Dog-sledding, gastronomy or gauchos – the choice is yours
Learn how to be a husky musher in Finland or a gaucho in Argentina on one of the 13 new trips launched by The Adventure Company.
New for this year is the introduction of no local payments on arrival in each destination. This has come from the feedback customers have given on return from their trips in 2008/2009. The headline price is the full price customers pay and any optional extras have been clearly listed on each trip page. This makes it easier for customers to understand the price of their holiday.
Below is just a selection of new trips that have been added to the portfolio this year:
Finnish Dogsledding Week – This 8-day trip will give travellers the opportunity to be a traditional husky ‘musher’. During the week travellers will learn how to harness, feed and look after the own team of huskies before starting a five-day cabin-to-cabin dogsled expedition. The final day of the trip can be spent doing a number of optional winter activities including a reindeer safari, snowshoe hiking in Oulanka National Park or snowmobiling. Prices start from £1,969 per person.
