An Extreme day trip to Lapland – believe it!

The Winter Wonderland extreme day trip to Lapland is one of the most special ways you can join us during the festive period – with all the family. It’ll be a day that children – and adults – will always remember. And will definitely have given you enough of a taste of the fun to make you want to return!

From the moment the early morning alarm clock rings, there is great anticipation: a trip to Lapland to visit the REAL Father Christmas is no ordinary day! After descending from the clouds and seeing the sprawling snow-capped vastness of Lapland below, the excitement continues to build. This is a land of jolly snowball fights, perfect snow angels and spritely tobogganing – who doesn’t want to be part of all this excitement?

Of course, no trip to Lapland would be complete without calling in on Santa himself – you’ve travelled a long way to see him, after all! Don’t forget to bring a letter, he’d love to know what’s on your Christmas wish list! And, as well as pitching your Christmas wishes to the big man, you must also try your hand – which will be suitably gloved – at the winter experiences that Lapland is famous for: husky sledding, snowmobiling, and a reindeer sleigh ride are all waiting to be sampled!

It's hard to believe that much fun, adventure and activity can fit into just one day. But Christmas is all about believing...

For overnight stays in Lapland during the countdown to Christmas, we do arrange Festive short breaks also, just get in touch!

Our one-day Winter Wonderland Extreme Day Trips Group trip is 28th November 2026, this year from London Gatwick.

other day trips run throughout December until Christmas Eve, with convenient departures from regional airports across the UK, from as far north as Aberdeen, to as far south as Exeter – making Lapland easily accessible to all.

Upon arrival in Lapland, you’ll be taken to collect your all-in-one thermal snow suits and winter boots – essential to keep warm in the Arctic climate, where temperatures can drop to a chilly -30°C! And then, you'll explore the crisp snowscapes which Lapland is famed for.

All of the Winter Wonderland day trips take place in uncommercial, wilderness locations, unspoiled by mass-market tourism or crowds of Santa pilgrims. It’s an outdoors-based day, filled with Lapland’s favourite activities: snowmobiling, husky sledding and a reindeer sleigh ride. Activities take place around a frozen river or a frozen lake – your base from which to set off on a search for Santa!

A hearty lunch is included, and provides much needed energy for more playing in the snow, as well as hot inflight meals on both flights, which is usually a breakfast on the outbound flight and a dinner on the return to the UK.
