Day 5 Rovaniemi

Snowmobile Safari & Visit of Santa Claus Village
Today you enjoy a fantastic group tour during which you visit famous Lapland sights and try an exciting northern family activity.

This day starts with a brief introduction to snowmobiling after which you start driving to the wilderness. In the middle of the ride, you are invited to warm up near an open fire and enjoy grill sausages with warm drinks. Snowmobile safari with a stop takes about 3-4 hours.

*Note: In order to drive a snowmobile please make sure to have your driver licence with you. Children and adults without driving license can also join the safari sitting on a sledge. Tour is recommended from 4 years old.

Due to unsuitable weather conditions (e.g. there is no snow or it is raining), a snowmobile ride will be replaced with a visit to the Arktikum Museum.

After the safari, you continue your trip to the magical Santa Claus Village. Step into a fairy-tale and explore the wonders of the Snowman World with your loved ones. Moreover, don't miss a chance to make your childhood dream come true and send a postcard with a special Arctic Circle stamp from Santa Claus's main post office! You can also buy some traditional Finnish souvenirs and attend a real ice bar.

*Note: Snowman World is open from early of December to late March.

After the tour, you are transferred back to the hotel.
