Lapland Wilderness Adventure

Don't take our word for it. Here's some short reviews of some happy clients who have met Father Christmas in Lapland (Nellim)

We were so impressed by everything... from all the liaisons with your office beforehand, to the wonderful organisation at Nellim, and all the incredible activities that were put on. What we most appreciated was that everything felt very personal, authentic, and very high quality which all combined made this a real trip of a lifetime. I am so glad we chose to travel with you and to Nellim - surely the only way to do Lapland! (Clare Butler)

We travelled to Lapland with our 6 year old son on the 11th December with Nordic Experience and stayed at the Wilderness Lodge in Nellim on the Father Christmas Experience package. The whole trip was amazing from start to finish. The correspondence and information from Nordic Experience was very comprehensive and the flights and transfers, accompanied by 2 people from Nordic Experience were seamless. The Wilderness Lodge is fantastic and the surrounding areas are breathtaking. We stayed in a Nangu Log Cabin which was clean, cosy and really added to the experience. The restaurant, food and staff were all brilliant too. The activities were pitched just right with a mixture of things for adults and children and were really well organised. It was an amazing experience that we would recommend to anyone and we'll definitely go again with our younger son. Thank you to everyone at Nordic Experience and the Wilderness Lodge!

What an adventure and oh so many memories! We were lucky enough to travel with Nordic Experience last year on our magical trip to Nellim in Finnish Lapland. At every stage of the journey and throughout our 3 day break the staff were exemplary, the service warm and inviting and nothing was too much trouble. It is a long journey to your destination but on arrival you were welcomed as though you had arrived home; the lodge was beautiful, the fire was roaring and the meals hearty. Our children (5 and 12) were completely memorised by the setting and slept very soundly that night and every night in a very comfortable family room. On the first morning we were fitted out with warm thermal suits and boots which made the whole experience much easier to manage, - 25 degrees is not something we ere used to! During our time we met the huskies, raced through the wilderness on dog sleds and snowmobiles. We visited the reindeer farm, decorated Christmas trees, baked cookies and made life long friends. Each day the scenery got better and the sledding got quicker – it was a challenge to get the children off the slope! Naturally one of the highlights of the trip was the magical adventure to visit Santa in his cottage by the lake. We were whisked off on a surprise sleigh ride, ending up outside a candle lit path leading to the big man in red on the steps waiting. Luckily for my children they were both on the good list and left armed with a present directly from Santa! It was a once in a lifetime adventure and one that has created lifelong memories for us all.(Melissa Beadsworth)
