Enchanted Escape Visit Santa Two-Night Trip

This two-night Santa trip to Lapland is a well-organised escorted tour designed for families seeking a straightforward and festive winter experience. Departing from Dublin, this trip takes you directly to the heart of the Arctic Circle in Kittila, Finland. At Travel Escapes, our staff have visited these locations personally and provide practical booking advice to ensure your family is prepared for the sub-zero temperatures and the snowy environment. This is a factual, activity-led holiday that includes everything from flights and baggage to thermal gear and meals, making it a reliable choice for value-conscious travellers.

You will stay at the Akashotelli, located near the Yllas fell. The accommodation is practical and traditionally Finnish, with apartments featuring their own private saunas—a great way to warm up after a day in the snow. These units are well-equipped with small kitchens and drying cupboards for your winter gear. The itinerary is designed to be busy but manageable, ensuring you get to experience the best of Lapland in a short timeframe.

The core of the Visit Santa trip is the full day of Arctic adventures. Families will head deep into the snow-covered forests to participate in traditional activities like husky sledding and reindeer rides. Adults and children alike can enjoy the thrill of a snowmobile safari and the simple fun of tobogganing down the hills. The day includes interactive elements like Elf School and gingerbread decorating, which keep younger travellers engaged before the main event: a private meeting with Santa Claus himself.

Logistics are handled by professional guides and local helpers, ensuring a safe and smooth experience for all ages. With thermal suits and boots provided upon arrival, you don’t need to invest in expensive Arctic clothing before you go. This trip offers an honest, festive atmosphere without unnecessary extras, focusing on the core experiences that make Lapland special. It is a great value way to see the real North Pole and create lasting family bonds in a unique natural setting.
