Winter vacations in Lapland
Tours & vacations in 2020 & 2021

The most memorable part of the vacation was the dogs, it'll always be those amazing dogs. And also our guide. She was just incredible. We also saw the northern lights, and cuddled baby huskies, while it was snowing on Christmas Day. (more)Melanie Lazenby

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.

The most memorable part of our vacation was on both the husky safari when you suddenly burst through the tree line into a frozen lake with nothing but untouched wilderness all around you. It was such an amazing really to be so immersed in your surroundings and involved with the husky's all at the same time. (more)Sophie Conlon

I have wanted to visit the Arctic for a long time and had high expectations, which were met in full. It was a wrench to leave at the end of the week and the first couple of days back home I was really missing the snow and ice, the hospitality, and the sheer fun of it - we seemed to spend all week laughing.

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 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 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

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

… 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? 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 husky sledding and seeing the northern lights Tips? Definitely use skafur tour. Also, buy your gear from decathlon. Local benefits? I think it benefited local people in that we went to visit the reindeer farm and provided out of season jobs for eg local fishermen Overall rating? It was fantastic. (more)Tamsyn Mclean

The husky sledging was amazing and we also got to see the northern lights we did something nearly everyday and enjoyed every minute, went to the ice hotel you can't really explain in words how pretty the scenery is you have to go and see it to believe it. (more)Karen Waller

Driving a snowmobile was most memorable - 80 km journey to visit the Lainio Snow Village. Quite an exciting ride!Very good. I need to do another trip to see Northern Lights a bit better though! (more)Lucy Thomson
