LAPLAND MAGIC

3 Nights Departing December - short break in Hetta

Our Magic short breaks take you deep inside the Arctic Circle to Hetta, in the far north of Finnish Lapland

*** Every family guaranteed their own private meeting with Santa!***

 

 

Your Husky Experience is just part of your Lapland Magic short break with Transun. But there is so much more included. From sledging to snowman making, from a Snowmobile Adventure to a magical search for Santa, your three-night break is filled with wonderful, magical experiences. Here is a typical itinerary.

Day One

Collect your special boarding pass at your check-in in the UK and keep it safe! Your flight departs around 10am and at Enontekio you are guided to your coach. The journey to Hetta takes around 10 to 15 minutes. Watch out for Santa's reindeer in the woods!

Temperatures here can fall to -35C in December and we stop to collect your all-in-one thermal suits and boots, an essential part of your holiday package. Hats, scarves and gloves are also necessary, so remember to pack some for everyone!

After checking in at your chosen accommodation, your Transun rep hosts a welcome meeting, giving you all the information needed to get the most from your break and during a welcome dinner your rep will answer any further questions. Tonight, you can join one of our optional activities, such as a snowmobile night safari, hoping to encounter the Northern Lights.

Day Two

After breakfast, you board the coach to head off on your first included Santa safari, either a 40-minute Husky Experience or a 1.5-hour Snowmobile Adventure, followed by a warming lunch.

Throughout the day you can enjoy snow fun activities outside, with toboggans available free of charge and kick sledges available upon payment of a deposit. Or, if you prefer, there's plenty of family fun to be had making snowmen or enjoying a good old-fashioned snowball fight! Alternatively, you might opt to join the inside craft activities, or maybe try one of our exciting optional excursions, such as trying your hand at Reindeer Herding.

This evening, join us on a walk to the local church. After a short welcome by the vicar and carol singing, you return to your accommodation for dinner. Then relax, or join one of our optional night safaris. You might see the Northern Lights.

Day Three

After breakfast, you head outside to board the coach for your special Supervised Snow Fun. This is a day of supervised activities that include a Snowshoe Trek (like walking on tennis racquets!), Snowball Throwing Contest, Tandem Skis (two people on one pair of skis ... with hilarious results) and Children's Skis, Snowman Building, Tug-of-War, Snow Hockey, and lots more! In addition, there will be a supervised kids' snowmobile ride. A hot lunch will be provided. Alternatively, you might opt to join the inside craft activities. Then, the highlight of the day. With your special boarding pass, you set off by snowmobile, before you join Santa's own reindeer sleigh in search of Father Christmas. During a private family meeting in his log cabin, each child has the chance to talk with Santa and receives a small gift.

Later, enjoy a Festive Dinner at your hotel, with party hats and streamers. After dinner, why not join us on an optional Northern Lights husky safari?

Day Four

Check out after breakfast, before joining your last Santa safari, a 40-minute Husky Experience or a 1.5-hour Snowmobile Adventure, whichever you did not join on Day 2. There should be time for one final play in the snow or to join one of our optional excursions. After a hot lunch, we depart for Enontekio and our flight home.
