Itinerary
Day One
You will be greeted at Ivalo Airport by a reindeer with its Sami handler, and one of Santa's elves. A short 25-minute coach-ride to your hotel or chalet in Saariselka where you will be fitted with you complimentary thermal oversuits, boots, gloves and hats. There is then free time to get your bearings, make snowmen, go tobogganing or just relax before dinner.
Day Two
The highlight of the day is our thrilling one and a half hour Snowmobile Safari Adventure! Adults ride with a partner, taking turns (not compulsory) to drive or ride pillion, whilst children are towed in special sledges behind the guides, or older children may choose to ride pillion behind a parent. The memorable trip is broken halfway for hot drinks around a crackling campfire, with toboggans laid on to keep the youngsters happy! Lunch is also included either before or after your snowmobile adventure in one of the cosy local restaurants. 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. You can then choose from one of the optional activities or just enjoy Lapland at your own pace before dinner.
Day Three
Time for your chosen optional activities which include a Reindeer Sleigh Ride, a Traditional Arctic Circle Ceremony, a Husky Sled Ride. This is followed by lunch before you set off on your search for Santa at his hideaway log cabin home. Each family gets a exclusive family meeting. Finally, back 'home' in your hotel or chalet, sit down as a family and enjoy a wonderful Gala Dinner (optional in hotels), and re-live every unforgettable moment of your biggest ever Christmas adventure!
Day Four
Fun-time again, with the chance to thrill to another big adventure, whether pre-booked in the UK or chosen the night before from the ‘Optional Adventures’. You may have fallen in love with the huskies and want to enjoy the sled ride again, or perhaps experience skiing, Nordic style or downhill - there are plenty of options to choose from. You then set off after lunch for the airport.
