Miglé Mikenaite

As a travel enthusiast with a lifelong love for exploration, I'm here to spark your sense of adventure and craft unforgettable travel experiences. From my teenage years of discovery to where I am now, I've ventured through countless journeys, delving into the rich cultures and breathtaking landscapes of Europe. To me, travel is more than just getting to a place—it's an exciting adventure of exploration. It's about embracing the unfamiliar and going off the usual routes. Whether it's discovering a stunning view, finding a cozy café by chance, or making unexpected connections with locals, it's these unexpected moments that make travel truly special.

What places and activities do you specialize in?

"I love hikes that lead you to breathtaking views, hidden waterfalls, and mountain landscapes. I take every opportunity that gives you local experience, and cultural knowledge. I love exploring cities full of history, diving into their fascinating stories, and uncovering their hidden secrets."

How did you get involved in travel?

"It all started when I was a kid, thanks to my parents. Every summer, they took me on amazing trips to different countries. These experiences sparked my curiosity and love for exploration. "

Please share a unique travel experience you will never forget.

"One travel experience that will forever remain in my memory is my journey to Iceland. It holds a special place in my heart because I not only visited once but felt compelled to return for a deeper adventure. Initially, I visited during the winter for a vacation, but I was so captivated by the country's unique charm that I made the decision to return and live there for a while. Trust me when I say that the memories created in Iceland will stay with you for a lifetime. It is an extraordinary destination that leaves an indelible mark on your soul."

This hotel was very cute and we loved the breakfast! The rooms were clean and nicely decorated! My suggestions for this hotel would be have more counter space in the bathroom, very hard to get ready with no place to put anything! I would also have liked to have a place to put our luggage other than the floor. Other than that, it was perfect!

There were a few mix ups with transportation but worked out in the end. It would have been nice to know the names of the companies that our excursions were booked with because you did not know who was coming to meet you and pick you up. Also, there were a couple times when looking at the schedule things could have been moved around to allow you more time do activities or for example to not have early morning activities after a late night aurora hunt but then have another day when you start late after no events the night before. The advertisement for the shuttle at Apukka was not very accurate as it only went a few times a day and if you did not take their shuttle a cab to the city was almost 50 euro and to Christmas Village was 35 euro so that was not ideal.

Hotel Review
Apukka Resort
Rovaniemi

Great hotel and beautiful location. It is farther away from Christmas Village and city so be aware of that. Might be more ideal if you have your own car. Their shuttle bus does not run as often as they advertise it does and if you don't take it - the cost of taxi to city and the Village is quite expensive.

First of all - I see above that it says it was 4 hours that was not true. It was 2 hours and 15 minutes long. The guide was nice and had good information. We did not go to all the sites that the kimkim agenda listed we were going to see. There was not time to go into some of the sites for example the main cathedral we just looked at from the outside. The guide seemed upset when people wanted to stay at a place for a few minutes and take pictures, he was very on the move and did not allow for much time to look around or take pictures.

Again - no northern lights seen but overall guide was friendly and tried various locations. He did not really talk at all about the northern lights so if you wanted background on the aurora, what causes them, when to see them, history etc. you will not get that.

Hi Kathy, Thank you so much for your feedback and kind words about your trip in Finland. I'm truly glad to hear that overall, you enjoyed your experience. Finding that balance between activities and relaxation is key, and your feedback helps us improve. I apologize for the unexpected changes to the Helsinki tour and transportation mix up. Once again, thank you for the opportunity to assist you with your trip to Finland. And as I say, if those Northern Lights didn't make an appearance this time, it's just a sign that you'll have to come back to Scandinavia! 🥰

Miglé helped us plan an amazing trip. The type and pace of activities were perfectly customized to us. Some of the things we enjoyed the were Husky Ride and Floating under the Stars in Rovaniemi and Arctic Fjords in Tromso. We couldn't have selected better hotels ourselves in both locations. She ensured we experienced an Igloo hotel and a Snow hotel which were both incredible.

We appreciate that Miglé was available every time we had a question or concern and even managed to get us a refund for an activity we couldn't do because of the weather.

I highly recommend the husky rides, sauna and arctic dip, floating under the stars, lappish reindeer farm craft adventure. Every guide brought new interesting facts about their culture. The small group activities were perfect.
Appuka resort was absolutely beautiful.
Bundle up as the temps were between -15 and -28. With the proper clothes Migle recommended we were completely comfortable walking over frozen lakes, wooded trails, viewing the Northern lights late at night.
Outstanding trip!!
