Welcome to Finland, the Land of a Thousand Lakes. Upon arrival in Rovaniemi, the Capital of the Finnish Lapland, find your own way to the hotel for check-in (private transfer can be booked in advance). Lapland is as close as reality gets to those who dream of a winter wonderland. Contrasts are a key factor in the allure of Lapland where 24 hour sunlight in the summer replaces the dark winter days. The hustle and bustle of towns and Ski Resorts is just minutes away from the peace and quiet of the wild wilderness. In the evening, meet your Tour Escort in the hotel lobby for an informational meeting, which will give you all the necessary information about the flow of this tour. Meeting time is to be advised.

In the afternoon, at 14:30pm, the pace quickens with a 2.5 km Husky Safari. During this adventure, you will travel in teams of four on a sledge led by a professional musher.
