Prices are planning fees. Travel services are paid separately. Delivery runs from the agreed start once your brief is complete. Scope, total fee, payment terms and delivery are confirmed in writing before you order.
The right plan starts with your priorities.
Share your dates, party and where you need help. Tuomas confirms the service, fee and delivery date before you order.
An illustrative family day, not a client itinerary or confirmed programme. The right rhythm depends on your accommodation, party and provider schedules.
The first list of ideas
Reindeer visit in the morning
Husky experience after lunch
Northern Lights outing in the evening
The gaps also need to hold journeys, dressing, meals and breaks. The activity’s advertised duration is only part of the day.
A considered day around your stay
Before the outingCheck the pickup point, travel time and time for winter clothing.
The day’s main experienceOne outing that fits your party’s ages and priorities.
AfterwardsA warm lunch and time to return to your accommodation.

Your own plan adds the providers chosen for your trip, booking links, indicative costs, travel-time estimates and booking order. Two weather alternatives cover the overall plan.
Tell me what you have already booked and where you need help. I bring the choices within your agreed service together in one personal plan.

Choices made for your trip

Days that work together
Time for dressing, transfers, meals and rest as well as the activity itself. Indicative costs help you see the whole picture.

A clear next step
What to book first, what to ask the provider and alternatives for changing weather. You confirm availability and make the bookings.
