Itinerary
Day 1 Rovaniemi
Day 1 Rovaniemi
Welcome to Lapland and the beginning of an exciting trip. Upon arrival at Rovaniemi Airport you'll be met and transferred to your hotel. This evening why not step outside in the hope of seeing the elusive but magnificent 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.
Day 2 Husky Sledging
Day 2 Husky Sledging
An exhilarating morning awaits as we head to a husky farm. After an introduction to the excitable but well trained arctic dogs, we'll jump on our sledges and be whisked across the pristine winter forest close to the Arctic Circle. Each sled will have 2 riders who will take it in turns to control the reins. Passing through beautiful scenery we'll witness the power of these incredible animals before we return to their home where we have the opportunity to learn more about the life of a husky and enjoy a hot drink to warm us up. The rest of the day is at leisure.
Day 3 Optional Northern Lights Lake Floating
Day 3 Optional Northern Lights Lake Floating
Today offers free time to explore Rovaniemi at your own pace as there are no included activities today.
This evening there is an optional excursion for Aurora Ice Floating, where, after getting wrapped up in a thick rescue suit, you'll ease in and enjoy a relaxing float. Whilst it might sound a little bizarre, the high quality rescue suit will keep off the cold and let your mind rest as you relax under the nights sky, with the right conditions we'll hopefully have a mystical display from the Northern Lights.
Day 4 Snowmobile Safari and Reindeer Farm
Day 4 Snowmobile Safari and Reindeer Farm
Get ready for an exhilarating day as we jump on snowmobiles and take off into the Arctic wilderness and head for a reindeer farm. Your guide will take you through backwoods, past frozen trees and down tracks that lead to stunning natural landscapes. At the reindeer farm we'll get to interact and learn about Santa's flying friends before enjoying a short sleigh ride close to the farm. After returning to the farm we'll enjoy some warm drinks and take part in a lappish Arctic Circle ceremony housed inside a traditional tepee.
Returning to Rovaniemi, the rest of the day is at leisure.

All appointments and activities were on time with very friendly and helpful staff. On the Go need to emphasise that this is partially a selfguided tour so participants are well aware they have to fill in the gaps themselves.
