Itinerary

Your Festive Lights break begins with a departure from your chosen UK airport flying into Enontekio Airport in Northern Finland. From here, your 1 hour coach transfer will take you to your accommodation across the border in Swedish Karesuando. You will be staying at the comfortable Davvi Arctic star on a full board basis. The 4 night break allows guests plenty of free time to explore the area and also to cross into Finnish Karesuando via the road bridge. This dark sky area offers the perfect setting for viewing the northern lights, the stars and the milky way if the atmospheric conditions are favourable.
Due to the extended nature of the excursions your itinerary will be given to you upon arrival. There may be one day when you undertake two of the activities and your itinerary will be planned to accommodate the weather conditions. During your welcome meeting, which will be held on arrival at your accommodation, your guide will give you all the information you need to get the best from your Lapland break and will also offer a list of optional excursions you can add to tailor-make your perfect stay. You can add optional excursions on to your trip at any time during your stay, however these will be subject to availability

Your itinerary will include:
A Northern Lights Snowmobile Safari
This 2 hour evening excursion sees you heading out into the snowy wilderness to a vantage point in the hope of spotting some northern lights activity (the appearance of northern lights is based on the correct atmospheric conditions and solar activity which cannot be guaranteed). Two adults share a snowmobile taking turns to drive. The trip includes a short break and a hot drink.

A Call of the Wild Husky Safari
This one hour fast paced excursion provides an unforgettable journey into the wilderness on a sled pulled by your own team of huskies. Two adults share the sled and take a turn to steer the dogs. The trip includes a short break and a hot drink.

Reindeer Camp
A 2 hour excursion where you can learn about herding and lassoing reindeer from authentic reindeer farmers. You will then climb into your own sleigh and venture not the snowy countryside for a reindeer safari. The trip includes a short break and a hot drink.

This break is also available as a 3 night option departing from Birmingham, Bristol, Gatwick, Glasgow, Humberside, Manchester.    

Please note: For operational reasons, itineraries may vary

Arctic Ice Fishing and Snowmobile

Travelling by snowmobile, you arrive at a frozen lake where you can try your hand at traditional ice fishing - you just drill a hole in the ice and lower your baited hook into the icy waters below. Please note that this excursion is only available with stays at the Davvi Arctic Lodge or Arctic Star hotel. *All Snowmobile activities carry a €980 damage deposit which is payable locally. A valid driving license must be shown upon arrival.
£100 per adult

Arctic Northern Lights Husky Safari

Take a magical evening safari on a sledge pulled by a team of dogs. You will travel across frozen lakes and through silent forests and hopefully you will glimpse the beautiful Northern Lights evolving overhead (of course, sightings cannot be guaranteed).
£120 per adult

Igloo Interlude

Not many people can say they have spent the night in an igloo, in the heart of the Arctic wilderness. But that is the extraordinary experience you can enjoy (or brave!) during your Arctic Adventurebreak. Inside, the igloo is surprisingly warm and cosy. The ice bed has a snow surround, covered with warm reindeer hides. We will provide you with an Arctic sleeping bag. Candlelight lends the whole experience a romantic and special atmosphere. And don’t worry, there is the back-up of a warm room, just in case you feel the chill!
