Just three hours away from the UK is one of Europe’s last true great wildernesses. With mile upon mile of snow-laden taiga forest and glistening frozen lakes, Finland is the perfect playground for a huge variety of winter activities including cross-country skiing, dogsledding, snowshoeing and snowmobiling.
Miles from civilisation, the wilderness lodges we take you to on our Finland winter holidays offer immediate access to some of the country’s most remote regions, including Oulanka National Park in the north-east and the Pallas-Yllästunturi National Park high above the Arctic Circle.
The home country of Moomins – a series of books and a comic strip by Finnish illustrator Tove Jansson – and the one and only Santa Claus, Finland is famous for many exciting reasons.
Whether you want to enjoy peace and quiet surrounded by stunning scenery, revel in the clean air or experience the thrill of witnessing the Finland Northern Lights, we have the perfect winter holiday in Finland for you. While you’re there, take the opportunity to learn about a new culture, see how the locals live, try delicious Finnish cuisine, watch some incredible wildlife and visit National Parks with Exodus.

A whistle stop tour through the extremes of Iceland’s landscape and weather! The itinerary is essentially waterfalls on day one, glaciers on day two and the ‘golden circle’ on day three. We had atrocious weather (lashing rain and 100mph winds) on day one so perhaps visiting three waterfalls wasn’t the best idea. They were very crowded and the weather made it impossible to really appreciate them. The glacier walk on the second day had to be abandoned due to high winds but not until after about an hour in the weather putting all the kit on and probably another hour attempting to get up the path. The northern lights are elusive and I found them disappointing – you can’t really see them with the naked eye, only through a camera lens set to the right exposure. We saw them on a separate bus tour on our last night in Reykjavik, not on the tour itself. Thankfully we had sunshine and calm for the last day. The landscape is beautiful and the food was delicious, if not all that varied. The long drives were broken up well with rest stops and road side sights.
