visit lapland and bring out the big kid in you!

Not a country in its own right, Lapland is made up of the northern reaches of Finland, Sweden and Norway where, in winter, there are just a few hours of daylight and crisp white snow can reach depths of up to 40 centimetres. It is a fairytale destination where husky dogs race sleighs and reindeer roam among the wintry pines and of course the home of a famous man with a curly white beard.

Our trips to Lapland are magical for adults and children alike and offer the chance to ride in a reindeer sleigh, experience an exhilarating ride on a husky sled and of course the chance to meet Santa Claus himself.  We offer a number of day trips from various regional departure airports including an adults only snowmobile safari with a stop at a magical igloo restaurant for lunch.

If you really want to get into the spirit of things then extend your trip to Lapland and stay on for 2 nights in one of 3 carefully selected hotels in Rovaniemi and really discover the natural beauty of this enchanting winter wonderland.

Our Dec 2009 trips are on sale on October 30, 2008 and with day trips starting from £329 per adult and £289 per child and 2 night packages starting from £689 per adult and £599 per child, book early and get working on your Christmas list.
