Depending on the time of your arrival, you can choose an evening activity from our list of optional excursions.

Overnight at Santa Claus Hotel or similar

At 09:15, start your 2,5-hr husky safari adventure and learn to guide your sled dog team through the white wilderness. After a short drive from town, you’ll arrive at a husky kennel, where friendly huskies will enthusiastically welcome you. Before departing on the safari, you will be instructed how to control the sleds. This safari allows you to experience something unique: the ties between the musher and the dogs formed on a joint expedition into the wilderness. You soon learn that behind its icy- blue gaze, a husky has a friendly character, who works closely with people. When sharing the husky sleigh on the safari, one is standing behind a sleigh as a controller/rider and one is sitting on a sleigh as a passenger. Roles can be changed during the safari.

Once you return to the kennel, you can enjoy hot berry juice by an open fire and chat with the musher about these amazing northern animals. Transfers, thermal outfit, guiding in English, husky kennel visit, 10km husky safari, information about huskies, hot beverage are included.

Good to know: Children are travelling in a large sleigh ridden by a guide.
Note: children under 4 years are not recommended to take part on the safari.

Rest of the day at leisure.

Check-out from your hotel and take a private transfer to Santa Igloos Arctic Circle, where you will spend two unforgettable nights in a premium igloo under the lights of Aurora Borealis on the edge of Santa Claus Village. Your igloo is equipped with an Aurora Alarm, which notified you immediately, when the phenomenon is appearing on the sky. (This alarm can be turned off for the night, if you wish to have an undisturbed night.)

Walk over to Santa Claus Village (app. 800 meters distance) and spend a day in this magical place. Here you can meet Santa Claus in his office, feel the Christmas spirit all year long and cross the Arctic Circle, which marks the southernmost latitude where the sun can stay continuously below or above the horizon for 24 hours – these phenomena are known as the Midnight Sunin the summer and the Polar Night in the winter.

Beside this, the village is filled with opportunities for winter activities, restaurants and shops of many kinds.
