About the Activity

What to Expect

Prepare for an unforgettable full day experience in Rovaniemi with dog and reindeer sledding and Northern Lights in the evening! Begin your magical day in the enchanting Santa Village, where you will have the chance to embark on a delightful short Reindeer ride of 400 metres. Discover the charm of the North as you visit "Santa’s Pets", meeting a variety of endearing creatures such as alpacas, donkeys, a pony, sheep, and goats, all braving the cold weather outdoors. Feel the joy of feeding the reindeer and letting the magic of the moment whisk you away.

Next, brace yourself for a thrilling short Husky Sleigh Ride of 500 metres! Feel the crisp air on your face as these energetic dogs lead you through the stunning snow-covered landscapes. Afterwards, enjoy a visit with the huskies, where their boundless energy and friendly nature will surely warm your heart. As the morning unfolds, take a break to slide down snowy hills or relax by an open fire inside a traditional Sami tent. With the morning adventure wrapping up around midday, you can choose to return to your hotel or continue exploring Santa Village at your leisure.

As evening falls, prepare for awe-inspiring Northern Lights as we meet again to travel to two distinct Aurora spots in Rovaniemi, surrounded by open and dark areas with an Arctic lake and forest. Your guide will share the fascinating science of the auroral phenomenon and offer tips on capturing this natural wonder with your smartphone. As you gaze at the sky, sip on a local berry or fruit tea, and let the beauty of Finnish Lapland create memories to last a lifetime.
