Home to the last ice cap of northern Europe, opportunity to view the aurora borealis, track brown bears, moose, wolverine, the elusive lynx and meet the reindeer herding indigenous Sami people.
A MAGICAL ARCTIC SETTING ONLY A SHORT HOP FROM NORTHERN EUROPE AND THE FIRST ARCTIC LOVE FOR NATURAL HIGH'S OLLY WILLIAMS
Exploring Arctic wilderness for more than twenty years, Olly first fell in love with this wild and remote area of Swedish Lapland in 1998 on an Arctic expedition with his collaborative art partner Suzi to paint the reindeer migration of the local Sami people and vast coniferous primeval forests and Arctic landscapes. Their paintings are imbued with the animal spirits, people and places they’ve visited on expeditions to many of the world’s most remote places. During many visits they witnessed wild wolverine, brown bear, moose, golden eagle, wolf and reindeer roam freely in the last true great wilderness of Northern Europe.
Swedish Lapland brings a unique feeling of freedom with room to explore across frozen lakes, through picture perfect ancient forests and all without another soul in sight.
TAKE ON THE IDEAL SHORT FAMILY EXPEDITION
Travel through the remote taiga wilderness of Swedish Lapland as a family getting back to nature and away from the stresses of daily life. Driving your own team of huskies and staying in private rustic wilderness camps in the company of your expert guide and chef - this is an unforgettable family experience that will certainly be a story to be told for many years to come. This is the Arctic equivalent of an old school mobile camping safari - made for the adventurous family.
BEST TIME TO GO TO ARCTIC SWEDEN
Long arctic nights bring about the perfect opportunity for cosy evenings in authentic rustic lodges - perfect for getting off screens with precious time in your surroundings.
Our dogledding expeditions are best from December through to April with prime time coming in mid-February - perfect for families to get off grid during half term when beautiful pituresque lighting floods across the white pristine wilderness. An unforgettable way to spend your days with just you and your team of huskies. You'll find lower temperatures from December to February but we'll always make sure you have all the gear to protect you from the elements.
As we move in to March and April there tends to be a spring feeling in the air as temperatures rise and the days get longer. The famous Northern Lights can be seen until early April.

Reviews
Outstanding customer service well above the call of duty.
"Natural High arranged a trip to remember ...accommodation first class, transportation on very long road trips was excellent. Spotless . air conditioning .. food and water. Rhino and Tiger sightings to die for.. local agents left nothing to chance ... we felt in the safest hands ... then when we off grid the virus struck... Natural High and their local Agent Banyan took total control and got us from the back of beyond to UK in very worrying and uncertain times. All without us being able to do anything at our end ...outstanding attention to detail. Worth every penny."
Personal service and excellent organisation
"This was our first holiday to be organised by Natural High. We made the enquiry on New Year’s Eve for a departure in February and within a few days they had produced a wonderful-sounding itinerary in Costa Rica. There were helpful notes for packing as they seem to have someone there who has been to any chosen destination. We did do some groundwork for flights but left it to Dial-a-Flight who were also most efficient. We visited the office as it is very local to home and everyone there was cheerful and interested in our upcoming trip. We were presented with a leather file which turned out to be the most useful item en-route for all our paperwork ..... and it smelled lovely!
The holiday was one of our best ever. Not just because we saw a plethora of wildlife, but because there was always someone waiting to whisk us to another destination, be it to the airport, from the airport or a boat to a lodge etc. And they did it with great charm and humour and were always very knowledgeable about any queries we had.
For the last 8 days we had a driver/guide who was just outstanding. He was very familiar with the 3 remaining lodges where we stayed and his rapport with the other staff and guides helped to ensure that we were really well looked after. He was a skilled naturalist, had a great sense of humour and was always putting our welfare first - he made a wonderful companion for the trip.
All of the above meant that it was a really relaxing holiday so that we could maximise our time looking at the flora and fauna of Costa Rica.
We would highly recommend Natural High ...... where next?!"

Fantastic Natural High
"Perfectly organised trip to two great Nomad camps in Tanzania!"
Natural High nailed it again
"Sledding in Sweden was our second wonderful holiday with Natural High. From the moment you speak to them to when you get home the service and attention to detail is wonderful.
Everything is so well planned and organised that you can just sit back and really enjoy your holiday. We couldn’t recommend husky sledding in the north of Sweden more. We all agreed it was one of the best family holidays ever."
