“The tour was great from start to finish and our guide was amazing! I can’t remember his name (begins with an L) but he was so attentive to everyone’s needs/wishes and always made sure we were having the best time, offering to take photos and videos for us too! The huskies were just a dream! I had the best time and will definitely be doing it again! I also booked this companies Northern Lights Tour after my original tour had finished (as they still had space) and as much as the lights didn’t show that night, I still had the most incredible time- toasting marshmallows, eating biscuits, drinking hot drinks…”

3.Santa’s Village & Snowmobiling to Reindeer Farm

★★★★★★★★★★4.6 · 272 reviews · 6.5 hours · from $281

This 6.5-hour Safartica outing combines Santa Claus Village with a guided snowmobile ride to a reindeer farm.

“The tour started with a Hotel pick-up in a nice van, the guide explained the tour very well and was very attentive. All the activities of the tour nicely blended into the next and culminated in a ceremonial crossing of the Arctic affair at the reindeer farm. The food during the day was quite good. We weren’t just led in circles with the snow mobile either (unlike some other tours). We also had a very attentive guide. Our group of two families loved the experience with safactica!”
