Overview

Start your day with a pickup by your guide at your designated location. We'll begin with a scenic drive to Ranua, where you'll spend two hours exploring the renowned Ranua Zoo, home to an array of Arctic wildlife.

After lunch at the zoo, we'll head back to Rovaniemi for a guided tour of the magical Santa Claus Village. Here, you'll cross the Arctic Circle, receive the “Crossing the Arctic Circle” certificate, and meet Santa Claus himself.

In the late afternoon, we'll drive further north to a local village and arrive at a cosy Christmas Cabin, where you'll prepare and heat a traditional Finnish sauna, over 100 years old. Enjoy an hour of relaxation in this authentic sauna experience.

To complete your day, savour a delicious salmon soup Lappish dinner at a traditional Finnish hut, known as a “Kota.“. During our drive back to Rovaniemi,, we have a chance to see the Northern Lights, but please note that this is a natural phenomenon and cannot be guaranteed.
