SANTA CLAUS SAFARI 1.12.-6.1., Rovaniemi
An arctic family day of snow fun activities and reindeer sleigh riding completed with meeting Santa Our family favourite safari combines nature, culture, and the warm spirit of Christmas. The day starts with a visit to a reindeer farm filled with Lappish culture. You’ll get to take a reindeer ride and attend a special ceremony of crossing the Arctic Circle. A toboggan slide is waiting for the whole family, and as a speciality, children also get to try mini-snowmobiles. In the afternoon, the trip continues by car to the Santa Claus Village – an ideal spot for a little Christmas shopping. You will also have an opportunity to send postcards from Santa’s post office.
