Why you'll love this trip
- Be pulled across the landscape at high speed on the back of a dog sled. These incredible huskies are doing what they love most – making a lot of noise and rushing along sprawling trails.
- Visit a local family-run reindeer farm in Rovaniemi. See reindeer go about their daily routine, learn about reindeer herding and maybe feed the beautiful animals.
- Find a moment of calm as you’re guided through a tree-hugging forest in Levi. Be wrapped in a hammock for a Finnish experience of arctic cocooning and hear about the efforts being taken spread awareness of nature conservation.
- Explore Lapland at your own pace with plenty of free time. Maybe meet Santa at his Finnish home in the Arctic Circle, visit the Rovaniemi Art Museum or simply unwind in a steamy sauna or spa.
- Make the most of Iceland’s long winter nights as you track down the shimmering colours of the best light show on Earth – the Northern Lights (Aurora Borealis).

- The Northern Lights (also known as the Aurora Borealis) are a natural display of coloured lights in the night sky of the northern hemisphere.

Keep your fingers crossed for clear skies during your visit.
