Tour Program
01 Ankara - Istanbul - Rovaniemi - Tornio
We meet with our valued guests at the departure terminal of Ankara Esenboğa Airport at the time to be announced by our guide. After ticketing, baggage, and passport procedures, we depart on Turkish Airlines to Rovaniemi via Istanbul. Upon our arrival in Rovaniemi, we head by private vehicle to Santa Claus Village. Since 2008, Santa Claus Village has been among the top 10 must-visit places on travelers’ lists, and there you will have the chance to meet Santa Claus, take a photo with him, and send postcards to your loved ones from Santa Claus’s post office. At the same time, during your free time in the wide variety of shops available for shopping, you will have the opportunity to delight your loved ones with special and unique gifts. On the way, we will pick up our thermal clothing (snowsuit, boots, gloves, wool socks). Accommodation is at our hotel in Tornio. After a short rest, we will take part in our Northern Lights Hunt tour. If we are lucky, we may witness this mesmerizing natural phenomenon. Accommodation is at our hotel in Tornio.

In this tour, we experience a Reindeer sleigh ride at the Reindeer farm and receive a “Reindeer Driving Certificate.” Then, around the burning fire inside a traditional Lapland tent, we enjoy pleasant moments with local tea and cookies. At the same time, our guide will provide us with information about reindeer. In the continuation of our tour, we transfer to the Husky farm, spend time with these cute animals of the cold season, learn how to steer the Husky dogs in our own team, and enjoy driving the Husky sleds along a 3 km trail.
