The trip was recommended to me by previous travel buddies and lived up to all expectations. The scenery is beautiful, the accommodation great and very warm and the equipment provided is superb. Although you try lots of activities there is plenty of time to chill out and you aren't expected to be up too early so definitely a holiday to recharge the batteries. There is lots of food and always tea, coffee and squash on the table if you are chilling in the lodge.
I recently embarked on the Finnish Wilderness Week with Exodus, and it was an experience of a lifetime! Basecamp Oulanka is a charming retreat surrounded by forests and Juuma Lake. The week was filled with many winter activities, including snowshoeing in the snow-covered forests, cross-country skiing by the lake, and an unforgettable dogsledding adventure, despite being new to winter sports the guides were incredibly helpful and patient with us. The accommodation at Basecamp Oulanka was superb, offering warm rooms, and the provision of all necessary Arctic equipment made the adventure comfortable and enjoyable.
The night of 6th of February of 2020 it was AMAZING!!! What I saw I can't explain using words. The best gift to my birthday. And a fantastic day to remember of our honeymoon. The staff was fantastic, Lorenzo the guide, very helpful. Joey the photographer, an excellent professional and very perfectionist, always wanting to take the best photo with us. And Angel, always concerned with everyone's well being. Thank you so much for this experience.
