Day One
The children will love being greeted at Ivalo Airport by a reindeer with its Sami handler, and one of Santa's elves - a delightful photo opportunity to capture your family's first few minutes in Santa's homeland.
A short, comfortable 25-minute coach-ride transfers you to your hotel or cosy chalet in Saariselk, with just enough time to see if you can spot more reindeer or Santa's hut through the forests bordering the road.
Time for your "Michelin-man" impersonations, as we get you fitted with your special complimentary thermal over-suits, boots, gloves and hats.
Fun-time and a chance to explore and get your bearings in this winter wonderland, make snowmen, go tobogganing or just relax in a fragrant Finnish sauna.
For chalet guests and hotel guests on our full-board
Day Two
We will pick you up for the ultimate Christmas adventure, enjoying all the following exciting activities at some point throughout the day, all of which are included in our prices.
Reindeer Sleigh Ride - meet your reindeer and your local Sami guide, learn the Lappish reindeer names, then take a wonderful 7-10 minute ride into the picturesque woods, with the children cuddled under blankets on your knee.
Husky Sled Ride, where the children get to ride with a parent (and shout "mush mush!" at every opportunity!), and grown-ups can all take a turn at actually "driving" your own sled! Imagine your sled, drawn by five or six eager huskies, straining at the leash and desperate to run, then released and you're off on a thrilling 20-30 minute adventure, racing through the snow-covered woods - the perfect way to experience Lapland's winter wonderland.
Traditional Arctic Circle Ceremony, where a Sami guide will introduce you to their traditional culture with stories and maybe a song or two, and every guest receives a special souvenir certificate to celebrate your intrepid crossing of the Arctic Circle.
Lunch is also included to recharge your batteries for the afternoon. This will be a simple 2-course meal with separate options for the children and plenty of hot berry juice, squash, tea and coffee available.
A host of snow and ice activities to enjoy such as ice-fishing, snow-hockey, kick-sledding (a crazy cross between a scooter and a toboggan!), tandem skiing, mini skidoo rides for the children, tobogganing and snow sculpture and a chance for all budding artists to convert a large block of compact snow into a work of art.
See your children's faces light up with wonder as you fulfil your family's Search for Santa Claus and meet Father Christmas himself, in an exclusive private family gathering, in his hideaway log-cabin home, with his helpers on hand to make you welcome and ensure there is magic in the air!
Refreshments are included too and are available indoors throughout the day, for those times when a few minutes warming up is welcome.
Finally, back home in your hotel or chalet, sit down as a family and enjoy a wonderful Gala Dinner (optional in hotels) and relive every unforgettable moment of your biggest ever Christmas adventure!
Day Three
Fun-time again, with the chance to thrill to another big adventure, whether pre-booked in the UK or chosen the night before from our Optional Adventures. You may have fallen in love with the huskies and want to experience the sled ride again, or perhaps try or snowmobiling - there are plenty of options to choose from.
If you've booked our full-board option, a light packed lunch will be provided from your hotel or chalet to be eaten at your convenience. This allows you to make the most of your last morning in Saariselk, where time can also be spent in a range of souvenir shops selling traditional Lappish items and Christmas gifts.
We will collect you from your doorstep by coach and take you to the airport to catch your flight home, to a chorus of fond farewells.
This special gift is our way of saying a big 'Thank You' for all your continued support throughout the years and also for booking your events, parties and launches with PLANitOLOGY Productions in December 2008.
