Your once in a lifetime experiences

There’s little doubt that your Lapland Santa Day Break will be unforgettable from beginning to end, full of unique, once-ina-lifetime experiences that children and adults alike will treasure forever! Our Lappish hosts will go out of their way to ensure that each wonderful activity you take part in during the day will be equally enjoyable for every member of your family and party, with plenty of unexpected surprises to go with your Arctic adventures. With numbers strictly limited there’ll be time to experience all that the Pajala centre has to offer during your exclusive visit. There will also be plenty of time, though, to catch your breath and to enjoy a warming drink or two between each thrilling experience, and of course opportunities to take photographs of your stay and to visit the souvenir store to ensure that you have plenty of mementoes to treasure from your day.

Full of activity from beginning to end, your Lapland experience is an opportunity to enjoy a day like no other, full of wonder for children of all ages, played out in a truly authentic setting, as the friendly Lappish hosts welcome you to their pristine homeland, and you discover an entirely different snow-white world. Journey back to nature as you take part in a host of wonderful adventures that will provide incredible, life-long memories. Enjoy a ride on a sleigh drawn by reindeer. Drive a snowmobile on prepared tracks through the snow. Experience the thrill of a husky-drawn sledge ‘safari’. And, of course, the highlight of the day – journey on a ‘secret path’ to the isolated grotto that is home to Santa Claus himself! The friendly Lapps go out of their way to preserve the authentic, magical nature of their beautiful corner of the world on this exclusive tour.

A Perfect Family Memory – A Private Meeting with a Very Special Person

Early this morning, you’ll set off on an exclusive direct flight to Newmarket Holidays’ dedicated Lapland airport (your flight will be the only ‘Santa’ flight landing there on this day). After arriving at the gateway to the heart of Swedish Lapland, 50 miles beyond the Arctic Circle, you’ll be welcomed by your friendly Lappish hosts, dressed in traditional Sami costumes. Following a warm introduction, you’ll board a coach for your Arctic adventure and make the short journey to ‘Santa’s grotto’, tucked away in an enchanting forest. Wrapped up against the icy chill in cosy, comfortable thermal garments supplied on arrival, you’ll then venture out into the surrounding winter wonderland to experience the exciting range of once-in-a-lifetime activities on offer. All the activities take place just a short distance from the central log cabin, which houses a charming restaurant where you’ll have lunch. At each activity station, delicious warm drinks will also be available throughout the day. You can take a break and sip on one of these in-between festive snowball fights, traditional reindeer sleigh rides, exhilarating turns on the snowmobile, tobogganing, and educational husky dog interactions. The final highlight of this special trip, once the sun has set, will come as you wander through the forest along a ‘secret’ path, illuminated by lanterns and twinkling lights, and leading to ‘Santa’s grotto’. Here, Santa himself will be waiting to greet each child with their family members personally, and patiently listen as they share their Christmas wishes. It’s this magical moment where children’s dreams come true, and a smile – or a tear – is guaranteed on every adult’s face.

A Magical Reindeer Sleigh Ride

If anything sums up the magic and wonder of your Lapland Day Break, then it’s the journey on a traditional sleigh pulled by some of Santa’s reindeer – though possibly not Rudolf and his friends, since flying sleighs aren’t approved by Lapland Elf and Safety! Sit back beneath a warm blanket and enjoy the moment as you “jingle all the way” through the forest – another highlight of the day!

Husky Dog Experience

Husky Experience

Very much the ‘work-horses’ of the Sami people before the ‘skidoo’ came along, the teams of hardy, sure-footed huskies were vital for man’s survival in the inhospitable Arctic for centuries. Learn all about this breed and the ‘art’ of mushing, and enjoy an exhilarating ride over the frozen ground in a traditional sleigh drawn by willing dogs. Fun in the Snow!

Take time to enjoy the family fun of being in the snow for a day, perhaps helping to build a snowman, throwing a few wellaimed snowballs or enjoying a toboggan ride. Everyone’s a child for the memoryfilled day at Pajala. A Thrilling Snowmobile Ride

Enjoy the thrill of being at the helm of a high-powered snowmobile – on a specially prepared ‘circuit’ marked out in the snow close to the Activity Centre. Holders of full driving licences can take the controls, while for children under 15 there will be the chance to be pulled along in a sleigh. The snowmobile has revolutionised transportation in Lapland, and is a thrilling experience to boot!
