This is a great all inclusive option with the absolute highlight being accommodated in an Aurora Cabin with a 180° wrap around glass roof – a brilliant way to view the Lights dancing across the night skies. It’s 24/7 of uninterrupted views of night skies scattered with stars. And, to add to an already perfect combination, you’ll receive Aurora Alerts so you no staying up all night watching for the Lights. Your days will be filled with activities Lapland has to offer – it’s huskies, reindeers, snowmobiling, ice carting and in your free time give cross-country skiing, ice skating, snowshoeing and more. Still have energy to expend? Then off to the toboggan slope with you! After all that activity, just sit back in a kota (Lappish teepee) and drink in the relaxing atmosphere created by a cosy fire.
Arrival Ivalo airport where you will be met and transferred to the resort for your stay in an Aurora Cabin.
Will tonight be your first sighting of the Lights? Either way, you’ll be comfortable lying back in your bed and enjoying the view of the night sky over Lapland.
When you think Lapland you think reindeer. Today you’ll have the opportunity to meet these iconic animals and take all the Instagram pictures you like. Then it’s off an a sleigh ride pulled by one of the reindeer. It’s a sedate ride and a change to get the feel of being Santa. Except of course his reindeers are on super charge having to fly all around the world in a short few hours.
This one’s for those who fantasise about the challenge of off-road driving. Your winter go-cart’s not quite as slick looking as a Ferrari but still pretty speedy on the ice track. This is serious stuff (or not) – laps are timed but the good news is that you have a guide on hand who can give some guidance if you need it. Think you could be first pass the waving chequered flag? Give it a go.
In between all these activities, take the time to relax in the Lappish Kota. It’s a cosy and warm place with a therapeutic atmosphere
Definitely the most exhilarating experience – snowmobiling! Following your guide, set off on your snowmobile through forests and across snow covered landscapes. Keep your camera handy for some more Instagram shots. All drivers without exception must have a valid full drivers license and be aged 18 or more.
Afternoon at leisure. How about trying cross country skiing? Once you get the hang of it it’s really fun.
This evening you have a Northern Lights tour included – just choose which one you would like to join. Will it be by snowshoe, by sleigh behind a snowmobile or by car? The choice is yours!
Quite a different experience today from the sedate reindeer ride – it’s the huskies. You’ll be picked up from the resort by your husky musher who will take you to their family owned husky farm where after instruction on driving the huskies, you try your skills at mushing. One person will drive whilst the other is seated in the sleigh. At the half way point, you’ll stop for a hot drink, swop over driving (or not) and continue on. Just remember to fit your beanie on snugly – those Alaskan huskies are definitely on super charge!
Changes are that even if you’re from the Southern Hemisphere, you’ve tried ice skating at least once in your life so you’ll not need too much practise skating on an outdoor rink. Never tried? Give it a go …
After all this activity, you need to unwind in a sauna. This wood-heated is small – just for 4 persons and situation beside the river so it straight from the sauna into the ice hole to cool off. A very Finnish experience. (This is not included but available at supplement. Can you reserved on site.)
Check out and transfer to Ivalo airport for your departure flight.
