Included excursions
With a full spread of excursions included in the price, there’s plenty to keep you occupied across two memorable days. Head out on a snowmobiling, racing through frozen forests in the company of an expert guide, and take the reins on a husky safari as you’re taught how to handle your own team of dogs before setting off on a truly unforgettable adventure. You’ll also visit a reindeer farm, calling in to experience the life of a reindeer herder and learn about their unique culture and traditions. And, in the evenings, the adventures continue as, on one night, you strap on snowshoes to go in search of the Northern Lights at a specially chosen camp spot to watch the aurora’s dancing display accompanied by hot drinks and an open fire.
