  • The dog sledding was just brilliant fun!

    A review of Brändön Lodge - Pick and Mix by The Colantoni Family
    20 February 2017

    The food provided was excellent and we really enjoyed it. There wasn't a 'choice' as such though - the chef provided us with whatever he was cooking that day. We loved each meal but perhaps if you were pickier with your food choices it may have been an issue for you. The dog sledging was just brilliant fun! We had a wonderful time and appreciated how quickly you responded to our request when one

  • The whole family enjoyed it

    A review of Ranua - Pick and Mix by The Hotson Family
    19 February 2017

    The food was basic but very good; it was great to try local dishes. It was more difficult to get my children to try them, though! Snowmobile safari was great fun. Two-hour duration was just right as it's quite hard work to steer them. The whole family enjoyed it, from my wife who hates the cold (and wasn't) through to my grumpy teenage daughter who said "Thanks, Dad, that was a great holiday" when

  • Everything was perfect

    A review of Nellim Half-Term Aurora Adventure by The Willard family group
    18 February 2017

    Everything was perfect - from our initial conversation with a very knowledgeable sales person to the holiday itself. Pre-travel information was great and everyone we dealt with both in the UK and at the resort were so helpful. The hotel was fantastic at dealing with my daughter's dietary restrictions and could not do enough for her. We particularly enjoyed the husky ride. It was fantastic fun and

    everyone loved it. The dogs were fantastic and the amazing scenery was incredible. Our group was of mixed ages from 12-70. We had an amazing trip and loved every minute of it. My only comment would be that my parents found some of the activities quite hard going. Their health had deteriorated slightly in the 10 months since we originally booked which I am sure contributed to this. They had a go at everything with the exception of the activity on the last day as they were too tired and were glad they did but it was possibly a bit too full on for them. The rep at the resort (Dan) was absolutely brilliant and very patient with us - including taking my mum to the hospital when she cut her head. We would absolutely recommend both the hotel and the company- possibly the best family holiday we have ever had.

  • Holiday of a lifetime!

    A review of Brändön Lodge Frozen Archipelago Adventure by Philip, Audrey and Annie Martin
    15 February 2017

    A truly magical experience! We saw the Northern Lights twice; my daughter caught a fish; the dog sledding was a huge adrenalin rush; the hovercraft trip fantastic; the final meal out on the ice delicious! Couple this with amazing scenery, great food and friendly knowledgeable people and we had our ideal holiday of a lifetime!

  • Overall the holiday was superb!

    A review of Ranua - Pick and Mix by Hazel Carlo and Tia Petherbridge
    13 February 2017

    Had an amazing time staying at Gulo Gulo Holiday Village in Ranua, Lapland with my niece. Beautiful surroundings and friendly staff. The little zoo was lovely and looked like the animals were looked after properly. We did the Wild Night Safari which was great and informative, we saw the majority of the animals as they are more active at night, but it was very slippery. The horse-drawn carriage

    safari was lovely and relaxing as well as the reindeer safari. The husky safari was amazing, I was very nervous at first as they were so strong and eager to get going but soon got the hang of it. My niece even got to drive it which was great. I wish I picked a longer one as it was over very quickly but would love to do it again. Overall the holiday was superb!

  • The holiday was excellent from A to Z

    A review of Luosto - Snow and Ski Active Pick and Mix by The Kanellopoulou-Warman Family
    12 February 2017

    The holiday was excellent from A to Z: from the pre-booking and info phase to our return to the UK. All activities were very enjoyable indeed as we tried almost everything. It would be very hard to distinguish: all members of the family thoroughly enjoyed the holiday and we were lucky enough to have the extra bonus of the Northern Lights during our night snowshoeing hiking. An unforgettable

    experience! We will certainly be back to try some summer destinations too. My kids are now huge fans of activity holidays! Kiitos to the UK team and your local rep, Greta! She was a great help esp. when we arrived and 2/4 suitcases were left at Heathrow. She made sure we had the essentials for the night. Our suitcases arrived the following morning right on time for our first activities so all ended well.
