It's Christmas all year round in this crazy place - so this could be a great opportunity to get a decoration for your Christmas tree that will remind you of your trip.
After your visit to Santa's village, the Christmas spirit continues! Your guide will show you the basics before you zoom off on a snowmobile through the snow-covered landscape, feeling like James Bond. You pull up alongside Sami reindeer herders. The Sami people are local to the region and have bred reindeer for many generations. It is part of their culture. Learn about Sami culture over a cup of tea in a tent. Then, take a wintery sleigh ride with the gentle giants!

Your day starts in a flurry of activity: You're wished good morning by the wagging tails of fluffy huskies!

After you've reached the husky kennel, their keepers invite you for some hot drinks and a sweet bite and tell you about their beloved dogs.
After snuggling with the dogs for one last time, you say goodbye and travel to your wilderness escape. We've booked a private sauna hut just for your group, where you can experience sauna the traditional way. Who will dare to run outside and dive into the snow after a session?!
You spend the night in rustic wooden cabins surrounded by Finland's beautiful nature. After dinner with your new companions, get cosy in front of the flickering fireplace or head outside. Far from the lights of the city, you have your first opportunity to see the Northern Lights! Who will spot them first?

FAQs
What vaccinations are recommended or required for my trip?
As a tour operator, we are not allowed to give specific vaccination recommendations for liability reasons. We strongly recommend that you consult your local doctor or, even better, a qualified doctor specialized in tropical diseases in good time before your trip. Here are some relevant links for residents of several countries: UK: Gov.uk, USA: U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Germany: Auswärtiges Amt.
Please note that for our Colombia tour, a yellow fever vaccination is not mandatory.
When can I book my international flights?
As soon as we have confirmed that the minimum number of participants for your trip has been reached and the trip is therefore guaranteed to take place, you can book your flights. The trip will be confirmed or cancelled at least 45 days before departure. We will be happy to give you tips on booking flights! By the way: it is in our interest to fill the trips as soon as possible, so we do our best to confirm them as soon as possible.
When is a trip guaranteed to take place?
A trip is guaranteed to take place when the minimum number of participants has been reached. If you have already booked before the minimum number of participants has been reached, we will let you know, so you can book your flights. We will confirm or cancel the trip no later than 45 days before the scheduled departure date. If a trip has to be cancelled unexpectedly, you will of course receive a 100% refund of your deposit or any other payments made.
What language are the tours led in?
We are an English speaking company based in Berlin. Our tours are led in English and co-travellers are international English speakers.
What does a "partially guided trip" mean?
This means that you'll travel as a group without constantly having a guide by your side. We'll give you instructions on how to get to/from the airport & hotel and when to be where for your activities. You'll have local experts guiding you for certain key activities. Of course we only offer partially guided tours in easy destinations with good infrastructure, where people speak English, to give you the freedom to explore at will.
