It was great to see the puppies and have time to ask questions to the really knowledgeable staff. An experience I’ll never forget. I removed 1 star regarding the transport because we were waiting for 30 mins outside before we got picked up. That’s they only negative we had but it happens and was prob a one off.”

The salmon soup was very delicious but my 7 year old would not go anywhere near it so it would have been good to have had another option, or a more child friendly option The highlight for me was the snowmobiles- being out in the forest surrounded by beautiful winter wonderland was amazing. Guide friendly and informative, great facilities at base, we felt well cared for. A definite must excursion when visiting Lapland !”
