About This Tour
Join the Original & World’s First Santa Claus & Northern Lights Experience, created by Arctic GM. This evening combines Christmas spirit, Santa and his elves, and the chance to see the Northern Lights. As Lapland’s Original Aurora Hunters™, our family has lived here for 20 generations since the 1600s. With international awards and 50,000+ guests, Arctic GM is Lapland’s most trusted operator. Every tour is run in-house with certified guides for safety and authenticity. Your evening begins in Rovaniemi, where a heated coach takes you to our private Arctic lands. Santa’s elves welcome you with stories and festive cheer. Around the bonfire, enjoy hot drinks and a Lapland barbecue before the highlight: a private meeting with Santa Claus. You’ll take free photos, hear stories, and receive a postcard gift that elves can mail worldwide with an official Lapland stamp. If skies are clear, the Northern Lights may appear above the snowy forest, the perfect backdrop to your Christmas adventure.
