Get the full Lapland experience with Santa and his elves. Revel in a reindeer barn show, a festive gala dinner, and see the elves perform in a real igloo. Jump on a snowmobile sleigh and follow the glow trail to search for Santa.
Our Santa’s Magic package is available to book for 2 or 3 nights. Below is a sample itinerary of what you can expect on our magical 2 night Lapland holiday.
Day 1Welcome to SaariselkäIt’s finally here, you’ll be heading 200km above the Arctic Circle to a land that feels like another world.
Look out for the cheeky elves who’ll meet you in Saariselkä
Can you speak their language? We’ll then whisk you away to your hotel. The afternoon is yours for snowy adventures - you’ll all be cosy and snuggly with complimentary thermal suits so you can properly explore a real winter wonderland.
Watch your kids buzz with excitement as they decide what to do first.
Tobogganing
This is the longest toboggan run in the whole of Finland, even the grown-ups can bring out their inner child for this. Twist and turn your way down, then head back for another go.
Snow, glorious snow
Create new snow friends by building snowmen and carving out snow angels in the thick snow. Have a snowball fight with unlimited powdery ammunition - your thermal suits will keep you warm and dry.
Then it’s time for a tasty dinner. You’re in magical Lapland - and tomorrow, we search for Santa.
Day 2Search for SantaToday’s the day. Our elves will lend a helping hand while you travel by husky and reindeer, following Santa's magical glow trail to find his secret cabin.
Husky sled ride
Our energetic huskies are ready to sprint into action, racing you through the snowy woodland wilderness. This is how the elves get around, swooshing through the snow, cuddled up and cosy. Even better, the grown-ups get to take a turn at driving.
Reindeer sleigh ride
Snuggle under the blankets in the sleigh, while your local Sami guide takes the reins. Rudolph’s friends will transport you around the incredible scenery - you’ve never seen scenery quite like this.
Elves in the igloo
The elves have built two real igloos where you’ll get to see one of their fun-filled elvish shows. They’ve wrapped some presents and can’t quite remember what’s in them. They’ll need a little interactive help from your kids to figure it all out.
Then, pop to the igloo next door to see their glistening ice bar, where you can relax with a drink - and don’t worry, there’s plenty of ice cubes for your refreshing beverage.
Reindeer Centre
Learn about Santa’s magical sleigh-flyers with a fun show. Discover what they eat and how they handle hot and cold weather. Play some Crazy Reindeer Golf, try your hand at the reindeer lasso or feed our reindeer friends.
Time for lunch
Recharge your batteries with a wonderfully warming 2-course meal and plenty of hot berry juice.
Snow and ice activities
Get stuck into some winter games with kick-sledding, snow-hockey, skidoo rides and more tobogganing. The best bit? Have as many goes as you like.
Get cosy in a Kota
Pop inside a traditional Kota (it’s like a teepee) where you can warm up around the soothing cracks and snaps of an open fire, served with delicious refreshments like pancakes and hot berry juice.
Santa’s secret log cabin
Everything leads up to this magical moment, tucked away in the forests where dreams come true. All aboard the snowmobile sleigh for your private meeting with Santa - keep your eyes peeled for some surprises along the route too. A memory that lasts a lifetime.
Gala Dinner
Take all that enchantment and jubilation to our Gala Dinner where you’ll relive every unforgettable moment of a cracking Christmas adventure. Looking for more adventure? Before dinner, book a Northern Lights adventure by snowmobile.
Day 3Dream a little longerWe’ve brought you into our secret Lappish world, you’ve met Santa, and now there’s a little more time to explore.
Charming traditional shops
Have a wander round the village’s shops to see all the hand-made Lappish gifts, clothes, toys and Christmas trinkets. Take a memory home with you.
Looking for more adventure?
Head out on a sleigh or go for a winter walk in the snowy forest.
Then, it’s just a short trip back to your flight home. Make sure there’s plenty of room in your case for all the magical memories.
