Short breaks from £649 per adult, £455 per child


On this short break you can feel the spirit of the Arctic and we hope to catch a glimpse of the elusive Northern Lights. You'll experience some wonderful and exhilarating activities that take you into the beautiful natural surroundings of this part of the world. Your accommodation and activities are based around one part of the official Northern Lights route, which stretches for hundreds of kilometres across the plains of Lapland into the fjords of Arctic Norway.

Day 2:

You can enjoy the morning at leisure or you may wish to book an optional excursion. We recommend the 'Snowmobile Wilderness' safari (3.5 hrs) or the Ice Fishing and Snowmobile experience (2.5 hrs); both at extra cost. In the afternoon you can meet reindeer herders from the indigenous Sami people. On our included 'Reindeer Camp' excursion, you will be introduced to the local herders and then you can enjoy a leisurely safari into the surrounding wilderness (5km). In the evening, you can enjoy an included Northern Lights Husky Safari, where a team of eager huskies will take you in search of the aurora borealis (duration 2.5hrs). Meals: B, L, D.

Day 3:

During the day, you can enjoy 'The Call of the Wild' husky safari. This is an included daytime safari, where you'll be introduced to the dogs, and learn about how they are cared for and handled, before embarking on a safari into the wilderness. In the evening, you'll go out on snowmobile in search of the Northern Lights. This is one of the most exhilarating safaris available - and you'll need to make especially sure that you're wrapped up warm! Meals: B, L, D.

Day 4:

Enjoy the day at leisure, or you may wish to book an optional excursion. We recommend our Lapland Multi-Fun excursion, which includes a visit to a nearby museum to learn about the many local traditions and customs, a visit to a unique Snow Castle, and an afternoon in the company of a reindeer herder who will introduce you to his remarkable way of life. This is a full day excursion (8 hours - at extra cost). In the evening, your included activity gives you a taste of genuine local customs as you don snowshoes and venture out under the arctic skies to catch a glimpse of the Northern Lights. Meals: B, L, D.

Day 5:

After breakfast at the hotel, you'll be free to relax for the rest of the morning. There may be time for an optional excursion. Perhaps a snowmobile safari or a reindeer ride. Transfer to the airport for your return flight. Meals: B.
