Exclusive Offer!
 
In northernmost Finland, bordering Sweden, Norway, Russia and the Baltic Sea, you'll find a sparsely populated winter wonderland called Lapland. Well known for it's most famous inhabitant (and his reindeer) this region is a vast sub-arctic wilderness, boasting a "full house" of natural phenomena including the Midnight Sun AND the Northern Lights. 

These effects in the sky, combined with a blanket of white on the ground and a stillness that hangs in the crisp, clean air makes for a surreal Christmas experience that's almost impossible to forget; and 2022 could be your chance to take it all in with our exclusive offer.

Glimpse shy forest animals and look out for traces of Santa himself – fresh sled tracks and perhaps a present that may have fallen from his sleigh - as the coach heads along the winding trail.

Help Santa’s elves feed forest birds and decorate Christmas trees before lunch and a hot beverage at a quaint hut. After lunch, Santa’s reindeers arrive to take you on a test drive. If you manage this Lappish mode of transportation, you will be issued with your very own International Reindeer Driver’s Licence!
