Day 1

On arrival into Lapland it is off to the dressing room to wrap up against the freezing temperatures. Once you are snug we move onto Snowland, where you will join elf school and learn the skills of snow-sculpting, elf dancing, tandem skiing, sledging, mini skidoos and the art of delivering presents by toboggan. After all this fun we will head off to the stunning igloo restaurant where the furniture is sculpted from ice - it's the perfect setting for a scrumptious lunch before returning to your accommodation to enjoy the evening at your leisure.

Day 2

Today the Search for Santa will truly begin. At the Reindeer Park you will dash through the sugary landscapes in true Santa style, get your very own reindeer driving license, pick up the pace with an exhilarating sled ride pulled by Santa's furry huskies and a short snowmobile ride across the icy lakes. Take time to thaw out your fingers and toes around the open fire in a snug Lappish Kota as you listen to a Shaman telling traditional stories about age-old Lappish folklore in the 'Ceremony of the Crossing of the Arctic Circle'. The highlight of your day will be meeting the famous man with the red coat and curly white beard! Ask the elves how to say hello in Finnish and then whisper your Christmas wishes in his ear. After lunch you will visit Santa Claus's Village where you can wander around the Christmas wonderland, pick up festive gifts and send letters to your friends from the Main Post Office that will be stamped with the genuine Arctic Circle Postmark. After this exciting day you will be taken back to your accommodation where the rest of the afternoon will be at your leisure.

Day 3

After breakfast the morning will be free to enjoy a final optional excursion. In the afternoon venture to Santa Claus' Village to pick up any last minute presents and postcards. Then it's time to travel to the magical forest for the Christmas Fantasy adventure. You will follow the illuminated fairytale path through the forest to meet the elves and their forest friends. Mrs Claus is looking forward to meeting you and will be welcoming you into her kitchen for a bowl of her Christmas porridge, if you're very lucky Santa Claus may be around too. Then the elves will take you back through the forest in time for your transfer to the airport filled with happy memories to take home and share.
