A big thank you for a wonderful holiday and 18th birthday for Chloe. Everything went amazing. From booking the holiday with Barry, sorting Chloe's birthday arrangements out with Dawn and Karen, to coming home was just great. 10/10 holiday. They catered for my daughter's gluten-free very easily and the birthday cake was spot on. Katrina, your rep out there was a lovely person and always about…

Your local rep Katrina welcomed us with all the information necessary - and even remembered us from our visit two years ago! Whenever we saw her around, she was cheerful, chatty and made sure everything was just as we wanted it. The activities fulfilled our expectations completely. We also hired snowshoes on a free day and carried out our own explorations too. The two day Husky Safari was…
Read more brilliant. The overnights cabin was far less spartan than we expected, and because there were just three couples on the trip, the use of the sauna worked out well. It was good to be able to get 'hands on' with the dogs with feeding/ harnessing, etc, and the guide went out of her way to explain things - as well as cooking us some excellent food. The sledding itself is at times an energetic activity, and occasionally a little challenging. Two days of it was just the right amount of time and effort. Glad we didn't opt for the five day event though as I think it would have been too much. I also enjoyed the snowmobiling, so opted for an additional trip - the Olos Panoramic on a free day. Excellent fun! Our first trip to Harriniva, two years ago, was intended to be a 'once in a lifetime trip' - primarily to see the Northern Lights. We enjoyed it so much we went again this year (and saw the Lights three nights out of six!). We are now muttering about saving up for a return visit in a couple of years - trusting we are not overcome by old age and infirmity..... If this plan comes to fruition, we shall be in touch with Artisan Travel once again. Many thanks for making it all happen!

The most incredible holiday and one we will always remember with fond memories.
A review of Jeris and Harriniva - Winter Adventure by Stephen & Julie Griffin(Favourite activity) – 2 day husky safari. Overnight and having to help harness the dogs and feed them, etc all added to the experience and adventure.

This isn't a holiday for everyone, but it was 100% us. We loved it; we loved mucking in and certainly loved the dogs and scenery. It had a feeling of being in the wilderness, and we were so impressed at our guides expertise and generosity, especially to me being a vegan. The food was amazing as well. The huskies were simply amazing, I initially had concerns about how they'd be for five days, but…
Read more the whole safari is done at their pace, and they always came first, so ethically speaking it was fantastic, and lovely to hear that some have been rehomed by holiday makers once their working life was over.
