Day 2: Husky safari (12 km) and visit to a husky farm by car
After a delicious breakfast, your transport to a husky farm awaits. At the husky farm, you will meet the team dogs, who will be delighted to see you. Your guide will give you all the necessary instructions that you will need to keep your dogs happy and safe, making for a better sled ride experience. You will also be equipped with a safari outfit. Then, you are ready to go on your exciting dog sledding adventure through the pristine landscapes of Finnish Lapland. The safari route covers approximately 12 km and goes through snowy forests and ice-covered lakes surrounding the husky farm. En route, there will be stops to switch drivers and to take photos. The husky tour will take approximately 2 to 2,5 hours including the return transfer from and back to the accommodation. After an eventful day, it’s time to unwind at Hotel Iso-Syöte. You can, for example, visit the hotel’s Arctic Spa, where you can relax in the sauna and pool. Access to the spa is included for guests. Spa treatments can be booked at an additional fee. With a little luck, you may also see the Northern Lights dancing across the night sky tonight.


Day 3: Reindeer safari in old fashioned style 

Strengthen yourself with a hearty breakfast, ready for another fun-filled day ahead! Today, you will embark on a 2-hour reindeer safari (approximately 3 km). Sitting in a reindeer sleigh, you will travel through the winter wonderland of Finnish Lapland the old-fashioned Lappish way. Hot drinks like coffee and pulla, a traditional Finnish cardamon bread, are served in a “kota” hut. Here, you can also fry a sausage by the fire for lunch while the reindeer herder tells stories about the year of the reindeer. Also included is a safari outfit. End the day relaxing at the hotel and let yourself be enchanted by the fantastic views in this incredible environment.

Day 4: Free day
Today is at your leisure. Decide for yourself whether you would like to relax at the hotel or book one of the many additional activities the hotel offers at an additional charge. See the “Extras” section for options. You can, for example, take an excursion to Ranua zoo and Santa’s Village in Rovaniemi. A bus will take you from the hotel to the park, where you will have two hours to explore the zoo. Afterwards, you will head to Rovaniemi near the Polar Circle and visit the famous Santa Claus Village. There are many souvenir and Finnish design / handicraft shops to check out. If you want, you can also meet Santa himself! Also available is an ice fishing trip to a frozen lake including the return transfer to and from the lake by car. Try yourself at this traditional Finnish winter activity and warm up with an included coffee break by the open fire. If you feel the need for speed, you can book a snowmobile safari that takes you from the hotel down and up the Iso Syöte hill.
