Lapland Family Explorer

Welcome to Finland, an exciting adventure in Lapland awaits you. Upon arrival at Rovaniemi Airport you'll be met and transferred to your hotel. You might wish to head outside this evening in an attempt to spot the elusive but dazzling Northern Lights, being close to the arctic circle gives you a great chance of spotting them, provided the weather is clear and the conditions are right.

Discover the secrets of Santa and his helpers this morning as you meet Father Christmas himself. Stroll around Santa's village and visit his very special post office which receives thousands of letters from hopeful children around the world. After enjoying a delicious lunch we'll hop on snowmobiles and take an exhilarating ride to a reindeer farm.

At the reindeer farm we'll have the opportunity to meet the reindeer and learn more about their importance to the communities in Lapland. Next enjoy a short reindeer sleigh ride through the beautiful snowy landscape before returning to the city on by bus for the remainder of the day at leisure.

Today is spent at your own leisure. This afternoon there is an optional excursion to embark on an enthralling Reindeer safari Along the Reindeer Path. Sit back in your reindeer sled and enjoy the peaceful and stunning winter wonderland that is all around you. The sounds of the reindeer caravan will be the perfect soundtrack for this exciting ride. Returning to the reindeer farm enjoy some hot drinks & snacks to warm up while listening to the stories of the reindeer herders life.

Later, we'll go in search of the Northern Lights, a dream for many people and being close to the Arctic circle offers some of the best opportunities to do that. With a guide we'll head out of the city this evening and away from the lights, we'll enjoy a lappish picnic under the nights sky and if the conditions are right you'll be able to watch the Northern Lights dancing across the sky.

This morning we'll hear the friendly barks of huskies as we visit a local farm. From the farm we'll experience the huskies get to work as we enjoy a sledge ride out into the wilderness. This thrilling experience involves teams of two taking it in turns to take the reins across the 7-10km path. Stopping en route there will be the opportunity to take photos of these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat.

The rest of the day is at leisure.

Today ends your amazing family adventure in Finland, a non-guided transfer will be provided to take you to the airport.
