Description

From the exhilaration of a husky safari to the thrill of witnessing the spellbinding northern lights, there will be a new experience every day on this fantastic tailor-made adventure.

Experience the beauty of the far north by reindeer drawn sleigh, snowmobile and even on your own two feet as you strap on your skis or snowshoes and head into the wilderness. Enjoy tasty lunches in cosy Finnish kota's, sip hot coffee by roaring campfires and relax each night at dinner in the comfort of Hotel Aurora before retiring to your own personal sauna or snuggling by the fire as you wait for the Aurora Alarm to rouse you for aurora viewings whenever they occur.
