Finland holidays

Our winter holidays follow the Finns, who know how to embrace their longest season. Husky safaris, snowshoe and cross country adventures through snow-slumped Wild Taiga forests provide a connection to the landscape, which extends skywards. The permanent twilight provides a beautiful backdrop for our activity-led holidays, the night providing a pitch-dark canvas for the Northern Lights. You will have the chance to meet local Sámi reindeer herders and find out about their way of life, you can even try net fishing – a traditional Sámi method of catching dinner.

Finland has a hugely underrated surprise up its sleeve: summertime. Our summer holidays make the most of the season, when the country briefly shrugs off its snowy cloak revealing green hillsides and Nordic-red lakeside cabins. Our local guides know all the best hiking and running trails through sun-dappled forests, and our self drive holidays take you to long, empty roads, ripe for exploration. Brown bears wake up from hibernation in the Wild Taiga, so you can have a go at tracking them on a wildlife holiday, with the knowledge that your trip contributes to their ongoing protection.

If it’s your first trip to Finland, then our Finnish Lapland holidays are a great choice. We'll help you to explore the region beyond Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi – a vast white canvas waiting for showshoe and sled tracks that’ll be wiped clean by the next snowfall. It’s also the heart of Sámi culture, and by supporting local reindeer farms, working with local Sámi guides and visiting Sámi cultural centres, our holidays help to protect their culture for future generations. Alternatively, our wildlife holidays head to the Wild Taiga, where local experts will put you on the trail of the elusive wolverine, amongst other animals; you can hike from hut to hut along the lakes or self drive from national park to national park, supporting wildlife and local communities along the way.
