Imagine... it's New Year's Eve and in the cold, crisp air of a Lapland night you celebrate the birth of a new year. You've had such a good time seeing in the New Year, you wish you could do it all again. Well you can, because the village of Karesuando lies on the Finnish/Swedish border, deep inside the Arctic Circle, and given the hour's time difference between the two countries, you can stroll across the border to Sweden and start your celebrations all over again! Twice the celebrations ... and twice the fun!

December 30

After you land in Enontekio in Finland you are guided to your coach. The journey to Karesuando takes one hour. Watch out for reindeer in the woods!

Temperatures here can fall to -35C in December and you stop to collect your all-in-one thermal suits and boots, an essential part of your holiday package. Hats, scarves and gloves are also necessary, so remember to pack some for everyone!

After checking in at your chosen accommodation, your Transun rep hosts a welcome meeting, giving you all the information needed to get the most from your break. After dinner you can join one of the optional activities.

New Year's Eve

After breakfast, you will head out on your first safari, a 40-minute Husky Experience, followed by a warming lunch.

Throughout the day you can enjoy snow activities outside, with toboggans available free of charge. Or, if you prefer, there's plenty of family fun to be had making snowmen or enjoying a good old-fashioned snowball fight!

This evening enjoy a walk to the local church across the border (Karesuando). After a short welcome by the vicar and carols you return to the Davvi Arctic Lodge for the special New Year celebration.

New Year's Day

After breakfast, you will be joining your last included safari - the Snowmobile Adventure, followed by lunch. A supervised kids' snowmobile ride will be available.

Then, the highlight of the day when you board a reindeer sleigh in search of Father Christmas. During a private family meeting in his cabin, each child has the chance to talk with Santa and receives a small gift. After dinner relax or join one of the optional activities.

January 2nd

Check out after breakfast. You can then join the Wilderness Treasure Hunt and there should be time for one final play in the snow or to join one of the optional excursions. After lunch, depart for Enontekio and your flight home.
