Winter vacations in Lapland
Tours & vacations in 2019 & 2020

The dog sledding was the most memorable. (more)James Harrison

The glass igloo and the Aurora restaurant was the highlight of the trip. We got to enjoy a few hours of clear night sky and a full moon before the clouds came over, and whilst we didn't get to see the northern lights, it was still fantastic. (more)Jodie Potts

The food, northern lights and the moose sightings, also the friendly and most hosptialable reception from all the staff. And oh the accommodation, so warm, clean and stylish with amazing views. (more)Karen Gibson

One of the best trips I have been on. Very well organized and the guides were very good. (more)Dan Cashman

It is difficult to single out one particular aspect of this most memorable vacation. The landscape was stunning from the snow-covered vastness and tranquility to the clear unpolluted skies where the colours were vivid and pure by day and revealed so many stars at night along with the magnificent Aurora displays. (more)Janet Morris

The wonderful scenery, peace and quiet! Wonderful! (more)Gill Smith

Seeing our boys faces when we woke them at 1am to go to the airport after having over 11 months of build up and anticipation!! (more)Miriam Ross

Its the best!!!! I can't imagine anything better than this. (more)Chenlan Wang

Memorable parts? Being out in the frozen wilderness with the dogs was an incredible experience! But coming back in from the cold to the warmth and comfort of Saija Lodge (plus the sauna!) was a treat. Tips? You will need to have a certain level of fitness to be out all day with the dogs, some of the driving is tricky and pretty tiring. There are plenty of other activities to enjoy at Saija Lodge if the dogs aren’t your thing. Local benefits? Yes absolutely. Overall rating? Wonderful!... (more)Alexandra Fowler

The most memorable part of the vacation was: Snowmobile, over night husky safari... We had an amazing experience. (more)Janelle Kavanagh

It was a dream come true. The 2 days Husky Safary and Snowmobiling were my favorite but probably only because the Reindeer trip was too short and did not have time to really appreciate it. (more)Silvia Moschetti

It was all so wonderful but I think the peace and quiet of Pine Lodge was the most memorable. (more)Gillian Tyropois

The highlight were the huskies. Amazing, would do it again. (more)Ken Liew

The stunning views whilst sledding in such silence. The dogs get so excited before you set off and its incredibly noisy but as soon as they go it's silence. (more)Jennifer Atkinson

The most memorable was working with my dog team on a daily basis and sitting around the dinner table with everyone in the evening. (more)John Maurice Bell

The reindeer trip, the snow shoe walks and the cross-country skiing on the beautiful frozen lake were all highlights, as was the pristine snow in such an unspoilt location. (more)Caroline Brooks

The whole vacation was simply amazing but the Husky safari was my very favourite... Fantastic! (more)Pauline Wright

The most memorable part of the vacation was seeing the northern lights. (more)Susan Benson

The most memorable was snowshoeing on the fell above Luosto in a winter wonderland, leading a team of Huskies and snowmobiling in the dark. An excellent vacation, good accommodation, great activities, wonderful food. (more)Paul Moran

Of course we loved, loved, loved seeing the aurora and the dog sledding was incredible. (more)Adele Weiss

Excellent activities. The highlight for me was the dog sledding experience. All other activities were of an exceptional standard as well. 10 out of 10. A fantastic vacation with great activities and a superb hotel with great food. (more)Ian Davenport

Excellent. I'd be happy to go back to Nellim again. (more)Malcolm Raggett

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! Would have been even better if the Northern lights had appeared while we were there but that's not under anyone's control. (more)Mark Harris

The husky tour, the tipi warm up snack times & quite simply, the amount of snow everywhere! (more)Michelle Adonis

I rate it as one of the most memorable vacations of our family! (more)Elsa Debono

The most memorable part was definitely the husky Safari on Christmas Day - this was truly magical. I was quite nervous about driving the sleigh at the start but once I relaxed it was breath taking and something special (more)Gemma O’Sullivan

The whole vacation was simply magical from the husky and reindeer rides to meeting Santa Claus in Lapland. Staying a night in the Snow hotel was also an experience of a lifetime! (more)Christina Chan

… 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

The whole trip was memorable. A great place with great people and just the right amount of activities. Husky sledding, snow mobiles and snow shoeing amongst others, and a very special New Years Eve. (more)Frank Wells

The whole day and evening of New Year's Eve: Reindeer farm and sled ride, lunch in the ice restaurant and the evening's entertainment and fireworks. All of this and the Northern Lights!!! Best New Year's Eve ever!!! Throughout the week our guide, Alan, was professional, efficient attentive, creative and still managed to be good humoured and patient. (more)Caroline Nixon

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

Memorable parts? The dog sledding was amazing and lots of fun. The dogs were beautiful and up for lots of cuddles. The time spent with the Sami people was awe inspiring. The Northern Lights are always something to behold. Tips? Take lots of warm clothes. The two nights in the Sami tents are very rustic - no electricity, running water, or flushing toilets - but still very comfortable and a unique experience. Local benefits? Yes. Overall rating? Brilliant. Would recommend... (more)Alison Rogers

Memorable parts? The whole vacation was just amazing. I loved being able to explore the vast, white wilderness which was just the most quiet and peaceful place I have ever been. Doing this via snowmobiles, skis, snowshoes and huskies was very special. Seeing the aurora twice during our stay, with a dancing, swirling light show on our last aurora camp, has to go down as one of our most memorable and special moments of our stay. I also need to mention the very friendly and knowledgeable guides,... (more)Angela Hancock

Memorable parts? Husky ride. Tips? Local benefits? We hope that it helps the Sami people preserve their livelihoods. Overall rating? Magical. Very well organised. (more)Iris Cohen usher

Everything was fabulous. The Husky sled, ice fishing in the wilderness, learning to cross-country ski. Just being outside in -27, watching the Aurora... Wonderful, we didn't want to leave. (more)Paul Colling

We all agreed that the husky safari was the best part of the trip. The kids enjoyed cuddling the dogs very much; they were the friendliest bunch of dogs ever seen. (more)Leontine Mastenbroek

The most memorable feature of the vacation - to the average city-dwelling Brit - was the landscape. Forests and frozen lakes, big skies and 18-hours of daylight - our girls were convinced they were in Narnia (the thaw suggesting Aslan would arrive soon). (more)Anon

Really fantastic. Extremely memorable and has really whetted my appetite to explore more of this fascinating region - both at this time of year, and in summertime too. (more)Hannah Smith

In one word: FANTASTIC. We were able to engage in such delightful winter activities which we had never done before. Weather was perfect, everyone at the hotel just as pleasant and accommodating as could be, food VERY good and special meals were prepared for me as I am a vegetarian. I would like nothing better than to go back for another visit. (more)Inge David

The most exciting part was being propulsed to a different world for the space of 3 days!...A great great experience. (more)Daniele Bourdais
