Thank you for one of the best experiences we have had. A 2-night stopover in Helsinki and an extra night at The Saija Lodge - all arranged without problem!Everyone at The Saija Lodge were amazing - we felt well looked after. The accommodation and surroundings are just picture perfect! We loved every minute, even at minus 31 degrees celsius! Our accomodaton both at The Lodge & the wilderness cabin…
Read more was much more luxurious than I had anticipated, a very welcome treat.Jano was our guide but they are all brilliant at what they do & really helpful and informative. All of the meals were included and were delicious - I am sure we all returned home a little fatter.We booked the Husky Safari which was truly amazing and definitely the best bit for me. There are about a 100 dogs there - all really well looked after, loved, happy to be there, and happy to work. It is amazing spending time with them and the sledging and overnight safari really were a once in a lifetime experience. It is brilliant seeing how the dogs and guides interact - this is truly a labour of love. Thank you for an absolutely amazing holiday!

Our recent trip to celebrate our 40th Wedding Anniversary last year and my 60th Birthday yet to come:Firstly thank you for the complimentary bottle of wine, which was greatly appreciated. The trip was everything we could have wanted, as the Northern Lights had been elusive for many months, and it was very cloudy throughout our stay, we had resigned ourselves to the fact that we would not witness…

Our guide/rep was brilliant. Friendly, helpful and informative.

Hi allWe have just returned from 6 nights at Harriniva and just wanted to let you know it really was a holiday of a lifetime. The whole package was fantastic, Katrina and the staff at Harriniva could not have been more helpful, the weather was fabulous and for the first time in weeks, the Northern Lights made an appearance! The icing on the cake! We absolutely loved the two night Husky Safari with…
Read more Otto, fell in love with the dogs and wanted to bring them home, the snow mobiles was great fun and our guide Dirk gave us a memorable insight into the role of the Reindeer in Northern Finland. I could go on but suffice to say we couldn't fault the Adventure.Many thanks and we will continue to recommend you and your holidays to all our friends!Kind regardsCarrie Dawson

You wished me a fantastic trip. It was more than fantastic and my daughter and I had such a wonderful time. The programme of activities was superb and we had some terrific sightings of the Aurora. So much of this was due to our wonderful guide, Thomas. His enthusiasm and love of the area was so obvious and we learnt so much from him. He went out of his way to ensure we had a good time.  

Just returned to England after a great week in Luosto. Despite not having seen the Northern Lights we had great fun. A massive thank you to Graham and Karen who did a fab job out there. We enjoyed our cabin and even managed to get the fire going! No hesitation to recommend your company.

I got back from Utsjoki ('the top of Finland') on Friday and I'm just emailing to let you know what an excellent experience it was in all respects (even at -35°C)Travelling was trouble-free, the hosts were professional-yet-friendly and attentive to our needs (that's me and the only other people there, a couple from Germany) - though we didn't actually need anything outside of what was…
Read more provided. The food was particularly fabulous. We agreed that Anne and Petteri made us feel more like welcome visitors than 'tourists' - I particularly appreciated that as a lone traveller - and I'd definitely recommend this for anyone wanting a closer-to-nature experience than some of the hotel-based trips. The Northern Lights made their appearance twice (that we caught). That's not something you could have laid on but I thought you might like to know. Best birthday ever!

We had a great time in Luosto with the multi-activity taster trip. Everything ran like clockwork, and looking back now at the pictures much of the magic is preserved. We didn't see the Northern Lights but it still made for a superholiday.

You took untold trouble to help us have a really good holiday in Inari 4 to 8 March. I just want you know it was wonderful. I cannot say how grateful we both are for all you did to make it a really wonderful experience. We saw the Northern Lights every night ? you must have arranged it very well. Even the local people said that the display was the best in 50 years!! We were really lucky.Also, you…

Just returned from a 5 day Husky Safari in Finland. We had a truly magical time. The pre trip support was excellent and accurate. The highlight of our trip was sledding with the huskies, I wanted to take one of my dogs, Yeti, home with me but our guide Raikka would not agree! Living in the wilderness was very basic but brilliant. The food was wholesome, with plenty of it. The daytime cooking over…
Read more an open fire was particularly special. The wilderness cabins were as described and the saunas kept us cleaner than we'd thought. Our guide Raikka was hardworking and helpful, but expect to work hard yourself which added a genuine sense of living in the wilderness and made the relaxing in the evenings all the more enjoyable. We didn't see the Northern Lights so we will have to return. I would recommend a day's skiing at the local resort Olos, where everything was easy and the slopes were clear and well pisted.Thanks for a great trip!
