Short breaks are the perfect solution for holidays in Europe, anything from 4 days to a week; where you can experience the continent's natural wonders, be that the melting pot for birds in Hungary, or the bears and northern lights in Lapland, or whales, geysers, lava fields and more in Iceland.

Winter activity holidays and adventures have grown in popularity and today there is a greater awareness of the aurora borealis than ever before. Locations in the far north of Sweden and Finland have perfected combining activities and northern lights viewing and with over 25 years of experience in searching for the northern lights we have chosen some of the very best on offer in Lapland. You can be assured a memorable time wherever you travel in Europe and remember the vast majority of our holidays are tailor made.

Words from our clients

We loved our summer holiday and are very sad to be back. Finland is such a beautiful country and a lovely place to be, surrounded by nature. The food was amazing every day! Papin Talo Guesthouse was beautiful, in such a restful location. We loved all the amenities on offer and took great use of the boats and bikes. Staff were very friendly and always very helpful. We would definitely stay again.

We are just about to fly home from Colombo. I just wanted to give you a very quick overall impression of the trip; in summary one of the most wonderful experiences of our lives!!
Thank you so so much.

We had an amazing time! We loved it (and) we managed to see the Big 5!! Definitely will be using you again, I've had 2 of the best holidays so far booked through you! You definitely know the places to go and where to stay.

I wanted to spend my birthday in a place that would reflect the longing and adventurous spirit that I have carried with me all my life and the thought of spending time in a place as wild as Iceland and walk the lava fields of Budir, surpassed all my hopes and dreams for my birthday wish. Wildlife & Wilderness the company, helped to provide memories of mist and snow and glaciers, together with sitting in a hot tub under a multitudinous starry night and wake up on my birthday, to sit in a hot tub and watch the sunrise. They organised and provided a perfect short holiday for my husband and myself as smooth as the glacier we walked on. Thank you.

Mrs. J. - London

We had a truly wonderful time in India. Thank you for helping to make our first visit such a fantastic experience. It is a truly unique experience isn’t it which is difficult to relate to someone who hasn’t been before. We are totally smitten and eager to see more.

Mrs. E. - Gloucestershire

People are always quick to criticise so here is a letter to congratulate you on providing us with such a great holiday. What you did was actually provide what we asked for. Great holiday and we will be recommending you to others and will contact you again.

Mr. M. - Oxfordshire

We both want to thank you for the holiday you organised for us … It went more smoothly than we could ever have expected, and the whole of the team in India were brilliant - agents, couriers, drivers etc - and very accommodating.

Mr. & Mrs. B. - Warwickshire

Thank you for the most amazing experience on our trip to Finland. To walk out on to a frozen lake, miles from anywhere and see the most amazing display of the northern lights was like a 10-year old walking into Disney. It was fantastic! The big problem now is how are we going to match that for our next holiday.

Mr. C. C. - Suffolk

Thought you would like to know that we had the most wonderful time at Harriniva. Thoroughly enjoyed all the activities (did extra huskies and horse riding) and saw the Northern Lights on 3 evenings. Food and staff were excellent too. We thought this would be a "one-off" holiday but already thinking about next year!
