Lapland is Finland’s northernmost region, a sparsely populated area bordering Sweden, Norway, Russia and the Baltic Sea. It’s known for its vast subarctic wilderness, ski resorts and natural phenomena including the midnight sun and the Northern Lights. Capital Rovaniemi is the gateway to the region.

Rovaniemi is the capital of Lapland. It’s a modern city known for being the "official" home town of Santa Claus, and for viewing the Northern Lights. It’s home to Arktikum, a museum and science center exploring the Arctic region and the history of Finnish Lapland.

You can meet Santa Claus and cross the magical Arctic Circle every day at the Santa Claus Village in Rovaniemi in Lapland, Finland.

Santa Claus spends his time at Santa Claus Village every day of the year to take care of his mission in life; to enhance the well-being of children and the kindness of grown-ups, as well as spread the message of love and goodwill and the Christmas Spirit across the globe.

You will be brought to the museum once you finish your tour at Santa Claus Village.

Evening / Northern Lights Hunt by car/bus, 3 hours

120 € / adult

100 € / child 4-12 y.

Eager to see the northern lights? This adventure ups your chances of witnessing this extraordinary natural phenomenon. Absorb the silent winter setting and stay warm with a hot drink and sausages sizzled up on a campfire. Look for the lights and – if luck is on your side – enjoy a memorable display of the luminescent ribbons as they dance overhead.

DAY 3

Breakfast at the hotel.

Morning / Reindeer Farm Visit & Reindeer Safari, 3 hours

150 € / adult

115 € / child 4-12 y.

Witness the life of reindeer first-hand as they go about their daily work and relaxation. Take up the unique opportunity to sit an exam on handling a reindeer sled and receive your special “driver’s license” (available for all ages). Have a seat in the sled and you are off! Getting cold? Warm yourself up around a bonfire in a nearby hut and enjoy a cup of hot juice. Later, in a traditional Lapp hut you will be “baptized” according to all rules of the North.

Afternoon / Snowmobile safari around Rovaniemi, 3.5 hours

155 € / adult / 2 pax per snowmobile*

220 € / adult / 1 pax per snowmobile*

115 € / child 4-14 y. in sledge**

This safari is a good option for those who want to get a real feeling for snowmobiling. Even close to Rovaniemi centre, the wilderness surrounds you. We take it easy when departing from the base and ensure that you are comfortable with the snowmobile and make a few stops on the way. Feel free to ask your guide about snowmobiling in general or for some tricks on how to drive, unless you are busy taking pictures of the arctic beauty around you.

* Only a person possessing a valid driving license is allowed to drive a snowmobile.

** Children under 140 cm may participate in the main safari in a sledge only. Taller children may be allowed to travel as a passenger on a snowmobile provided they are strong enough to hold on tight (to be defined by the guide upon departure, full price applies).

DAY 4

Breakfast at the hotel.

Morning / Husky Farm Visit & Husky Safari, 3 hours

155 € / adult

125 € / child 4-12 y.

Professional dog-breeders will introduce you to the life of the huskies on the farm, and you will complete a brief course of “a young dog-breeder”. Following that, you will set off on your 5 km (15-20 min.) safari on dog sleds that hold 1-3 people. Should you wish, you can make a photo stop along the way. At the end, you will be offered hot berry juice, tea or coffee, and traditional cookies.

Evening / Searching for Auroras on Snowmobiles, 4.5 hours

180 € / adult / 2 pax per snowmobile*

235 € / adult / 1 pax per snowmobile*

150 € / child 4-14 y. in sledge**

Driving through the dark landscapes is an awesome experience itself but if the sky is clear and you are lucky, you can experience the beautiful show of northern lights, a star-studded sky or the mystical full moon. Our goal is a wilderness camp at a location where you will have a clear outlook on the northern sky. Good stories, a tasty snack, and hot beverages are guaranteed even if the auroras fail us tonight.

* Only a person possessing a valid driving license is allowed to drive a snowmobile.

** Children under 140 cm may participate in the main safari in a sledge only. Taller children may be allowed to travel as a passenger on a snowmobile provided they are strong enough to hold on tight (to be defined by the guide upon departure, full price applies).
