Heavenly Peace - 2012
Your dogs are eager for the off! Huskies are at their happiest when there is an adventure before them! You decide who is going to be the musher, then settle down to enjoy the ride through the wilderness where trees bow under their burden of snow and the distant fells look mysterious in the half light.
Your husky experience is a highlight of your four night break but there is so much more from a snowmobile adventure to your search for Santa your short break will be filled with magical experiences. Here is a typical itinerary:
After you land in Enontekio in Finland you are guided to your coach. The journey to Hetta takes around 15 minutes and one hour to the Davvi Arctic Lodge in Karesuando.
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. This evening you can join one of the optional activities.
After breakfast, you enjoy your first included Santa 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. This afternoon you can head out for some more snow fun or partake in an optional excursion. This evening, join a walk to the local church. After a short welcome by the vicar and carol singing, you return to your accommodation for dinner.
You'll experience your second safari after breakfast - the Snowmobile Adventure. A warming lunch will follow. A supervised kids' snowmobile ride will be available or, if you are lucky, a chance to get up close to a friendly reindeer. 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 night safaris.
After breakfast, you head outside for a morning of snow fun or you may wish to go on an optional excursion such as ice fishing or driving your own reindeer. A warm lunch will be served. Afterwards you may wish to join in the Christmas crafts. This evening you will enjoy a festive dinner and afterwards there will be time for an optional safari.
Check out after breakfast. Then set off on one final adventure, a Wilderness Treasure Hunt! Alternatively, you have time for one last play in the snow or to join another of the optional excursions. After lunch depart for Enontekio and your flight home.
