Itinerary

Welcome to the Arctic Circle and the Finnish Lapland capital, Rovaniemi. As the home of Santa Claus should be, Rovaniemi is a magical arctic destination with crisp air, alpine forests, and cosy wilderness lodges. The town is sure to leave a lasting impression. Included in our tour is the use of warm winter clothes which we'll pick up this afternoon. We'll meet our small group this evening for a welcome dinner at our lodge. (D)

All aboard the snowmobile! Venture deep out into Rovaniemi's wilderness exploring the stunning scenery of the Arctic Circle during a snowmobile safari. Our snowmobile safari will take us through breathtaking and unique landscapes as we journey through some of Mother Nature's finest work. We'll enjoy a stop for lunch in the wilderness during our safari before returning back to Rovaniemi.

The afternoon is spent at leisure back at our wilderness resort. (B/L/D)

Get up close and personal with the huskies of Rovaniemi and take part in a husky safari. Huskies have been working with the locals of Lapland for centuries. These majestic animals have played an important role in the history of the area and this morning we'll learn about the world of dog sledding as we drive our own husky sled through the wilderness. When our safari comes to an end, we'll cosy up by the fire and enjoy hot berry juice and cookies in a Lappish tepee. This unique experience is sure to become one of your most favoured travel memories!

After lunch, we'll see more of Rovaniemi and visit the Arktikum, a museum and science centre that gives insight into the culture, nature and history of Lapland.

Perhaps the world's most iconic figure, Santa Claus calls Rovaniemi home and you can visit the city's most popular resident every day of the year. This afternoon we'll enjoy free time to explore Santa Claus Village where we can visit the man himself, shop for local handicrafts and enjoy some delicious treats. (B/L/D)

Step into the world of traditional transport in Lapland this morning during a reindeer safari. Special Experience: Put on your snowshoes and step out into the quiet wilderness for an evening hike through Rovaniemi's pristine forests. Special Experience: Enjoy a reindeer-led sleigh ride through the snowy wilderness and learn about these unique creatures. After our sleigh ride, we'll sip on warm drinks and eat pastries before getting the chance to feed the reindeer their favourite snacks. Back at the resort, we'll have lunch and time at leisure to explore the surrounding landscape or simply relax. A unique experience awaits after dinner this evening. We'll enjoy a stop during our hike for the opportunity to sit around a campfire, indulging in delicious warm snacks and hearing stories about the northern lights. If we're lucky, we might even catch a glimpse of them! (B/L/D)

The resort town of Levi is calling us today. Known for its ski slopes and views of the incredible Northern Lights, the town is home to sunning landscapes and a wide range of activities. We'll enjoy this morning at leisure before making our way through the wilderness of Finnish Lapland to Levi. Upon arrival, we'll have time to freshen up before our evening Northern Lights Tour. Special Experience: Set up a small fire in a remote location and look up in search for the incredible Northern Lights. The unpredictable, natural occurrence of the Northern Lights is one of the most magical and unforgettable experiences Mother Nature offers. Surrounded by some of Levi's most incredible scenery we'll search for the green hues in the black night sky whilst grilling snacks on the fire. (B/L)

Spend time in search for the catch of the day during ice fishing on one of Levi's many frozen lakes. Thanks to the cold winter temperatures, the lakes freeze over in the winter months and form a thick layer of ice that we'll spend our morning on. After drilling a hole into the ice, we'll cast our lines and try our luck at finding the catch of the day. Patience is a virtue when it comes to ice fishing, and as we wait for the perfect catch we'll learn more about the technique and hear stories from fishermen past. We'll taste our catch when we cook the fish on an open fire.

Levi is known for its abundance of Arctic activities and this afternoon we have the opportunity to enjoy them at our own pace. Let your adventurous side come out and explore the wilderness, visit quaint villages, or simply relax at our hotel, the options are endless. (B)

Our day is at leisure today to create our own adventures in Levi. From visiting ice and snow villages to cross country skiing, Aurora ice floating, to fatbike riding, ice karting, snowmobile safaris and more, lap up the last of this incredible Arctic destination. We'll meet back up with the group this evening for a farewell dinner together at a restaurant located on the outskirts of Levi. Special Experience: Enjoy a dinner of traditional Lapland delicacies including salmon, reindeer and more in an authentic Sami Turf kammi (a traditional Nordic hut). (B/D)

Our tour concludes after breakfast this morning. We say farewell to our new friends and to this incredible winter wonderland. Why not extend your stay in Levi and enjoy some time on the slopes? Add an extra couple of nights onto your stay in Levi and we can arrange the tickets, instructors and ski/snowboarding equipment for you! Speak to your consultant for details. (B)
