Our day starts with a visit to reindeer and husky farms with guided tours at the farms. Meet the authentic reindeer herder and take photos of the reindeer. Before we continue our journey, we sit down by the fireplace to relax with a cup of coffee and hear stories of the year with the reindeer. At the husky farm visit, you can join the huskies in a special Husky Hugging - an area where you can pet the dogs freely.
We finish the day with a visit to Santa Claus Village and the numerous souvenir shops, Santa’s Post Office and surely, we get to meet the man himself in his office.
Learn how to survive in a wild nature together with the guide on a day trip to the forest. After the car transfer out of the city, we build together an emergency shelter, make fire without matches, find food from nature and prepare a snack of what we find. Try focusing on a target bird with an air rifle and go fishing in clear water bond and prepare your catch on the fire. The day is suitable for the whole family!

Winter sun doesn't have to mean the same destinations year after year. Whether you're dreaming of tropical islands, unforgettable wildlife encounters, bustling cities, or beaches that stretch for miles, there are plenty of destinations that come into their own during winter. If you're already thinking about your next escape, here are five winter sun destinations worth adding to your travel wish list.
When most people think of Thailand, they picture the dry, busy months - the packed beaches, the long queues at temples, the peak-season prices. But, outside of these peak months, Thailand’s green season reveals a softer, more atmospheric side of the country. The landscapes deepen in colour, the pace eases, and familiar places begin to feel more spacious, from temple courtyards and hillside trails to palm-fringed beaches.
Choosing where to stay can completely change the feel of an Algarve holiday. Beyond the region’s larger resorts, there are whitewashed villas overlooking the Atlantic, converted village houses in the countryside, intimate design hotels, and peaceful coastal retreats. From the fishing village of Salema to the quieter landscapes around Vila do Bispo and Lagos, these four stays each offer their own take on southern Portugal, whether you want the freedom of a villa, easy access to the beach, or somewhere small and characterful to come back to after a day exploring.
