What you'll do

Overview

Enjoy a fun filled itinerary in Lapland. You will be able to visit Santa Clause himself, and his reindeer! You will also have the chance to search for the Northern Lights and explore Lapland on a husky sled.

Throughout the trip you will be staying in a cosy glass roofed Igloo! They are an easy walking distance to and from the restaurant and your activities are just a short walk  from the igloos.

Your trip will start with a short transfer from Rovaniemi airport to the accommodation, where you will have time to settle in and explore your surroundings and sample the Lappish hospitality and delicious Lappish cuisine before settling in to your igloo and watching the enormous star filled sky at night.

Your next day will be filled with excitement as you are off to Santa’s village with its magical Christmas atmosphere. You will then search for the Aurora Borealis on your Northern Lights wilderness tour, which is an unforgettable experience.

The following day will start with a husky safari through the winter wonderland, then you will have change to meet a Lappish Reindeer herd and take a sleigh ride, dashing through the snow with the reindeer ahead.

Finally, you take a trip on a family snowmobiling adventure that gets you off the beaten track, for a true Lapland adventure.

A magical winter wonderland adventure for all the family!

*from pricing based on family of 3 in a Premium Igloo, travelling in December-March

Please note: Whilst all the activities mentioned will be included in your trip, the order of the activities may vary and your personal itinerary with be given to you on arrival.

Arrival in Rovaniemi

You will be transferred from Rovaniemi airport to your hotel. There you will have free time to go and explore your surroundings and get your bearings. Enjoy browsing in Santa Claus village, taking in your first views of the snow covered wilderness and magical Christmas atmosphere.

Santa's Village and Northern Lights

Today you will have the morning free so this is your chance to visit the man himself, Santa Claus! Take the short walk from your igloo to spend time in Santa’s Village and enjoy the magical Christmas atmosphere. Spend as much time as you wish walking around and enjoying all that his village has to offer, you can see Santa’s post office where all the letters from children all over the world are sent, sorted and delivered, the elves workshop, many independent shops with christmas souvenirs, Lappish crafts and of course Santa’s office, where you can go along and meet Santa Claus.

Following this you will have the chance to see a natural phenomenon in the form of the Northern Lights on your evening hunt for the Aurora Borealis (4 hours).

This experience is almost always done in the complete dark, this way your eyes get time to adjust to the dark and you see the scenery in a completely new and beautiful way.

On the way, you will also get the opportunity to build a fire, either outside, next to a log hut or in a teepee. Your guide will teach you how to light a fire in the traditional way, using silver birch bark and flint. Once the fire is lit and the kettle is boiling, your guide will keep an eye on the moving sky. While waiting for the first greenish arches to appear above your head, they will share with you their knowledge and passion about the forest, the nature of Lapland and its wildlife, and naturally the northern lights. You will also get some hot beverages to warm you up, grill your own sausages over the open fire and enjoy your snack with the most famous Finnish mustard.

We can’t always guarantee that you will see them due to weather conditions but your local guides will try their hardest to find them for you. If not you can always try again the next night!

 

Husky Safari and Reindeer Farm

After a buffet breakfast at your accommodation, enjoy your time in this winter wonderland with a safari led by your own dog team and see what Lapland has to offer (2.5 hours). With beautiful views and amazing wildlife, it is bound to be an unforgettable experience.

No-snow alternative (in case of low snow conditions only – in exceptional circumstances)

2.5 Hour Husky Safari

Huskies are not born fit, it takes lots of preparation and conditioning before the dogs are as fit as they can be. Visit the kennel and get a feel for how the dogs are prepared to be the amazing athletes they are.

Our enthusiastic dogs will happily take you down the forest trail for an unforgettable experience.

In the afternoon you will be collected for your visit to a local reindeer farm to meet the famous gentle Lappish creatures up close and explore the Taiga forest by sleigh on your reindeer safari (around 3 hours). Once you arrive with your guide to the farm, you will be invited to take your seat in the reindeer sleigh.

The sleigh is suitable for adults and children to sit together and as you glide through the snowy forest and white scenery, you may spot some other arctic animals, or at least see their tracks in the snow. When you come back from the safari, which is around 2.5 kms, a warm cup of coffee or tea and traditional snacks will wait for you on the farm. The herder will explain all about their lifestyle and the tradition of reindeer husbandry in Lapland. This is the best time to ask questions and feed your curiosity!

Before leaving and heading back to Rovaniemi, you may ask your guide to spend a bit more time in the farm if you would like to.

No-snow alternative:

Reindeer Farm Visit

Come and meet the most iconic animal of Lapland! Your guide will drive you in a small group (never more than 8 people) to one of the most traditional reindeer farms in Lapland. The family of reindeer herders are based just outside of Rovaniemi, Finland, on the lovely shores of a peaceful lake they provide the best experience possible! They are a  a family of reindeer farmers who will show you their way of life and the history and importance of the reindeer in Lapland. You can also pet and feed the little ones before you set off on your leisurely sleigh ride.

 

Family Snowmobiling

Today, you’ll head right out into the Lapland wilderness, travelling like the locals do on a thrilling snowmobile ride that crosses wide open fells, quiet forests and rolling, snow-covered hills joining in on a Snowmobile safari through remote inland forests and lakes. On this 1-hour driving snowmobile safari you will enjoy some amazing scenery. At the Snowmobile Park  your expert guide will provide all the instructions you need before you set off through an unforgettable trail in the Arctic Circle area. You will be driving in pairs, one driver and one passenger on each snowmobile, with opportunity to switch places during the trip. Due to the dramatic topography, a reduced speed is held during parts of the tour. You will love the thrilling excitement of snowmobiling through snowy forests and beautiful nature of the Arctic Circle. Our group sizes are small and the speed and the length of the safari will depend on each group. Therefore, these safaris are suited for families as well as for those who are looking for a real adrenaline boost. The one-hour safari is great for families and non-experienced drivers. The snowmobile trail will take you to the most beautiful places in the arctic circle area.

In a private area, the kids will be able to spend time on a mini snowmobile and enjoy the thrill of whizzing around on their own, before being taken on a sleigh back to Santa’s Village.

No-snow alternative:

Korouoma Canyon Hike (7 Hours) or Wilderness Survival Tour (3 Hours)

Experience the beauty of Arctic Wilderness in the peaceful atmosphere of breathtaking Korouoma Canyon. Your guide will take you through the forests to the best spots where you can fully enjoy the silence of nature in Lapland.
