About This Experience

This guided half-day brings together the highlights of a Santa Claus Village trip — crossing the Arctic Circle, meeting Santa, and short rides with reindeer and huskies. Cross the Arctic Circle line into the land of the midnight sun and midwinter aurora, and start with a warm welcome from Santa's elves.

Meet Santa Claus himself and receive his best wishes, then head out for an authentic reindeer ride (around 400 m) with Santa's own reindeer, followed by a fast and fun husky sleigh ride (around 500 m) through the Arctic forest.

The program usually finishes around midday, and your guide can drop you off either back in the Village or at your Rovaniemi hotel — a great way to spend a first morning while you get your bearings.

It was our first day so really convenient as we were just getting our bearings. The guid was lovely and super helpful. We probably could have done this all ourselves and it would have been much cheaper as we still had to wait in line for everything.
