A thoroughly marvellous holiday from beginning to end. Our guide (Kimmo) was a fountain of knowledge, an inspiration to everyone and invariably had an answer for every question - most with a huge joke attached. Within days our group (comprising 4 nations) formed a strong bond, frequently compared to 'a family'. The staff at the hotel couldn't do enough to help - we only had to ask. The activities…
Read more were varied, interesting and most of all - great fun. Kimmo's patience invariably made even the least able feel that he/she was contributing to the experience of the whole group. The food was plentiful, varied and very much appreciated at the end of busy days.We were particularly pleased at the way in which you responded to a complaint (from one of our group) regarding a single activity that didn't come up to standard. The compensation offered was extremely quick and very generous - a model in good customer relations.

The most perfect week ever.All of the activities were great. We really enjoyed doing a taster trip and taking part in activities we might not have chosen ourselves.

We have never been on a trip like this before and it has inspired us to think about doing something like this again. Peter and Lorna who are based in Luosto and were there to help during our short stay were outstanding. We can't praise them enough.

We arrived half a day late due to flight delays but we were very impressed by the way our activities were rescheduled so that we did everything that had been promised.

Thank you for your 'Welcome back' email. We had an exhilarating time in Inari enjoying all the activities and were very fortunate to have a good display of the Northern Lights at the end of our first full day. This made it a superb start to the holiday. All of the organisation and arrangements for collection for the activities and transport back to the hotels was on time and friendly. I have…

The hotel was lovely and the food was wonderful. Everything was so well organised, from the transfers to the activities to the equipment hire. It was wonderful that all the activities were done in such small groups, and the guides were so welcoming and knowledgeable.The husky sledding was fantastic, great to do it yourself and not just be a passenger. Dina who ran the husky farm was lovely and so…

Have just returned from an amazing 5 day husky dog sledding Dec 2011 Xmas trip. It was fantastic, the weather was cold don't get me wrong, but nothing can compare to how friendly the dogs are and they are eager to get going no matter what the weather or time of the day and how cool sledding is!! The cabins are basic, no electricity or running water, but they are comfortable, there are mattresses…
Read more to sleep on and it's warm once the fire has been going for a bit. There are even toilets too! - well long drops, but you have to brace the cold to get to them from the cabins!!! It's not a typical holiday, you do have to help out feeding the dogs, lighting fires (if you want warm water or a sauna), chopping up dog meat, but it's fun - I never thought I would say that standing outside feeding dogs out of a huge trough in -10degrees would have me smiling, but the dogs have worked hard to get you there so you want to make sure they are fed and happy. It's picture perfect scenery - photos will never do it any justice!! The guides are super friendly and prepared to help out with anything - sledding is hard initially but after a few days you get the hang of it and by the end you are holding on with one hand and taking photos with the other! Food is super tasty - anything you can ever imagine cooked over a fire you will have! I'm a fussy eater and managed no problems!!

The dogs were fantastic. Loved the fact that it was pretty much hard core wilderness i.e. no running water or electricity so it was truly back to basics. There was a great sense of achievement on completing the five day safari and totally recommend this trip.

Had an absolutely wonderful trip last week, found the activities very stimulating. Dirk our guide was superb, a good sense of humour, helped with all activities and he helped the group bond well. Full marks to the team, highly recommended for anyone looking for an active winter holiday.

Harriniva was AMAZING! From the food to the accommodations to the staff, I made a lifetime of memories in such a short period. Arto (snowmobile guide) and Meku (mushing guide) were absolutely amazing! I did not feel like a customer, they made me feel like I was a part of this wonderful family. I went to Harriniva at the beginning of the season and the snow did not want to show up, so we utilized…
Read more quads instead of sleds. IT WAS EXCITING! It was really always about the huskies anyway. The Finnish wilderness is fantastic for the soul. Words can never express my new found love for Finland and her people. I love this country as if it were my own. Lots of Love from the United States, Merissa
