5 Day Itinerary

Your Christmas Day experiences in Santa's kingdom are just part of your short break. There is so much more included. From a Husky Experience to a Search for Santa, from a memorable Christmas Dinner to a Snowmobile Adventure, your four-night break is filled with magical experiences. Here is a typical itinerary.

December 23

Your flight departs around 10am and at Enontekio you are guided to your coach. The journey to Hetta takes around ten to 15 minutes. Watch out for Santa's reindeer in the woods. Your all-i-one thermal suits and boots will be organised by your representative. After checking in at your chosen accommodation, your Transun rep hosts a welcome meeting and will answer any further questions during dinner. Tonight, you can join one of our optional activities, such as a snowmobile night safari, hoping to encounter the Northern Lights. See 'Optional Excursions' for full details.

Christmas Eve

After breakfast, you head out on your first safari - a thrilling 40-minute Husky Experience followed by a warming lunch. Throughout the day you can enjoy snow activities outside, with toboggans available free. Or there's plenty of family fun to be had making snowmen or enjoying a good old fashioned snowball fight!

Alternatively, you might opt to join the inside craft activities, or maybe try one of our exciting optional excursions, such as trying your hand at Reindeer Herding. You return to your hotel for dinner.

Christmas Day

After breakfast, you will be joining your second included Santa Safari - the 40 minute snowmobile adventure. A warming lunch will then follow. A supervised kids' snowmobile ride will be available (see 'Optional Excursions' for details) or, if you're lucky, a chance to get up close to a friendly reindeer.

Then, the highlight of the day when you board a reindeer sleigh and set off In Search of Father Christmas. During a private family meeting in his cabin, each child has the chance to talk with Santa now that he is back from his annual journey around the world. Each child receives a small gift. After a special Christmas Dinner, relax, or join one of our optional night safaris.

Boxing Day

After breakfast, you can join one of our optional excursions such as befriending some husky puppies or driving our own reindeer sleigh on our Reindeer Camp. Alternatively, you may want to spend time playing in the snow with your family. After lunch, the afternoon is free to relax, enjoy some more family fun in the snow, or perhaps join one of our optional excursions. This evening, enjoy a walk to the local church. After a short welcome by the vicar and carols. After dinner, relax, or join one of our optional night safaris.

December 27

Check out after breakfast at 0900hrs, after which the morning is free for one final play in the snow or to join one of our optional excursions. After lunch, you depart for Enontekio and your flight home.

Please note: All constituent activities are included. However, exact itineraries vary depending upon your choice of resort.

Optional Excursions

As well as your included activities, there's a whole programme of optional excursions for you to choose from. These are available for you to add when you book - whether online or over the phone.

Further Information

All excursions include expert guides, equipment and all necessary instruction. On our Northern Lights night safaris, we search for the best viewpoints rather than aim to cover a specific distance.

On all safaris, unless a supplement is paid to secure a single rider, you may be required to share with another person from the group. All prices are per person. All distances and durations are approximate and subject to weather conditions and route on the day.

All excursions are subject of minimum numbers and local conditions and are non-refundable. However, you will be automatically refunded the full price paid for your excursion if it doesn’t go ahead due to operational reasons.

*All Snowmobile activities carry a €550 damage deposit which is payable locally. A valid driving license must be shown upon arrival.** The ability to drive and control a husky team on longer safaris is determined by physical attributes. Normally, anybody over the age of 18 should be able to handle a dog team comfortably.

AVAILABILITY
All the dates above are available as of our last update. However the prices and tours are subject to availability and availability cannot be guaranteed for late bookings made between Oct-Dec where availability will be extremely limited with most tours likely to be full. Alternative tours will be offered should this tour be fully booked.
