Day by Day Itinerary
Day 1
Arrive into Lulea
Day 2
Meet the Reindeer and cross the Arctic Circle
After breakfast, it is time to meet the most iconic animal of Lapland – the reindeer! Learn about local Sami culture over a traditional lunch, and even enjoy a short sled ride. There will be time to cross the Arctic Circle line before heading back to the camp for dinner, and to relax in the sauna frozen into the lake to look for the Northern Lights!
Day 3
Time to test your snowmobiling skills again, as you drive yourselves through the winter landscape to your next destination – Arctic Retreat. Check into your 3 luxury cabins and relax this evening. Perhaps warm up in your private jacuzzis and wood-fired sauna? This afternoon enjoys an exclusive family reconnect activity only available through Off the Map Travel:
For kids 4-11
Exclusive bread baking in the outdoors. Learn to cook traditional Sami Gáhkko bread. A delicious accompaniment for stews and soups and is gorgeous with any kind of cheese. There are many ways to bake it but the best is to bake in a frying pan on the campfire. Kneading the dough is half the fun!
For kids 11 – 18
Exclusive outdoor winter skills. Learn to make a fire in the snow with a flint, drill a hole in the ice and try to catch fish, make hot chocolate or tea over the open fire and learn to stay safe and dry in the Arctic winter climate.
After dinner, there will be great Northern Lights opportunities again as you will be far away from any light pollution.
Day 4
Husky Adventure
Another meeting with friendly Arctic wildlife awaits, and today it is with huskies! Drive your own team of excitable dogs through the snow, and stop for lunch over the campfire during your journey. This evening is at your leisure to relax together at Arctic Retreat.
Day 5
Flight back home
Check out this morning and take your private transfer back to the Airport for your onward journey. Perhaps there will be time to stop at the UNESCO world heritage Gammelstad Church town for some exploring.

Shared Experiences
From Our Customers
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
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.
Rosie
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
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
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!
