- primroseg8510 contributionsReindeer great. Huskies disappointingWe did the arctic animals safari and found it a little disappointing.... The reindeer park was lovely and really enjoyed it although jt wasnt a "self driving trip" as advertised. Someone walks the reindeer along whilst you sit in the sledge. But we all enjoyed the reindeer alot. Feeding then etc was fun and we learnt alot about them. The husky part however, was the most disappointing. It was at husky park in santa village. Nothing was as advertised and we felt more like in a conveyor belt to get in and hurry up and get out (as clearly the tour operator had another trip). The husky ride isn't on a proper sleigh but on wheels (this may have been due to not enough snow however). We didn't get a tour of the kennel. And the "unique chance to pet the dogs" involved one dog in the hut at the end where we had hot drinks and there were about 15 people to one dog. We didn't question it at the time as didn't know the tour had ended once we sat down in thr hut. No information was given by the guide. In summary I wouldn't chose husky encounter with this operator. You would be better off sorting it out privately if you want a truly engaging husky trip and perhaps a more private husky farm to have a nicer experience. Kids had a good time nonetheless but adults felt disappointed as the trip was falsely advertised.Written 18 December 2024
- S9714HAashleighc0 contributionsReally lovely day out.Unfortunately the husky part of this trip was cancelled due to the weather but we were lucky enough to attend the reindeer adventure. It was a really magical day, we got to experience a sled ride and to feed the reindeers. The day ended with some tea/ coffee and lovely biscuits next to an incredible fire.Written 13 December 2024
- L2237RLcaroll0 contributionsIncredible experienceThe ice floating was an incredible experience. Super relaxing and beautiful. Only part of my body that got cold were my fingers, the suits did a great job or keeping us warm! Brendan was our guide and we adored him, super knowledgeable and friendly!!!Written 12 December 2024
- JenniferAnniston0 contributionsArtic Animal Combo SafariThank you Alex ! Alex was an amazing tour guide. Alex is warm and welcoming to all. The reindeer farm was magical. The reindeer sleigh ride, feeding the reindeers and learning about them. The Husky Farm was good too. Going on a Husky ride then getting to pat some of the dogs and learning about them. Alex gave a good recommendation for a place to eat lunch at Santa's Village.Written 10 December 2024

I went with 2 kids that still believe in Santa and they were over the moon. To me it was all a bit cheesy, and has a feeling of amusement park, but seeing them so excited was more than enough to make it worth it. They particularly liked the snowmobile, which is not included, but you can go during the free time.
Our guide knew what he was doing, so he made sure we went first to the places that get busiest and we managed to avoid all the queues. I can imagine that if he hadn't done that we'd have to wait 30/40 min in each place and the trip would have been a disaster, so really happy with him.

Alex did a fantastic job touring the group around Santa Claus village and the huskies and the reindeers. I am a solo traveler, and there were three other families. Alex helped entertain me and make sure I was taken care of, so I greatly appreciate him for enhancing my experience. Thank you! I would definitely book with Alex and this company again!

I would recommend this tour as it will save you a bit of time (rather than doing it DIY, one by one). It is do-able the three activities in one day in santa village becauseeverything is walking distance in there, but if you want to know more infos and trivias, and save time on searching the places where to do activities, and queuing to buy the tickets then i would recommend you to book this one. It includes everything and the guide will answet yout questions. Thanks to our guide Alex, we manage to do everything we want to do in 1 day. We didnt have to line to buy tickets in that cold weather. The trivias and his shop recommendations are interesting and useful!

The tour itself was soo worth it. We got to ride in a husky carriage (I advise 5km distance), had a tour in the husky farm, got to pet beautiful huskies, sent letters from Santa’s Post Office, see Santa himself, rode in a reindeer carriage, and had an adventure on snowmobile, and entered the ARCTIC!!! Everything from 10:30 till 16:00. I wish we could spend more time in Santa’s Village but everything closed at 17:00.
Alex was a very very helpful and polite person. He was kind enough to arrange additional things that we wanted to add to the tour today! He was very understanding too. Also, he told us about the live video-cam that was installed right where you enter Arctic Circle. He helped us bu taking a lot of our pictures too!!

We are so pleased we booked with Nordic Adventures and had Alex as our guide. Excellent communication before hand and on time pick up and flexible on the day to timings. We were first in to see Santa and had the place almost to ourselves! Brilliant to be able to get to the front of the queue (especially as it was so cold!) and Alex was a great guide with information. Well worth booking this tour!

We had a wonderful time with Brandan as our guide! The experience combines some of the top attractions including reindeer and husky’s. Brandan was extremely knowledgeable, enthusiastic to answer our questions, honest when he (rarely) needed to find out an answer, very organized and communicative about logistics. The tour was great, but our guide really christened it. Highly recommend!

We had a brilliant day out with a very informative guide. Collected from our apartment and taken to feed the reindeer, we had a sleigh ride followed by a hot drink. Moved on to visit the Huskies,they were wonderful to see, the ride was brilliant. Met Santa and had lots of information throughout from our guide :)

The scenery was beautiful and Santa was great. Wish I would have gone at night rather than during the day because it is all lit up at night. Tour guide was great-helped us find a reindeer hide to purchase which was cheaper there than at our hotel... The reindeer sled ride was great.

We had a fun day with Alex our tour guide. He came and pick us up directly at the hotel and he stayed with us all day. We got to see Santa Claus and Alex brought us at the perfect time so we didn't have to wait long, exhausting queues. He then brought us to see the huskies and do a ride with them and finally a ride with the reindeers. By being with him we basically didn't do any queue at all. Which is great with young kids. Thank you very much Alex!

That's really nice to watch, but all the things are a bit expensive for what they offer.
The Santa House had more than a hour of queue in order to see Santa, but that's what it is.
It's is really fun to cross the Artic Circle.
