February Half Term 2026 Family Holidays



The ultimate February Half Term 2026 holiday
Off the Map Travel invites you to discover a spectacular winter wonderland across the Nordics, offering tailor made, luxurious family adventures perfect for multi generational travel. Forget crowded beaches; instead, experience the thrill of the Arctic, where snow blankets the winter landscape and thrilling, authentic experiences await every member of your family, from the youngest traveller to the eldest. Our meticulously curated 2026 collection focuses on exceptional accommodation and authentic snow based adventure, guaranteeing you craft truly magical memories together.



Luxury Accommodation Perfect for Multi Generational Stays
One of the cornerstones of a successful multi generational family holiday is comfortable, spacious, and unique accommodation that caters to diverse needs. Our handpicked collection of Nordic accommodation is designed specifically with families in mind, providing ample space for everyone to relax and connect. We move beyond standard hotel rooms to offer private lodges, expansive apartments, and secluded cabins in stunning natural settings across Finland, Sweden, Iceland, and Norway.

The Adventure Awaits: Authentic Arctic Experiences
The heart of our February Half Term 2026 offerings lies in the incredible adventure activities that thrive in the deep winter snow. We focus on genuine, respectful interactions with nature and powerful, exhilarating expeditions that bring the family closer together.
Dog Sledding Expeditions: Feel the rush of the cold air and the silence of the wilderness as a team of powerful huskies pull your sled across frozen lakes and through snow laden forests. Dog sledding is perhaps the most iconic Arctic activity, offering a fantastic blend of excitement and peace. We arrange private family safaris where you can take turns mushing the team under the guidance of expert local handlers, ensuring an exciting yet safe experience for all ages.

Snowmobile Safaris: For those seeking a thrilling, high speed adventure, a snowmobile safari is an absolute must. Navigate across the vast, frozen landscape, travelling farther and faster than you ever could on foot. Our safaris are conducted with safety as the highest priority and tailored to suit family groups, providing a powerful way to explore the rugged beauty of the northern regions of Sweden, Finland, and Norway.
Reindeer Encounters: A crucial part of the traditional Arctic way of life, meeting reindeer is a gentle and soulful experience. Your family will have the opportunity to learn about the Sámi culture and the careful husbandry of these magnificent creatures. Enjoy a quiet, calming reindeer sleigh ride through the snow, an activity that appeals particularly to younger children and offers a beautiful, picturesque moment for the whole family. We promise an authentic experience focused purely on the indigenous culture and the animals themselves, keeping the focus entirely on genuine Nordic tradition.

Finland: Rovaniemi Family Holidays
Rovaniemi, the official capital of Finnish Lapland, is an excellent base for a family adventure holiday. In February, the deep snow coverage is almost guaranteed, providing the perfect canvas for your activities. Off the Map Travel bypasses the crowded, mass market areas, instead designing a customised itinerary that uses Rovaniemi as a gateway to quieter, more exclusive experiences nearby. Enjoy high quality, modern accommodation with easy access to the wilderness. From Rovaniemi, your family can embark on private husky excursions and snowmobile trips, or learn about Finnish nature on a snowshoe trek. The accessibility of the destination combined with our commitment to tailored luxury ensures a stress free start to your February Half Term escape.

Sweden: Swedish Lapland Adventure
For a truly secluded multi generational travel experience, Swedish Lapland offers unparalleled wilderness and some of the world’s most unique accommodation. Imagine spending your nights watching the Northern Lights shimmer above your glass roofed cabin. The region is famous for its innovative, luxury retreats that provide bespoke private spaces, ideal for large family groups seeking peace and quiet. Here, you can combine exhilarating dog sledding with tranquil reindeer visits, immersing your family in the authentic, wild heart of the Arctic. The focus in Sweden is always on high quality, low impact tourism, delivering a thoughtful and rewarding family adventure.

Iceland: Reykjavik and the Golden Circle
While Reykjavik offers a different atmosphere to the remote Lapland destinations, it provides an equally rewarding February Half Term 2026 trip, especially for families who desire a combination of city culture and epic natural wonders. Using Reykjavik as your base, your family can access the famous Golden Circle, witnessing stunning geysers, waterfalls, and tectonic plate boundaries. In Iceland, the adventures are geothermal as well as snow based; try snowmobiling across glaciers, or soaking in a geothermally heated lagoon. Iceland delivers powerful landscapes and unique phenomena that provide endless conversation and unforgettable shared experiences for all generations. It is a land of fire and ice, offering dramatic backdrops for your magical memories.

Norway: Coastal Beauty and Arctic Wildlife
Norway offers a vast and varied landscape, from the dramatic fjords to the high Arctic regions. A family adventure holiday here could involve a combination of coastal exploration and deep snow activities. In Northern Norway, the focus is often on the incredible marine life, with opportunities for whale watching cruises that thrill all ages. On land, you will find excellent opportunities for dog sledding into the mountain plateaus and exciting excursions focused on the search for the Northern Lights. Our bespoke Norway itineraries often include staying in stylish, self contained lodges perfectly situated to minimise light pollution and maximise the chance of witnessing the Aurora Borealis, ensuring your multi generational group has the best possible winter experience.
Exceptional service throughout the entire planning and booking process – travel agencies don’t get any better than this. A brilliant, seamless experience matched by the holiday experience itself. Would recommend ‘Off the Map Travel’ to anyone considering booking for a Nordic experience ‘par excellence’.
Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.
Well-organized trip to Norway and Svalbard with great accommodations and activities. Gwen was communicative and responsive to requests. Highly recommend!
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!
Amy planned a fantastic trip! Everything was very well-thought out. All transfers went smoothly, accommodations were amazing, great restaurant recommendations and the tours were once-in-a-lifetime, can’t book it yourself off the internet experiences. The guides were all fantastic. Communications were prompt and everything worked exactly the way it was supposed to. What a pleasure! Already working on our next trip.
Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
My family and I traveled to Sweden to see The Northern Lights in March of 2023. From the planning process to every detail of the trip, I could not have been more pleased with our experience. Alex was exceptional to work with. His guidance on the time of year, where to stay, activities to do and how to get to and from everything was spot on. I have never used a tour company before but thought a trip of this kind would be easier with some help. I am so glad that I did. The entire week was seamless and completely stress-free, allowing us to truly enjoy Sweden and our time together as a family. I will be recommending Off The Map travel to friends and family and will certainly be using them myself again in the future.
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
Fantastic trip to Svalbard which delivered the true Arctic experience we were hoping for. The hotels were excellent and the activities – dog sledding and snowmobile expedition were lead by first class guides.
Top tip! The champagne tasting in the world’s most northerly wine cellar in the exceptional Funken Lodge is not to be missed!
