Itinerary:

The children will love being greeted by a reindeer with its Sami handler, and one of Santa’s elves, presenting a delightful photo opportunity to capture your family’s arrival day in Santa’s homeland.

Time for your ‘Michelin-man’ impersonations, as we get you fitted with your special complimentary thermal over-suits, boots, gloves and hats.

The ultimate Christmas adventure begins with a short comfortable 20-minute coach ride as we whisk you to our secluded forest location to enjoy all the following exciting activities at some point throughout the day, all of which are included in our prices.

Reindeer Sleigh Ride - meet your reindeer and your local Sami guide, learn the Lappish reindeer names, then take a wonderful 7-10 minute ride into the picturesque woods, with the children cuddled under blankets on your knee.

Husky Sled Ride - where the children get to ride with a parent (and shout ‘mush mush!’ at every opportunity!), and grown-ups can all take a turn at actually ‘driving’ your own sled! Imagine your sled, drawn by five or six eager huskies, straining at the leash and desperate to run, then released and you’re off on a thrilling 10-15 minute adventure, racing through the snow-covered woods - the perfect way to experience Lapland’s winter wonderland.

Lunch is also included to recharge your batteries for the afternoon and all the fun and excitement still to come. This will be a simple 2-course meal with separate options for the children and plenty of hot berry juice, squash, tea and coffee available.

Traditional Arctic Circle Ceremony - where a Sami guide will introduce you to their traditional culture with stories and maybe a song or two, and every guest receives a special souvenir certificate, to celebrate your intrepid crossing of the Arctic Circle.

Other Activities - A host of snow and ice activities to enjoy such as snow-hockey, kick-sledding (a crazy cross between a scooter and a toboggan!), tandem skiing, mini skidoo rides for the children, ice-fishing, tobogganing and snow sculpture – a chance for all budding artists to convert a large block of compact snow into a work of art.

See your children’s faces light up with wonder, as you head off into the woods by snowmobile-sled to fulfil your family’s Search for Santa, and meet Santa Claus himself, in an exclusive private family meeting in his hideaway log-cabin home, with his helpers on hand to make you welcome and ensure there is magic in the air!

Refreshments are included too and are available indoors throughout the day, for those times when a few minutes warming up are welcomed.

Finally, back to the airport by coach to catch your flight home, to a chorus of fond farewells, and for tired but happy children to grab a snooze on the flight!

Our comments:

As much fun for the adults as the children.

Private family meeting with Santa in his log cabin in the woods.

Charming, unspoilt location, not commercialised as other trip locations.

Snowmobile search for Santa

Great choice of activities
