Short reindeer and husky sleigh rides, Santa Claus Village, then a guided northern lights hunt at two spots from Rovaniemi.
“The activities were brilliant! We had sled rides with huskies and reindeers, got to see, pet and feed a variety of animals and the sights were beautiful. Our guide, Aleksander, was super friendly and helpful, always explaining about everything and keeping the conversation lively. The Aurora hunting in the evening was cloudy, but with the guide’s direction we could see some glimpses of light activity and even photograph the green dancing light through the thinner clouds. We were provided BBQ (sausages and veggie) and marshmallows. It was all loads of fun and super chill, with a small group.Read more”

“⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ This tour was an absolute highlight of our trip to Lapland! The reindeer sleigh ride was serene and magical — slowly gliding through the snow-covered forest was like something out of a fairy tale. The reindeer were calm, well cared for, and the handlers shared interesting facts about them. The husky safari brought a whole different level of excitement. The dogs were full of energy and clearly loved to run. Riding through the snowy trails with them was exhilarating and beautiful. We also got to spend some time with the huskies afterward, which was a lovely touch. The guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made the experience feel safe and…”

“Wir wurden pünktlich von unserem Hotel abgeholt und sind dann direkt zum Santa Claus Village gefahren. Dort hat uns ein Guide in Empfang genommen der uns 10min grob gesagt hat wo wir was finden und wie dieses Dorf entstanden ist. Danach hatten wir Zeit alles zu erkunden und Santa zu treffen. Positiv: - pünktlicher Transfer - Guide Einweisung - Abholung nach Absprache jeder Zeit möglich! Negativ: - Super teuer! Der Eintritt in das Village ist kostenfrei und für jeden frei betretbar. Also wurde das viele Geld nur für den kurzen Transfer und die 10min mit dem Guide bezahlt.”
