The most memorable part of the holiday was the husky sledding. (more)Martin Carby

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 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

The most amazing winter holiday you could ever go on, especially if you love the snow! (more)Joanna Lamy

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

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

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 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

Amazing!!! I don’t know too many Americans who travel to Finland, especially in the winter. But I can’t recommend this trip and the operator enough. (more)Erin Murphy

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

The most memorable part of the holiday was the Husky sleighs and Northern Lights. (more)Pernille Coulthard

Amazing experience for the whole family and we had the best family holiday we have ever had. (more)Sarah Imms

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

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? 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? 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

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? Seeing the Aurora on three out of our four nights has to be the highlight of our trip. However, it would be remiss not to mention the activities we participated in (snowshoeing, aurora camp x 2, snowmobiling, husky sled & aurora snowmobiling, which all brought their particular enjoyable moments to enhance our enjoyment. Tips? Take advantage of all that is on offer at the hotel. It is ideally located with welcoming and helpful staff. Local benefits? Yes. We... (more)George Bird

We enjoyed every meal and the options. The staff were knowledgable and friendly. Our cabin was perfect, the beds comfortable and the sauna a delight. (more)Carolyn Christiansen

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. (more)Gillian McDonnell
