Activity description
Discover the joy of winter in Rovaniemi, Finland! Meet Santa and his reindeer, and enjoy the thrill of snowmobiling through a winter wonderland!
You'll begin this fun-filled and family-friendly tour by visiting Santa's Official Post Office, and meeting Father Christmas himself, along with his trusted helpers! After some souvenir shopping, you'll enjoy a delicious lunch. Before you know it, it will be time to head out via snowmobile to a local reindeer farm!
Beginners are welcome! Your guide will go through all of the basics of snowmobiling as well as give a safety briefing before setting off. Once you've met the reindeer, you'll enjoy a short reindeer-led sleigh ride, followed by a special “Crossing the Arctic Circle” ceremony, after which you'll return to the city by snowmobile with memories that will last a lifetime!
All participants will receive a commemorative “Crossing the Arctic Circle” certificate upon completion of the day!
