Day 1
Fly to Finland. Transfer to Kangos For Santa Break
Fly to Finland where you will be met and transferred the 90 Minutes by minivan to Kangos, your base for this authentic private Santa break. On arrival at the lodge you are guaranteed a warm welcome by Johann, Sara and their young family.

With no one else in sight this is the perfect Lapland retreat.

Day 2
Private Santa visit and Husky Safari. Northern Lights Hot Tub
What could be more magical for young children than venturing across a frozen lake, surrounded by pristine pine forest, in their own reindeer sled to the magical island where Father Christmas is meeting each family privately for a 30 minute audience!
His home is a traditional Tepee and as you gather around the crackling fire, presents will be exchanged, stories told and memories created. Your Sami guide will lead your reindeer sled to Father Christmas' secret Tepee for the private audience and then afterwards on a journey back to the Lodge through the snow covered wonderland.
Prior to departure we will ask you to provide us with information on your children, such as best friends names and those of any pets so that Santa is well briefed!
This afternoon enjoy a privileged tour of the Husky kennel adjacent to the lodge. Johann will introduce you to his husky dogs and there are normally puppies for the children to play with! Learn about these amazing animals prior to setting off for a Sled dog tour, through breathtaking scenery reminiscent of Narnia.
This evening the sauna and outside hot tub will be fired up allowing you to gaze out across the frozen lake and look up towards the stars and hopefully to the northern lights!
Day 3
Reindeer Sleds, Snowmobiles and Fun in the Snow!
Enjoy breakfast in the Lodge after which the frozen lake in front of the lodge will be turned into an Arctic activity centre!

If that is not enough ice fishing rods will be available while snow shoes and cross country skis will be on hand if you would like to try some Nordic sports.
