Day 1

DAY 1     ISTANBUL – ROVANIEMI – SANTA CLAUS VILLAGE – NORTHERN LIGHTS
We depart from Istanbul to Rovaniemi with Turkish Airlines scheduled flight (TK1749) at 09:45 in the morning. We arrive in Rovaniemi at 13:25. With our bus waiting for us at the airport, we first head to Santa Claus Village.

Santa Claus Village Visit
Santa Claus Village is known as the home of Santa Claus and is especially popular in winter. It is famous for its traditional Lappish houses and snow-covered landscapes. Visitors can visit Santa Claus's house and convey their special wishes. You can also drop cards in the red mailboxes at Santa Claus's post office for yourself or your loved ones, to arrive by the next Christmas. The village is full of souvenir shops, local handicrafts, and Christmas-themed cafes. A wonderful place to experience the magical atmosphere of Christmas for people of all ages, Santa Claus Village is the point where the Arctic Circle passes, and the arctic line is indicated by a blue light line. After our visit to Santa Claus Village, we depart for our hotel in downtown Rovaniemi. Before checking into the hotel, we stop by the safari office to pick up our thermal clothing to be used in the safaris and tours we will take. 

Ice Hotel Visit, Dinner, and Northern Lights
After hotel check-in and a short rest, we set off for the Ice Hotel. The Ice Hotel is a popular attraction open to visitors daily between December 15 and April 1. It is one of the largest snow hotels located on the Arctic Circle. The Snow Hotel is built differently every year and decorated with ice and snow art. Visitors can tour the rooms made of ice, ice sculptures, the Ice Bar, and the Ice Restaurant. Following the visit, we have our dinner featuring a main course of wood-fired salmon at Kota, the traditional Lappish house belonging to the Ice Hotel. If we are lucky and the sky is clear, we will have the chance to see the Northern Lights. We return to our hotel late in the evening. 


DAY 2     ROVANIEMI – HUSKY AND REINDEER SAFARIS
After breakfast, we depart for the husky and reindeer farm.

Husky Safari
We arrive at the husky farm and visit the huskies, some of the cutest dogs in the world. Today we will learn how to steer our own husky team and experience an unforgettable sled ride with these cute friends. Afterwards, we relax around the fire in a traditional Lappish hut (kota) accompanied by hot drinks. After the husky tour, we move on to the reindeer farm.

Reindeer Safari
After getting information about reindeer from our local guide, we take a tour in the snow-covered forest on sleighs pulled by reindeer. Following this unforgettable experience, we spend pleasant moments around the burning fire and receive a “Reindeer Driving Certificate” at the end of the tour. Afterwards, we have our lunch consisting of reindeer roast, a traditional Lapland dish. Then we return to our hotel by bus. 
Free time for the evening.

After our morning breakfast, we depart for the Swedish town of Kalix, located 170 km away from Rovaniemi, for the icebreaker activity. During our journey, we cross the Sweden-Finland border and arrive at the port of Axelsvik. During our 3-hour journey with the world's largest tourist icebreaker ship, you will witness how the ice on the frozen sea is broken. Halfway through our journey, in the middle of the ice-covered sea, we wear specially designed thermal suits to survive in cold seas and keep us afloat, and we swim in the pool created by the ship breaking the ice. After our tour, which is included by National Geographic among the activities to try before you die, we go to Kukkolaforsen, a Swedish fishing village, for lunch. After our lunch, return to Rovaniemi and free time for dinner.
