Day 1 – Santa Claus & Arctic Traditions

Begin your journey with a visit to the world-famous Santa Claus Village, where you can cross the Arctic Circle and meet Santa Claus in person. Capture memorable photos, send postcards from Santa’s official post office, and soak in the festive atmosphere year-round.

Continue your Arctic experience with a traditional reindeer sleigh ride, learning about Sámi culture and the centuries-old traditions of Lapland. Later, feel the thrill of a husky sled ride as energetic Arctic dogs guide you through snow-covered forests. These authentic experiences provide a perfect balance of culture, adventure, and scenic beauty.

In the evening, embark on your first short Northern Lights tour. Travel away from city lights with your private driver to carefully selected viewing spots. If the skies are clear, you may witness the breathtaking Aurora Borealis dancing across the Arctic sky — a truly magical experience.

Day 2 – Arctic Wildlife & Aurora Hunt

On the second day, enjoy a scenic drive to Ranua Wildlife Park, home to over 50 species of Arctic animals. Walk along forest pathways and observe polar bears, Arctic foxes, lynxes, moose, and many other northern species in spacious natural enclosures. The zoo visit offers a wonderful opportunity to learn about Arctic wildlife conservation while experiencing the serene beauty of Lapland’s wilderness.

After returning to Rovaniemi, relax before heading out for your second short Northern Lights tour. Having two opportunities significantly increases your chances of seeing this natural phenomenon.
