This kind of Christmas comes but once in a lifetime. Whisk your family away to magical Lapland where you’ll meet Santa and his cheeky elves. Make a fairytale come true for your family.

Watch their eyes light up like Christmas trees…

But don’t be surprised when the grown-ups are as excited as the kids. Santa’s Lapland is in the far north of Finland, hidden in the snowy forests of Saariselkä, more than 200km above the Arctic Circle.

No other tour operator goes this far north, which makes it an enchanting place to explore. Your 2 or 3-night adventure - will you go for our Santa’s Magic or Santa’s Aurora experiences? Either way there’ll be reindeer and husky rides, boundless snow, sleighs, and of course… the great search for Santa. Quick, jump in your sleigh. Track the magical glow trail Santa leaves behind. Where’s it going? Will we find Santa’s home?

You’ve dreamt about it, now see it

Snow as far as you can see. Beautiful pine forests. Look up! Keep your eyes peeled while you’re in Santa’s Lapland - perhaps you’ll catch a glimpse of the greatest natural show on earth… the Northern Lights.

The biggest dream of all will definitely come true. Search for the secret log cabin in the forest and hurry inside for your special family time with Santa himself.

Magic at every step

It starts the moment you step on the plane. Watch out for mischievous elves at the airport too. Then it’s pure Christmas fun - reindeer rides in your complimentary cosy thermals. Captivating stories from your local Sami guides. Toboggans, games and buckets of winter activities… the snowy wilderness is your new playground.

  • Me and my partner took our 4 children to Lapland Your reps were fantastic, they could see when we were struggling and they always stepped in, either to entertain or assist with the kids Ho ho Han in particular was exceptional and we wouldn’t of made the flight home without her I felt that the staff took pressure of the parents so that we all could enjoy the experience. Fantastic job.
