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!
