Our first visit to Finland and we were bowled over by it
A review of Jeris and Harriniva - Tailor Made by Keith ClaysonThis was our first visit to Finland and we were bowled over by it. The landscape is stunning and the people very friendly. Yes it was cold, but with scenery like that, who cares.

The Reindeer Farm - great to meet the reindeer and the safari through the forest also very interesting information about the Sami culture and the origins of the village.

No problems about booking. Good information provided. Your local agent, Pasvikturist was very helpful and made it possible for us to book an additional activity. Their use of small local providers in addition to the Snowhotel company gave the holiday a personal touch as the group sizes were mostly quite small. The Thon Hotel is very well situated (we saw the Northern Lights twice from it) and the…
Read more food is good. The Rica Arctic has now changed its name to Scandia. Other local attractions are Surf and Turf in Kirkenes for food, and the Borderlands Museum.

Everything was unbelievable; the quality of this holiday cannot be exaggerated. The organisation of flights, transfers and accommodation was superb. The safari activity was beyond expectations in all aspects and the people we met could not have been more helpful and friendly. We enjoyed every minute of every day.

Our reps (Karen and Graham) were really lovely and helpful...
A review of Luosto - Log Cabin Taster Week by John RobinsonOur reps (Karen and Graham) were really lovely and helpful and whenever they saw us would come over for a chat and see how we were getting on, nothing like any reps I've known on holidays in the past who have often been completely absent or only there to try to sell trips!

All in all a value for money holiday
A review of Harriniva - Winter Adventure by Andy GibsonThe dog sled trip was the biggest highlight - we plan to do a multi-day trip now! The whole open-fire eating outdoor experience on the three safari's was also worthy of praise. Over all a superb holiday. Accommodation great; food varied and great; staff excellent - all in all a value for money holiday.

Fantastic holiday, loved every bit of it
A review of Luosto - Log Cabin Taster Week by Stuart Lowney-RegerFantastic holiday, loved every bit of it, Karen and Graham were excellent, very approachable, gave lots of useful information and very caring, even brought us a bottle of wine for our birthday celebrations. The activities were brilliant, we did the taster week and got to experience so much and enjoyed every activity, the guides were also amazing and patient with us. The food was delicious in the…
Read more Kelo Restaurant, but the main buffet was not as good but still tasty. Our transfer there was smooth however on the way back the flight got changed and was disruptive however it could not be helped and we landed home on time with our luggage. All the equipment was provided for the whole stay and was very useful, I would have brought my own mitts as the ones provided were very big and snow games only had 1 size. We loved all the activities but must enjoyable was the husky safari, everyone had a great time, and was such an amazing experience. The guide Laura was excellent very clear and lovely to talk to. Although the snow trek to search for the northern lights was fun there was a big group of us, would have preferred smaller groups on the trek. Most activities there were just 3 couples which was a good number of people. Also the reindeer safari was probably the most slow paced but still fun and glad we did it. The log cabin was great, very homely.
