The adventure

Midnight sun, reindeer, huskies, and a touch of Santa’s magic — Lapland in summer is straight out of a fairytale. Cross into the Arctic Circle, where the sun never sets, and explore Santa’s Village, complete with a post office that sends letters straight from the North Pole. Visit a family-run reindeer farm that’s been herding for generations, hear their incredible stories, then head to a husky kennel to meet and play with the energetic pups. This seven-day adventure is packed with charm, wildlife, and endless northern wonder.
