride-Drive (exhilarating), and actually witnessing two extraordinary displays of the aurora, The Northern Lights. (more)John Thomas

Memorable parts? Seeing the most awesome display of the Aurora Borealis on New Year's Eve! How lucky were we? This was the icing on the cake, following four days of exhilarating activities. Tips? It's a fair walk from the lake and hotel to the larger cabins and some activities can be slightly tiring, so make sure you are comfortable in what you are wearing and have some energy! If you wear glasses, take contact lenses. Local benefits? Yes, apart from the snowmobile engines Overall... (more)Jeannette Middleton

Memorable parts? I loved the Autumn colours; walking with the reindeer and learning about and experiencing the local culture and food. The aurora dome was very special ... a must do on the tour!! I just loved everything to be honest. The staff and guides are fantastic. Nothing is too much for them. Tips? Don't go just to see the northern lights because you may not be lucky enough to see them - but there is so much more to this tour/destination that makes it an amazing experience.... (more)Jeanette O

Memorable parts? Aurora and husky safari Tips? Take plenty of thermals. Local benefits? Not sure. The guides certainly had knowledge about the local environment. Overall rating? Very enjoyable. Would perhaps have been nice to have had an extra day to explore or even rest as it felt very “full on” and was tiring, and although I would not have wanted to miss any of the evening activities, an evening just relaxing would have been nice. The staff were helpful, Nina was... (more)Daryl Halsey

Memorable parts? Seeing the kids sledging on proper snow! Tips? Take single use hand warmers with you and use them in your shoes too!! Local benefits? We used a local adventure company which rely on the tourist trade to keep going. Overall rating? Excellent vacation. My 13 year old said it was the best vacation he'd ever been on! (more)Holly Jones

Most exciting part of the vacation was our whole family sledding with the huskies!... Excellent! (more)Faye Drouillard

So many memorable times, but probably snow mobiling to see Father Christmas. (more)Nicola Goddard
