  Written March 2008

  Amazing scenery, new activities, wonderful guides, great food and the Northern Lights - what more could anyone ask for!

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Walking on snowshoes to view the rapids.  We stood in perfect surroundings and the only noise was the water.

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Amazing!  We couldn't fault him.  In fact we thought so highly of him that we named the pet rabbit we acquired when we returned, Eki after him!

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Take a decent base layer and travel in boots or shoes with a good grip and a warm coat - and leave other winter clothes behind - everything is supplied - and it is all really comfortable and good quality.  Also make sure you are reasonably fit before you go as you will do activities every day and you don't want to be too exhausted to do anything.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  If you like lots of nightlife and dressing up for dinner - this holiday is not for you.  If you love beautiful scenery and the chance to totally get away from it all with no noise or light pollution - this is perfect.

  FINNISH WINTER ADVENTURE FAMILY HOLIDAY

  

  Written January 2008

  An excellent alternative to being at home at Christmas. All our family group was kept fully occupied for the whole week. No tele, playstations, newspapers required. Pure wilderness. The kids loved it.

  What was the most inspirational moment of your trip?

  Husky riding on Christmas day. Turned up at Husky Farm expecting to be taken for a ride but ended up, after a quick demo, having to steer and control 5 very enthusiastic dogs over 10k of wooded terrain. Awesome experience. 2 days later we went on a 30k jaunt. That tells you everything. 

  What did you think of your group leader?

  Marti was superb, very patience and supportive with all of us. His pancake making could improve but then he doesn't profess to being a cook.

  Do you have any advice for potential travellers?

  Pack nothing other than toiletries, a few caasual clothes for the evening and undergarments. Everythingelse is provided. Don't pack your cases full of winter gear. Also don't expect to see the sun. You won't just a winter wonderland instead.

  Is there anything else you would like to add?

  Clearly Exodus use 1st rate local operators. Our flight was delayed overnight by fog but the local operator rearranged the activities so we didn't miss out on anything.
