“We loved the snow mobiles and it was nice to change drivers mid way round. It was also nice splitting into smaller groups so you don’t just follow in one big line directly behind the others as some are more cautious drivers. We loved having a bit of fun on them and being able to go faster at times. The children went behind the guide,Kevin Chow, but again he was great and they loved it! The reindeer ride was lovely and relaxing , being able to see the snowy scenery and take everything in. The husky ride was brilliant but in our opinion quite short. We were split into the…”

“Amazing experience, the guides (Eliseus and a finish gentlemen with long beard) were super friendly, positive and fun. We had enough time to do pretty much everything: long drives through the nature, eat some soup and drink tea around the fire and fish. There were 2 campfires (inside a tent and outside), in case someone was really cold. The fishing felt a bit boring after the part where you drill a hole, so no one really catches anything. Also the guides were nice and allowed us to do some drifting in the middle of the lake where the snow was really high. Also just a tip, don’t follow the group…”
