Itinerary
Day 1 – Helsinki, Finland
Hei Helsinki! Finland’s vibrant capital, where history converges with architectural style and combines with a laid-back vibe across beautiful islands and pristine public parks, welcomes you. With no scheduled activities throughout the afternoon, spend the day as you wish, exploring the city independently. This evening, gather with new friends for a welcome dinner in the city center, taking a 20-minute stroll to a local restaurant. Hyvää ruokahalua! (bon appetit!)
Day 2 – Helsinki
Join a local expert for an engaging city tour. If Finland’s heart beats in Helsinki, then Helsinki’s core is the Empire-style Senate Square, home of the iconic Helsinki Cathedral. Drive through the charming neighborhoods of the city and visit the Church in the Rock, a Lutheran place of worship excavated directly into solid rock. Continue to see the steel monument dedicated to the world-famous composer Jean Sibelius. This afternoon, take time to explore more of Helsinki independently.
Day 3 – Helsinki – Kakslauttanen – Northern Lights Search
Escape to northernmost Finland’s winter wonderland on board a flight to Ivalo and magical Lapland. Like a storybook come to life, Lapland’s culture is steeped in myth and legend. Relish a sled ride with reindeer and unspoiled views of the northern lights. At the remote Kakslauttanen Resort, spend two nights in your very own Finnish log cabin indulging in your own personal Finnish sauna. Take the motor coach north toward Inari on a chase for the northern lights. Stops along the pursuit allow you the chance to witness nature’s dazzling, electric light show.

Hit the snow and mush yourself to breakfast aboard your own authentic Finnish sleigh. After a leisurely breakfast, meet Santa’s elves, who will take you to meet Santa Claus in his own home. Learn about Santa’s origins during a warm and friendly conversation at his house. After dinner, under the Arctic moonlight, a reindeer farmer introduces you to some friendly Lappish reindeer. Set out on an exhilarating reindeer safari through remote Kakslauttanen. Then step inside a Lappish teepee, or kota, and sip warm berry juice (a Finnish tradition) around an open fire while gaining insight into the importance of reindeer herding to the Sámi indigenous culture. The search for the elusive northern lights continues in the surround of northern Finland’s wilderness.
Day 5 – Kakslauttanen – Northern Lights Search
Breathe in the fresh Arctic air this morning and step into the role as leader of your own dog sled team.

You’ll also be introduced to the equipment you’ll need to experience this incredible Arctic adventure at its best.

You may even see the northern lights dancing overhead from the comfort of your own bed.
