Lapland Rhapsody

Your flight from the UK to Rovaniemi Airport in Finnish Lapland normally departs at around 10 am.

On arrival in Lapland, our dedicated tour guides will be waiting to greet you and your family, then it’s time to board the coach for the journey to Pyhan Asteli.

A brief stop will be made en-route to the resort to collect your thermal snowsuits and boots. After checking in to your log cabin this evening, enjoy the welcome dinner in the restaurant.

After breakfast, your search for Santa begins.

Visit the Elf House, will Noisy Nod or Speedy Sam be at home today? Will they provide you with a clue as to where Santa may be?

This magical holiday to Lapland will enable you to experience traditional Arctic activities in small groups as you search for Father Christmas. Enjoy a relaxing reindeer sleigh ride through the forest at the farm; there will even be time to listen to a talk from the reindeer farmer and to feed some of the animals. A never to be forgotten experience.

After a hot lunch we will continue our search for Santa. Will we bump into Speedy Sam? This trusty helper races around Lapland organising things for Santa. Enjoy some snow games with the Elves and carefully listen to any clues they may give you as to where you may find Father Christmas.

On return to Pyhan Astelli make the most of the snow and enjoy some tobogganing

It’s time to sing the Elf Song as we continue our search for Santa.

Today we’ll see where Santa’s Elves sort the mail and we’ll meet the gallant huskies at the husky farm. Meet some of the dogs and learn about how they survive the cold winters in Lapland, then experience a thrilling husky safari either as a driver or a passenger. Will the huskies lead you to Santa?

Visit the Magical Post Office and view where the elves sort the many letters that Santa receives from children, all across the world.

When you finally discover Santa’s secret home, Mrs Claus will be waiting to greet you. Each family will have a private meeting with Santa, where naturally the children will receive a Christmas present from him.

This evening enjoy a festive dinner in the restaurant, then celebrate finding Santa at a party with the Elves.

Spend your last morning in Pyhan Asteli relaxing with a sauna or playing on the tobogganing slope.

After lunch, it will be time to say your farewells to Lapland. Join your coach guide in singing the Elf Song on the journey to Rovaniemi Airport.

A brief stop will be made (time permitting) in case you wish to purchase a souvenir of your stay in Santa's homeland.
