Day 1
After landing at Ivalo Airport, you will be met by Santa’s helpers who will guide you to your coach for your transfer to your hotel. It is likely that one or more of the elves will put in an appearance, these elves are masters of mischief and mayhem and their antics will keep you laughing throughout your stay! 
Your transfer to your accommodation takes approximately 25 minutes and some of Santa’s helpers may join you on the coach to keep you entertained with some festive songs.
Upon arrival at your accommodation, you will be checked in and will collect your thermal suits then for the remainder of the afternoon you can play in the snow or perhaps try some tobogganing. A Wilderness Dinner in a kota restaurant will be followed by a reindeer sleigh ride and Sami stories with Elves around a camp fire. 

Day 2

Today’s the day, you will be visiting Santa in his hideaway home.  A host of Arctic activities including mini-snowmobiles, snow-hockey, tobogganing, tandem skiing and kick sledding will keep you entertained all day long. You can even visit Santa's Workshop with interactive activities.  An extended husky sleigh ride is included too - mush your way through the snowy forests, and who knows you might even spot the cheeky Aurora Elf. Lunch is also included on activity day, to allow you some time to warm up and ‘recharge your batteries’ in anticipation of the afternoon’s adventures.   You will then be taken on a reindeer drawn sleigh to Santa's hideaway cabin for your private meeting with Santa

Day 3
It’s almost time to head to the airport for your journey home but before you do it’s time for some last minute fun with a snowmobile ride for a scenic tour of the area before returning to your hotel to collect your belongings and say your goodbyes.
