North Pole Post Office Day Trip to Lapland - 2008

At last Santa's elves have revealed the location of the original Post Office. It is located at Vaattunki, in a forested setting above the Arctic Circle. This is one of the most beautiful natural settings in Lapland.

The day will evoke memories of brass counters, sealing wax and pigeon holes and you will be able to see Santa's original star navigation system. At his post office Santa continues to handle letters from all over the world with the help of his elves.

After arriving in Rovaniemi and once you have collected your thermal clothing you will be whisked off by coach to this secret location. The elves tell us that during December Santa is often seen close to his post office, supervising the sorting of the letters.

The range of activities during the day ensures fun for all. You can enjoy an exhilarating husky sled ride, a slower reindeer sleigh ride, snowmobiles for adults and children and tobogganing. Lunch at a traditional wooden restaurant will be included in the day. No visit to Lapland would be complete without a visit to Santa and he may be found on an island, reached by a wooden bridge. Each family will have the opportunity to meet him and the discuss their Christmas wishes.

Don't forget to visit the post office where you can meet with Santa's Post Office Elves and learn how the old style of letter collection has been combined with Santa's own brand of magic! There is the opportunity to purchase stamps and mail your own Christmas cards if you wish.

Includes: thermal suits AND boots, reindeer ride, husky ride, snowmobiles (adults and children), visit to Santa's original Post Office, lunch, skidoo licence, reindeer and husky licences, Arctic Circle Crossing certificate, meet Santa Claus, gift for each child.
