Santa Claus Village Guided Tour & Arctic Animals Adventure
Description
What would you do if you wanted to experience an ultimate winter adventure? Well, of course, you would visit Santa's village and try husky and reindeer sleigh rides! Tour starts with a hotel pickup and a ride to Santa Claus Village. In the village, you can visit the Elves’ Post Office and send greetings to a friend using the official Arctic Circle stamp. After the visit to Posti, we will take you for a ceremonial Arctic Circle crossing. This is considered to be a special place, where there's no stress and no bad vibes, so the legends say that one who crosses the Arctic Circle will have a lifetime of joy. We assume you have some things to say to Santa Claus, so we're going to take you to Santa's office to meet the man in red himself! There will be plenty of time to check out other facilities, grab a coffee and to get a present from a gift shop before we head on to our next stop - a 0.5km reindeer sleigh ride and 2km husky safari...!

Riding a reindeer sleigh in the middle of Arctic circle is an extraordinary experience, and we are thrilled to have you with us during this adventure.
After a 300m walk, the safari continues to the Huskey Park where you will have a chance to meet the dogs and see them playing in a snowy field. After a safety briefing, we will endeavor on our 2km long sleigh ride. Huskies love sleighs, and they love to run, so they will be happy to take you on a snowy ride through icy Lappish landscapes.If you want to experience the ultimate winter magic, then this Santa and Animal safari tour is just for you!

Beautiful experience, Mattia was very kind and very good at explaining everything, very helpful and professional. Advice for anyone unfamiliar with the area, so you can be guided by someone competent. The husky safari is also beautiful, an experience to repeat.
Exciting to arrive in the presence of Santa Claus With elves welcoming you Santa Claus greeting you in your all magic tongue I did not like the very old souvenir and dining area with shops with Chinese products
We had a wonderful time with Brandan as our guide! The experience combines some of the top attractions including reindeer and husky’s. Brandan was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic to answer our questions, honest when he (rarely) needed to find out an answer, very organized and communicative about logistics. The tour was great, but our guide really christened it. Highly recommend!
That's really nice to watch, but all the things are a bit expensive for what they offer. The Santa House had more than a hour of queue in order to see Santa, but that's what it is. It's is really fun to cross the Artic Circle.
Wonderful tour guide and the day was way more fun than we expected. The dogs were ADORABLE. It would have been nice to mention we had a 1 hour break during the tour to shop / eat - which was lovely.
The guide was helpful and gave us an overview of the the areas. The overall experience was wonderful. We especially enjoyed the Husky safari and the informative conversion about Huskies.
I went with 2 kids that still believe in Santa and they were over the moon. To me it was all a bit cheesy, and has a feeling of amusement park, but seeing them so excited was more than enough to make it worth it. They particularly liked the snowmobile, which is not included, but you can go during the free time. Our guide knew what he was doing, so he made sure we went first to the places that get busiest and we managed to avoid all the queues. I can imagine that if he hadn't done that we'd have to wait 30/40 min in each place and the trip would have been a disaster, so really happy with him.
Tour guides were excellent. We all thoroughly enjoy our adventure. Highly recommend this company. Highlight of our trip.
We were picked up by the lovely Alex and Pedro, we were guided all day and were able to skip long ques too. It was a fantastic day and would highly recomend them.
Alex was a great guide and the visit was very well organised and very enjoyable, we had a great time without queuing.
