Santa’s Sleighbell Spectacular

This Santa’s Sleighbell Spectacular is a well-organised two-night Escorted Tour to the heart of Lapland, Finland. Designed for families who want a straightforward and magical festive break, this itinerary packs the most iconic Arctic activities into a manageable and exciting short trip. From the moment you fly out of Dublin, our team of elves and travel advisors ensure that everything runs smoothly so you can focus on making memories with your children. This comprehensive Visit Santa trip includes everything you need for a comfortable stay in the snow, from high-quality thermal clothing to full board meals on your main activity day.

Your journey begins in Rovaniemi, where you will stay at the Ounasvaara Chalets. These semi-detached cabins provide a traditional and warm base for your adventure, complete with your own private sauna to thaw out after a day in the snow. The location is ideal, situated between the Ounasvaara Hill and the Kemijoki river, offering a peaceful setting that is still only a short drive from the city centre. During your stay, you will experience the thrill of snowmobile safaris through the quiet pine forests and enjoy a speedy ride at a husky farm. We also include a visit to a reindeer farm, where you can learn about these magnificent animals and even earn your own reindeer driving licence.

The true highlight of this Visit Santa trip is the visit to Joulukka, a secret forest location where the magic of Christmas is everywhere. Children can attend the Elf School to learn the secrets of being one of Santa’s helpers and try their hand at decorating gingerbread. The trip culminates in a private meeting with Santa Claus himself in his secret command centre. It is a heartwarming experience where each family gets dedicated time to speak with Santa and children receive a special token gift. With festive dinners, tobogganing, and a visit to the official Santa Claus Village included, this tour offers exceptional value and a festive atmosphere that travellers of all ages will appreciate. Flights, transfers, baggage, and thermal gear are all taken care of, making this a stress-free way to experience the wonder of the Arctic Circle.
