Transfer from Kittilä airport to Äkäslompolo village. In the late afternoon our tour escort will take you for a walk to the supermarket where you will be able to purchase breakfast supplies for your cabin (choose your own supplies and pay for these locally). You will then be able to enjoy a relaxing breakfast in the comfort of your own each morning with your family before the day's activities.

Free time for relaxing in your cabin (if not tonight at some other stage): light the fire, make a cup of tea and watch the kids make their first snowman. You have kick sledges, snowshoes and cross country skis at your disposal, too.

In the evening dinner at a local restaurant, you will meet your fellow travellers at a welcome dinner.

Enjoy your first evening in Lapland. With no light pollution and no noise you can truly feel the beauty of the Arctic night, admire the night sky and hopefully see the Northern Lights. Hear the silence of the wilderness and breathe in the cleanest air in Europe.

After breakfast, transfer to Elämänluukku in a secret forest and be greeted by an old shaman who will introduce you to the Arctic Circle Crossing Ceremony. Outside there is plenty of fun snow activities - tandem skiing, snowshoe walking, kick sledging, tobogganing and children's snowmobiling. Decorate gingerbread cookies and make Christmas decorations in Elämänluukku, where we will also enjoy lunch.

Each family will receive an invite from Santa with your scheduled time for a visit. Visit to Santa's cabin starts with short snowmobile sleigh ride, followed by a short reindeer ride. Santa's cabin is in the forest and secluded and each family has a guaranteed private visit. Santa reads children's letters and each child receives a small gift from Santa.

In the evening we will enjoy a traditional Christmas Day buffet dinner at a local restaurant.

Enjoy a relaxing family breakfast in the comfort of your own cabin. The rest of the day is free and you may wish to take part in some optional activities.

Neither lunch or dinner are not included today, so you can either get supplies from the local supermarket or try one of the local restaurants.

Please note: Optional activities are not included in the tour price.

Today we will meet our doggy friends, the huskies. Bus transfer to a nearby husky farm where we are greeted by a bunch of friendly barking and yapping dogs, eager to get going! After a very important safety briefing, children will be placed in the guides’ sleighs and the parents will share a dog team. And off we go mushing through the snowy forest!

Drive through snow-covered forests and over open plains. In this safari, snowmobiles are not used, the guides will also ride the Husky sledges. Driver can be changed in the half way of the safari.

Please note children under 18 are unable to drive the sledges.

In the evening, dinner at a local restaurant.

After breakfast, bus transfer to a local reindeer farm. On our visit we will get close to these beautiful creatures. Your guide will tell you about reindeers, their indigenous Sami culture and life in the Arctic. To round up the outing we will visit the reindeer gallery,which is a museum as well as an art gallery. You can warm up in the hut or the lean-to shelter where we offer real campfire coffee, cookies and reindeer sausages.

We will then have a short reindeer sleigh ride along a track through the forest, before heading back to Äkäslompolo.

In the evening dinner at a local restaurant.

Today we will have a go at ice fishing and snowmobiling. After a snowmobile drive to a frozen lake you get to experience the traditional way of winter fishing – through a hole in the ice. We will enjoy wilderness lunch, and hopefully you'll be lucky enough to catch your own fish.

Rest of the afternoon free: curl up by the fire with your favourite book and enjoy the view of the winter paradise outside, or take a toboggan or snowshoes and head outside.

It is our last evening in Lapland. Enjoy a farewell dinner with the group.

After breakfast, transfer to Kittilä airport.
