YOUR OWN PRIVATE MOMENT WITH SANTA IN LAPLAND

MEET & FEED SANTA'S REINDEER

A CHRISTMAS EXPERIENCE JUST FOR YOUR GROUP

This experience is designed around your family or private group. From transportation in Rovaniemi to your time with Santa and the reindeer, the focus is on creating a relaxed and personal experience rather than following the pace of a large tour group.

*****
”I think this is the only place that offers an aurora tour that is never canceled. If you only have a few days to stay and absolutely want to see the northern lights, even if the weather is bad, I highly recommend this tour! Even though it's expensive, it's totally worth it! Our guide was an expert in aurora hunting and took us on a four-hour one-way trip to Sweden, where we successfully saw the aurora. It will be a memory I will cherish for the rest of my life!”

*****
The tour guide was very nice and friendly. Although the weather was not good, he was very responsible in taking us around to look for the aurora.

”An excellent experience. Timo drove for hours until we found a spot with no clouds or fog, where we were able to enjoy a spectacular aurora borealis. His tenacity, experience, and kindness were essential for witnessing such a magnificent sight. Furthermore, during our travels, we had very interesting conversations about the aurora borealis, the wildlife, and daily life in Finland. I highly recommend this experience with Timo.”

*****
”I had the absolute pleasure of doing this tour with Timo! He is incredibly knowledgeable and friendly, and he explains everything about the area while also making great conversation along the way. The Korouoma waterfalls were amazing. The snowy landscape and views were definitely one of the highlights of my trip to Finland. A BBQ is included in the trip, which was also delicious.”

READY TO MEET SANTA CLAUS?

MORE THAN JUST MEETING SANTA

For many children, meeting Santa Claus in Lapland is something they have imagined for years. We believe a moment this special shouldn't feel like something that needs to be rushed.

That's why this experience is private.

You'll have time to meet Santa, talk with him and capture those important family photographs before continuing outside to meet the reindeer.

The experience combines two of Lapland's most iconic Christmas traditions in one memorable visit: Santa Claus and his reindeer.

SOME MOMENTS ARE WORTH TRAVELLING TO LAPLAND FOR

Children grow up.

Christmases come and go.

But there are some family moments that stay with us for the rest of our lives.

Walking into Santa's house in Lapland, seeing your child's reaction when Santa greets them and meeting his reindeer outside isn't simply another activity to fit into a holiday itinerary.

It's one of those moments you came to Lapland to experience.
