Day 2 in Lapland

After breakfast, it is time to meet Rudolph, Dancer, Prancer and their friends and enjoy fun and games in the snow. Everybody will be given reindeer driving lessons and receive their own Reindeer Driving Certificate as well as enjoying a traditional 'Crossing the Arctic Circle' ceremony. Along with meeting the reindeer herders in their traditional 'kota', there will be time for tandem-skiing, snow shoeing, tobogganing and trips on mini-snowmobiles for the children. Lunch in the hotel restaurant; after which it is time for a family snowmobile safari through the snow clad forest. Stop mid-way for a warming berry juice by an open fire before returning to the hotel for a relaxing sauna. In the evening, the flickering flames of the lumberjacks' candles invite us to gather in the Aurora Borealis 'kota' restaurant alongside the hotel.

Day 3 in Lapland

After breakfast, it is time for the adventure of the day with over 250 friendly Siberian huskies eager to pull our sleighs through the Arctic forest. There are cute baby ones, big ones - all sorts, each with their own name and after our guides show us how to handle a dog sleigh, you will take a short ride through the forest. Lunch in the hotel restaurant, after which you set off on a forest trail to find your Christmas tree which later your children will help decorate.

Afterwards, each family travels individually by sleigh to meet Father Christmas in his traditional wooden 'kota'. Whilst waiting to meet him and make known your wishes, everybody can help make decorations and bake ginger-bread cookies.

Later this evening you will enjoy a traditional Finnish buffet dinner culminating in a visit by Father Christmas who will have a small present for everyone, after which there will be dancing with elves.
