Remembered where we traveled from and interacted with all of us. We cooked sausages and marshmallows on the fire he made. We drank a special Christmas juice he made for us. Told us numerous stories about the northern lights, reindeer, folklore, and their culture. This was a very special adventure for our family to visit Santa Claus Holiday Village.

★★★★★★★★★★4.3 · 97 reviews · 3 hours · from $234

Ride a reindeer sleigh through Lapland’s snowy forest, warm up by a bonfire, and watch for northern lights near Rovaniemi.

“This was my favourite activity we did during our stay- admittedly we were lucky enough to see the northern lights mid sleigh ride! Our Guide (I think Ant Sophie/ sorry if wrong) was excellent and made us feel so at ease and was so welcoming with information about the reindeers. The reindeers get very close but they were calm. - wrap up warm it gets chilly towards the end! Apukka was the best operator we used also! Top marks all round!”

Review of Rovaniemi’s night snowshoe tour, with Arctic forests, campfire snacks, small groups, guide-led outings, and Northern Lights chances.

“Belle activité. Ciel magnifique. Guide génial. Bémol, l'activité raquette est un peu courte et assez simple : balade dans une forêt à peine 1h. Le temps de trajet vers le lieu d'activité est de 35'. Le temps de trajet est plus long que l'activité. Le réconfort près du feu est intéressant mais se fait à la fin dans un yourth sur le parking...”
