Husky Safari (Inari)

Husky Safari (Inari)

A husky safari is an essential Lapland experience, taking you across frozen lakes and through peaceful forest trails. Before setting off, you’ll learn how to handle the sled, then feel the thrill as your enthusiastic huskies pull you into the snow-covered wilderness. Their eager excitement at the start quickly gives way to a magical stillness as they settle into the rhythm of running through the winter landscape. Each sled is shared by two guests, with one person mushing and the other seated in the sleigh, and you’ll swap roles halfway to enjoy both perspectives.
Meet the Reindeer (Inari)

Meet the Reindeer (Inari)

Today you'll meet a local Sami reindeer herder and his reindeer. You'll transfer by minibus to the nearby farm and wander through the trees to find the reindeer roaming in the woodland. Your Sami guide will tell you all about life as a traditional reindeer herder, and share stories of the Sami culture. Before you leave, you'll get the opportunity to get up close with the reindeer, and feed them their favourite snack of lichen! 
Santa Visit (Inari)

Santa Visit (Inari)

Today you will meet Santa! After a short walk to Santa’s secret hideaway, you will have the chance to meet him and enjoy a friendly chat together. Santa will give small presents to everyone. To make the experience even more special, families are encouraged to bring letters written to Santa (confidentially handed to reception at least one day in advance). This allows Santa to read the letters beforehand, adding a personal and magical touch to the moment with the children.
