An excellent holiday and we are already thinking of returning at a different time of year to see and experience Oulanka during the Spring or Autumn. (more)Brian Crathorne

An amazing place to go and experience and do things you have not done before-It was magical (more)Christine McLone

I shall never forget the exhilaration of the husky safari, the magic of the reindeer appearing through the snowy forest or the wonderland joy of seeing northern lights dancing in the sky. (more)Catherine Wickens

Fabulous and a wonderful experience. Did things we have never done before. (more)Kerry Killin

The most memorable part of the holiday 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 holiday 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 holiday 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. (more)Kathryn Haw

The scenery, experiencing the Arctic and the husky safari were the most memorable parts of the holiday! (more)Hilary Proud

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

Having done many huskey trips before I can say that it was the best dog sled holiday I've ever had. (more)Mark Waddock

Wonderful and magical. Great location, people, food, accommodation, activities and the dogs. It is a holiday we will never forget and hope to return one day. (more)Jane Collingwood-Bates

The most exciting part of our holiday was the overnight Husky Dog safari into the Wilderness, an experience not to be missed! The most memorable was seeing the Northern lights and Snow-shoeing in the forests (more)Helen Tolley

The husky safari was amazing. Truly memorable with a lifetime full of memories. (more)Srikanth Murthi

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

Amazing. I would recommend it to anyone keen to get away from it all and be outdoors. More snow than you will ever have seen and you won’t get cold - 4 layers of clothes 4 pairs of socks and gloves and two hats toasty warm (more)Alison Rayner

Excellent range of activities, and good value when you look at what was included. The local guides were excellent. Would give more than 5 stars if allowed. (more)Adam Choonara

The husky dog and the snow-mobile trips were the most exciting... Fantastic. Would recommend it to anyone who wants a bit of a winter adventure. (more)Ian Wilkes

The most memorable part of our holiday 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. (more)Irene Mitchell

Being in an environment which was so different to our everyday environment was the most memorable part of the holiday. (more)Kate O Reilly

The most memorable was the whiteness of the wilderness! (more)Saki Choudhury

The husky safari was wonderful. We were also lucky with the northern lights which put on an amazing display for several hours on New Years eve. Fantastic. (more)Christine Symes

Brilliant! Husky ride and Reindeer sleigh and snowmobile. It was all great. (more)Emily Symes

Outstanding - perfect. An amazing family experience we will all remember for the rest of our lives. (more)Juliet Osborne

Excellent - we were so sad to have to come home! (more)Sarah Williams

The most memorable part of the holiday was the Northern Light (more)Sean Lee

Excellent. Everything is well organised and we did not have any worries from start to finish. The guides and hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. They all spoke English. (more)Moon Kuan

The most memorable part of the holiday was seeing the northern lights. (more)Susan Benson

The most memorable parts were the Food, the Huskies, the snowmobile trip. (more)John Rawstrone

Very memorable and would not hesitate to visit again, given the time and opportunity. Exciting part was the Snow Shoe walk at night in the Woods with an experienced guide imparting knowledge about the fauna and wildlife. (more)Tan Juliana

We had a fabulous trip and so many new experiences, it's hard to choose but I would say our snowmobile and husky safaris were the absolute highlights. Then our stay in a log cabin was fantastic and just being in the arctic landscape was breathtaking. (more)Hilary Viana

Memorable parts? The group was great, the sights were beautiful, but the best part was all the dogs! So happy, playful, friendly, and well-behaved! Tips? Hand warmers and toe warmers. It was negative 30 deg C pretty much the entire time. Local benefits? Our guides talked about staying on the trails to prevent frost-burn on the ground, and most of the equipment and clothing was made locally. Overall rating? Excellent! (more)Maura Giedre Vebeliunas

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

Excellent activities. The highlight for me was the dog sledding experience. All other activities were of an exceptional standard as well. 10 out of 10. A fantastic holiday with great activities and a superb hotel with great food. (more)Ian Davenport

It was quite magical. Both aurora, pale green and pinkish, and the millions of stars were reflected in the dark river below. (more)Katrina Miller

Excellent. I'd be happy to go back to Nellim again. (more)Malcolm Raggett

Memorable parts? There were many memorable parts to this holiday, from catching a glimpse of the lights, to riding snow mobiles through the forest at night, to breathing such beautiful clean air. The holiday 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 holiday is fabulous and if you get to see them its "the icing on the cake", enjoy all the... (more)Gillian McDonnell

Memorable parts? Seeing the most awesome display of the Aurora Borealis on New Year's Eve! How lucky were we? This was the icing on the cake, following four days of exhilarating activities. Tips? It's a fair walk from the lake and hotel to the larger cabins and some activities can be slightly tiring, so make sure you are comfortable in what you are wearing and have some energy! If you wear glasses, take contact lenses. Local benefits? Yes, apart from the snowmobile engines Overall... (more)Jeannette Middleton

Memorable parts? I loved the Autumn colours; walking with the reindeer and learning about and experiencing the local culture and food. The aurora dome was very special ... a must do on the tour!! I just loved everything to be honest. The staff and guides are fantastic. Nothing is too much for them. Tips? Don't go just to see the northern lights because you may not be lucky enough to see them - but there is so much more to this tour/destination that makes it an amazing experience.... (more)Jeanette O

Memorable parts? Aurora and husky safari Tips? Take plenty of thermals. Local benefits? Not sure. The guides certainly had knowledge about the local environment. Overall rating? Very enjoyable. Would perhaps have been nice to have had an extra day to explore or even rest as it felt very “full on” and was tiring, and although I would not have wanted to miss any of the evening activities, an evening just relaxing would have been nice. The staff were helpful, Nina was... (more)Daryl Halsey

Memorable parts? Seeing the kids sledging on proper snow! Tips? Take single use hand warmers with you and use them in your shoes too!! Local benefits? We used a local adventure company which rely on the tourist trade to keep going. Overall rating? Excellent holiday. My 13 year old said it was the best holiday he'd ever been on! (more)Holly Jones

Memorable parts? Oh that is a difficult one. I guess it was the Reindeer selection ring, where the herders catch their reindeer for market. The melee was amazing and no one was hurt, but a fantastic experience. Then there is the photographing of a moose that was 5 meters away. Being able to enter the Sami Parliament. Tips? Take good thermal underwear, whatever quality your clothing it will not be warm enough. Local benefits? I do believe in responsible tourism and the few... (more)Keith Jones

Memorable parts? Husky ride. Tips? Local benefits? We hope that it helps the Sami people preserve their livelihoods. Overall rating? Magical. Very well organised. (more)Iris Cohen usher

Memorable parts? The whole holiday 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

It was excellent - far better than I had hoped for. This was a memorable holiday from beginning to end. Lots of winter activities that we took part in, with help and encouragement from an excellent guide. Saw the northern lights on two occasions. (more)Jane Beauchamp

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
