Day 1: The Magic Begins
The excitement starts the moment you board your flight. Upon arrival in Lapland, our team of “Arctic Stars” will be waiting to whisk you away. During the scenic transfer to Ruka Valley, we’ll brief you on the mission ahead: finding Santa Claus himself!
We’ll make a quick stop to kit you out with your complimentary thermal snowsuits and boots before checking into your accommodation. Whether you choose a contemporary, Scandi-chic Valley Apartment or a cozy, traditional Aurin Apartment—complete with a private sauna and crackling log fire—you’ll be surrounded by picturesque Arctic beauty. Enjoy a relaxed buffet dinner as you rest up for the main event tomorrow.
Day 2: The Search for Santa
After a hearty breakfast, the real adventure begins. We’ll head out by coach to hidden locations near Ruka Valley to meet Santa’s elusive elves. You’ll be assisted by the local huskies and reindeer, who are eager to help you track down the Big Man.
Will Wendy Wood, Santa’s Chief Toymaker, lead you to the secret hideaway? Or will the mischievous Tricky Dicky try to send you in the wrong direction? The adventure is yours to uncover.
Experience the Magic:
-
Arctic Thrills: Enjoy snowmobiles, exhilarating husky mushing, and traditional reindeer sleigh rides.
-
Elven Fun: Join the elves for their favorite snow games.
-
The Magical Post Office: Peek inside where the elves sort mail from children worldwide—listen closely, as they might just whisper a clue about where Santa is hiding.
-
Meet Mrs. Claus: Keep your ears peeled; she may just have the final piece of the puzzle.
When you finally discover Santa’s secret home, he’ll be delighted to welcome you, with a special gift for every child. We’ll celebrate our successful mission this evening with a grand “We Found Santa” party following dinner.
Day 3: Farewell to the Arctic
Enjoy one last warm breakfast before saying your goodbyes to the elves. It’s time to depart the magical world of Lapland as we transfer you back to the airport for your flight home, carrying memories that will last a lifetime.
