Lapland Santa Experience Day Trip Join us for one amazing day, full of laughter and fun, a few tears of joy... and some precious family memories to cherish forever.
Join Newmarket Holidays for the most
exciting, most magical and without doubt most unforgettable day ever. Fly direct from your local airport to a still, white wilderness high above the Arctic Circle, where amongst the snowy forests, in a land inhabited by the ancient Sami people, with their husky dogs and reindeer, as children of all ages know, there also lives, hidden from view, a Very Special Person.
Your day begins with your exclusively chartered direct flight north to Newmarket’s dedicated Lapland airport in Pajala, 80 kilometres beyond the Arctic Circle and gateway to the heart of Swedish Lapland. Your flight will be the only ‘Santa’ flight to Pajala on this day, and on arrival you’ll be met by your Lappish hosts .
A Private Meeting with A Very Special Person The highlight of the day will come as you venture through the forest on a ‘secret’ path lit with twinkling lights to the hut where Santa himself is waiting to greet each child personally. It’s the most magical moment of all, as wide-eyed children’s dreams come true, and a smile – or a tear – is guaranteed on every adult’s face.
Exclusive to Newmarket Holidays Your specially chartered flight will be the only ‘Santa’ flight to Pajala on this day, and numbers are strictly limited so that you have time to appreciate every magical moment. Santa’s Grotto
