Home » destinations » Nordic » Lapland Santa Experience Day Trip
Take your children, grandchildren, nieces or nephews on a day trip they’ll never forget as you journey 100 kilometres above the Arctic Circle to a sparkling landscape of snowy forests. For here, in the remote heart of Swedish Lapland, you’ll find Pajala – the secret home of the real Santa Claus, his reindeer and his happy team of helpers.
For a few precious days in December, you can go on a day trip to Lapland on Newmarket Holidays’ specially chartered flight – the only ‘Santa’ flight into Pajala on that day – for a once-in-a-lifetime experience in a natural winter wonderland that’s as far away from the everyday, increasingly commercial Christmas celebration as you could ever hope to find.

Fly direct to Pajala on a specially chartered flight to Swedish Lapland. This will be the only ‘Santa’ flight to Pajala on this day and numbers are strictly limited, which means you’ll have plenty of time to enjoy all the activities on offer throughout the magical day.
Your Lapp hosts will meet you, dressed in traditional Sami costume, before you take a short, warm and comfortable coach journey to Santa’s Home.
After a quick change into the cosy, thermal garments provided, you’ll head out into the snow. Enjoy a magical ride in a traditional reindeer-drawn sleigh, a trip through the countryside on a dog-sled pulled by real huskies and a thrilling ride on a snowmobile. Between the organised activities, you’ll have time to enjoy the snow, with toboggan rides, snowman building and snowball fights!
Once you’ve worked up an appetite, head into the welcoming warmth of the main building, and tuck in to a delicious two-course lunch. Warming hot berry juice and biscuits will also be available throughout the day.
But the highlight of the day will surely come as you set foot on the ‘secret path’ through the forest, and follow the twinkling lanterns to Santa’s log cabin home. Father Christmas will be waiting there to greet you personally; the perfect end to a perfect, magical day.
Temperatures rarely rises above freezing, and can get as low as -35C. Thermal wear for all sizes is provided at Santa’s Village, but we recommend that you bring a suitable hat, gloves and outerwear (preferably layers) for travel between the aircraft and the village. Footwear is also available if you do not have your own boots.
Hot meals will be served on both outbound and inbound flights. Lunch at the village will consist of soup followed by traditional Swedish meatballs or a vegetarian option. Hot berry juice will be available throughout the day. Due to the remoteness of the location Newmarket Holidays are unable to fulfil any special dietary requirements. Any customers who suffer from allergies, please provide your own food for the day. You may also like to bring treats for your children to snack on during the day. Due to airport security, liquids must be purchased after you have passed through Passport Control.
