Holiday Idea

Travel high above the Arctic Circle to the heart of Finnish Lapland to spend four nights on the edge of frozen Lake Inari. Sleep in a beautiful glass-roofed igloo keeping an eye out for the magical northern lights dancing overhead. Zip across wintry plateaus by snowmobile and learn to steer a team of energised huskies through Lapland’s snowy forests before resting weary limbs in the lakeside sauna.

Emma was professional, friendly and had the experience to give us the advice we needed for a magical experience to celebrate a special birthday! The hotels she recommended and the excursions she suggested were top notch! A wonderful time was had by all of us!
