When, what to my wondering eyes should appear,
but a miniature sleigh, and eight tiny rein-deer,
with a little old driver, so lively and quick,
I knew in a moment it must be St. Nick.
More rapid than eagles his coursers they came,
And he whistled, and shouted, and call’d them by name:
“Now, Dasher! Now, Dancer! Now, Prancer, and Vixen!
“On, Comet! On, Cupid! On, Dunder and Blixem!
“Clement C. Moore”

Without doubt reindeers are Santa’s one of the biggest helpers. Without them he can not travel anywhere. Today we will take you to a local reindeer farm where reindeers live, and our ride will take place.
Warm drinks with buns are served indoors of the farm, while you listen to interesting stories about reindeer herding and wilderness life in Lapland.

Northern Lights Hunting at evening.

The magic of a nocturnal forest can only be highlighted by a blaze of Auroras.
We will take you out at the prime time of Auroras, as they are said to be visible most likely at the hours around 21:00 and midnight.

For sure you have been wondering what the Auroras are and how come they are visible only in the north. Tonight you will get the answers to all these questions!

At our lake-side sighting location you have snowshoes available, in case you wish to walk further out on the frozen lake and have a 360 degrees vision on the sky.

A short transfer takes you to the husky farm, where the enthusiastic arctic sled dogs greet you with barking and jumping – as if they were saying, come on, let’s go.
Huskies are passionate about running and that is why they are eager to take off with you in their sledge. But first things first: instructions on safety and driving. You and a friend are sharing a team of huskies and can take turns in mushing (driving) and being a passenger.
The route takes you through an enchanted winter landscape. There will be stops when you can change places as musher and passenger. You will also have some photogenic moments in the stunning nature and with the beautiful dogs. Once they have ran off some energy, they are calmer and let you enjoy the silent drive.
Back at the farm we will gather around the campfire to hear the mushers tell about life with huskies. You will of course also have time to cuddle and pat your newfound friends before it is time to leave the husky farm.

Family Snowmobile Safari
Experience a thrilling, unforgettable trip riding a snowmobile. This is probably the best way to enjoy the beautiful nature of Lapland that surrounds Rovaniemi with your family.
This tour specially tailored for all members of family while parents enjoy ride with snowmobile, younger members or the one without driving license sit back on snowmobile driven sledge to enjoy fun ride in frozen forest and lakes.
We start with a snowmobile safari with adults on the snowmobile and children traveling safely in sledges. After the traditional snowmobile safari, it is time for children’s snowmobile driving. The smallest family members (2-4 yrs.) get to drive mini skidoos on a safe track under supervision. The midi skidoos (5-14 yrs.) also have a dedicated track and are just what young girls and boys dream of – a replica of an adult snowmobile, but lighter.
There is time to relax by a camp fire also, have a cup of berry juice and fry a sausage as a snack.

The Arctic Circle is a circle of latitude that runs 66°33′45.9″ north of the Equator. It marks the southernmost latitude where the sun can stay continuously below or above the horizon for 24 hours – these phenomena are known as the Midnight Sun in the summer and the Polar Night (“Kaamos”) in the winter.
In Rovaniemi, the Arctic Circle runs through Santa Claus Village, located eight kilometres north of the city centre, where it is clearly marked. Santa Claus Village in Lapland is a popular place to cross the Arctic Circle: here the line is marked, and you can even get a certificate confirming the feat.
