Rovaniemi: Santa Claus Village + Husky & Reindeer Sled Ride


About This Experience
Pack three of Rovaniemi's signature experiences into one smooth half-day, with hotel pickup and drop-off included. You'll visit Santa Claus at his official residence in Santa Claus Village on the Arctic Circle, then add a husky sled ride and a reindeer sleigh ride.
After pickup, head straight to Santa Claus Village for a guided visit — meet Santa in his main office, take photos, send postcards from the Main Post Office with the Arctic Circle postmark, and enjoy free time for souvenirs.
Then continue to a local husky farm for a sled ride and a look inside the kennel, followed by a gentle reindeer sleigh ride. It's an efficient, family-friendly way to combine Santa, huskies, and reindeer in a single trip.

What Travelers Say
Rated 4.5/5 by 66 verified GetYourGuide travelers.
We had a great day, lots to do, too much to do in the 4 hrs we were allocated, especially if you queue up to meet the main man himself 🎅

Our guide was great and even told my kiddos stories about why the reindeer dont fly during the ride and how the elves shrink at night
