Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1
Arrival into Rovaniemi
Day 2
Meet Santa Claus
Today you’ll meet the main man himself – Santa! Spend the day at the Santa Claus Village; pay a visit to his workshop, post a letter from the Official Post Office, and do a little shopping. You can also choose to upgrade your visit to Santa to a private family experience too.
Day 3
Dog Sledding Adventure
Today you will glide through the snow-topped forests on a dog-sledding adventure for the whole family! Spend some time getting to know the dogs and you may even meet some of the puppies too! Tonight you will head out to search for the Aurora overhead around a warm camp fire in the wilderness.
Day 4
Reindeer Sledding and a night on ice
Get ready for another Arctic adventure – reindeer sledging! Spend the day interacting with the area’s most iconic animals and learn all about the Sami culture too. Tonight, you’ll spend the night sleeping sub-zero in a room made totally of snow and ice! A warm room can be booked as a backup or alternative.
Day 5
Snowshoeing and Glass Igloos
Today, you will head out with your guide to explore by snowshoe. Snowshoeing is the perfect way to get around on the snow as these clever shoes stop you from sinking into the deep snow! A fun activity for all the family to enjoy. Your final night this evening is to sleep in an amazing igloo with a glass roof towards the sky and hopefully the Aurora too!
Day 6
Return home
Check out this morning and take your private transfer back to the airport for your return journey home or continue your magical adventure into the New Year and a new destination!

Shared Experiences
From Our Customers
Amy was a great help with planning this trip. Our trip turned out amazing. I also was very grateful for Off the Map’s Front Desk service, which promptly handled an on the spot issue we had.
Karen
Off the Map Travel was great! Alex helped us plan the most amazing 10 day honeymoon to Iceland. He gave us great recommendations and was so patient with us during the planning process!
Tori
The best travel experience ever on every level you can think of during a Lapland expedition (food, activities, timings, accommodation, transport, service, equipment…). I highly recommend Off The Map Travel for their outstanding level of professionalism and detail oriented mindset!
Sophie & Guy
I used OTMT to organise a holiday to see the Northern Lights for my partner’s 50th birthday. They took the time to understand my priorities, the kinds of places we like to stay and the things we like to do. They recommended a fabulous itinerary in Norway centred around the Lyngen Experience Lodge. The holiday itself lived up to expectations and I have no hesitation in recommending OTMT. They listened carefully during the planning and delivered the perfect present for my partner.
Alex
We originally hired Off the Map Travel in 2020 to set up a trip to see the Northern Lights. That didn’t happen, thanks to COVID. But, we persisted and in March of 2023, we took a 16-day trip that included both Iceland and Norway. IT WAS MAGICAL! Off the Map took care of everything! We were pampered at every stage of our trip. The people they hired and the activities they planned added up to a trip that will set the standard for any we’ll ever take in the future. Alex and his team were fabulous! We recommend them without restraint!
Jim & Kris
I would thoroughly recommend this company. Their planning and advice was spot on. Alex responded to my calls and emails very promptly. I will definitely use them again for future trips.
