Santa's Lapland's Company Information

Santa's Lapland was established in the early noughties to fill a gap in the market: it offers specialist 3- and 4-day package holidays to meet the "real" Santa Claus in his home. This is why most elements of the holiday, such as activities, accommodation on half board and pre-departure letters to Santa, are included so parents need not worry about costly extras.

The trips are authentic in style, offering a true Lappish experience in the Saariselkä wilderness in northern Lapland, as well as unforgettable itineraries including husky sled rides, reindeer sleigh rides, playing with Santa's elves in their Winter Wonderland and a private family meeting with Santa Claus.
