A wonderful experience!
What a great adventure!! We started off on a tour to Santa Claus village. We had about 1.5 hours to explore on our own before meeting again for lunch. This was plenty of time to take the atmosphere, wave to the webcam, visit Santa and post a letter from Santa’s post office. We found a lovely coffee shop to enjoy a hot chocolate and there are plenty of gift shops to buy souvenirs. We even had a tour guide who offered to take a series of photos for us which was ideal! The lunch was buffet style and was fine before we headed back to Rovaniemi to get on our snowmobile to reindeer farm. If you needed, you were provided with full winter attire to keep you warm during the snowmobile - I would recommend the thermal socks in particular!! The snowmobiling was an amazing experience. The journey to reindeer farm takes about 45 mins and there are two people to a snow mobile. The guides were excellent at keeping an eye on everyone and doing regular checks throughout the journey. When we arrived at reindeer farm, we went inside to warm up beside the fire with a hot orange and hear stories about the reindeer. The whole place was a winter wonderland. After we had heated up, we were taken on a reindeer sleigh ride (just a short loop which was long enough in the cold) and we returned to our snow mobile to head back to Rovaniemi. The whole experience was amazing. A full day, full of fun and lovely memories made. Our tour guides deserve a special mention for making the whole day so memorable.

A great day in snow
Feb 2023 • Solo
Schedule of the day: Santa Claus Village => lunch buffet near by => snowmobile => Reindeer farm

Zuzanna was our guide, a really nice, helpful and talkative one. The group was small, 4 people including the guide, making it a really intimate experience. Plus, she took great pictures.

Santa Claus Village itself is already a cool place, we get to see the snowy view around it and feel the Christmas vibe. Tho you pay extra for everything else (other than seeing) you want to do, none is included. The tour only takes you there I think.

Love the snowmobile part the most. The view is like we entered frozen Narnia.

Arctic Delight Tour review
We were a family of 3 with 1 teenage child of 15 years old and we had a blast. It was one hell of an experience. The tour guide took us to the Santa claus village where we met Santa and then we rode snowmobiles to a reindeer farm and rode the reindeers on sleighs. The snowmobile and reindeer sleigh experience was amazing in the cold snow. The only hassle took place was when we all sat for lunch time I guess the seats were not booked properly for us so we had to negotiate a little for the arrangement. Other wise the tour was very nice.

Snowmobiling ride was only 1 hour and too slow
We booked for a family of 8 people. Martin and Amelia were our Tour Guides who took us from Safartica Office by coach to Santa Claws Village (approximately 10 minutes), we arrived at 9:50am. We were advised to start queuing straight away to see Santa, as it can get very busy. We queued less than 20 mins and was greeted by a very happy Santa. No photography was allowed and we paid £35 for a glossy print. At 11:30am we met back up with Martin & Amelia and was taken to the rear of Santas village to a buffet restaurant. Food consisted of Pork, vegetables and cakes. Fizzy drinks and alcohol was to be purchased at bar, but squash, water, tea and coffee were free. We spent 45 minutes at restaurant before getting back on coach and returning to Safartica Office. We were given overalls, boots, socks, baklava, helmet and gloves and walked about 7 minutes to collect the Snowmobiles. Martin was very thorough and explained everything very clearly. Martin led the tour and we had an exhilarating ride along Finlands longest lake (frozen) which was amazing, we had a few stops along the way and was told not to worry about taking photos as there will be plenty of time on the way back. We reached the reindeer farm and what a treat this was. The reindeers seemed happy to carry two people through the trees on a 2/3 minute ride, but I noticed they ran a lot faster down hill due to the weight of the sledge pushing them. A Reindeer Herder sat us around an indoor fire shelter and blessed us with a knife to the back of the neck and black soot to the forehead. He told some pretty amazing stories about Finland and Reindeers. Following this we were taken for a hot beverage and cake where we were awarded our Reindeer Licences. Upon heading back to the Snowmobiles, we collected a toboggan to sled down the small hill. Amelia guided us back to Safartica Offices and the family was split up, some with Martin and some with Amelia. We were extremely disappointed as she stopped us going any faster than 25km unlike Martin who allowed us to go at a steady fast speed. We were unable to keep up with the our family in front who kept stopping to wait for us and to take photos as promised. Amelia failed to allow us to take any photos and for this I am only giving 2 stars. Amelia later explained that someone had died on the lake the week before and this is why she was slow.

A tale of two halves
Guides were friendly and well-organised but the group was reasonably large. For the morning part - Santa’s Village and the lunch - this wasn’t too problematic but in the afternoon our already large group joined with another large group for the snowmobiling and reindeer ride.

Safety wise, it was fine. When we arrived at the reindeer farm, it was all a bit disorganised and my husband missed out on a ride despite waiting at the gate the whole time. When we pointed this out to them at the end, the people running the farm just said to us “well, we asked the tour guides a couple of times to make sure everyone had a ride and we’re not going around again.”

The guides seemed embarrassed by the attitude of the people running the rides and so offered to take a family photo of us next to the reindeer but we would have just preferred that my husband got a ride.

When going inside for a hot drink and biscuit, again it was very busy with the two large groups in a small space and, as we were the last there (due to waiting in vain for my husband’s reindeer ride), we were unable to find a space for the 5 of us to sit together.

The morning was great, the afternoon less so. Lunch was good quality local fare and a decent range of options in the buffet as well (the two raw fish dishes were incredible) so no complaints there.

Amazing experiences
Mar 2022
We booked ourselves 3 experiences and so glad we did so with them.

1) the Aurora picnic which was excellent as the lady who was our guide did a fantastic job giving us the history and details of the Aurora phenomenon. She was very hands on setting up the camp and giving us a little picnic.

2) Full day snowmobile safari to Snow hotel - We couldn't have had a better guide, David was brilliant. His enthusiasm and confidence was infectious and he made the whole trip so enjoyable. He was extremely helpful and patient with our challenged skills on the snowmobile. The snow hotel was fabulous experience and the lunch served there was outstanding.

3) Arctic delight - Santas village and snow mobiles to reindeer farm. We were a part of a big group so had Boris and Barbara as our guides. Santas village was a delight specially for the younger ones, loads of souvenir shops and cafes to visit. The buffet lunch was average. We were then shuttled back by bus to the snow mobiles to ride over to the reindeer farm which was yet another great experience.

We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Safartica for fabulous experiences of the Lapland.

Jan 2020
We came to Lapland for the first time in January 2020, 12th-15th. I booked this trip for the 14th and it was worth every penny. Rachel was our guide and she was fantastic from start to finish, it was just me travelling alone with my two sons, 3 and 4 years old. They done everything to make our trip easy and enjoyable and my youngest had fallen in love with Rachel by the end of the day. It was such a good day with amazing memories made. Thank you so much!!!!

My fiance (then girl friend) took me there as my birthday present and I fell totally in love in it. She also proposed to me on the arthic circle. It is a must to visit there. It became our every year holiday destination.
