If anyone has used this guide or got any tips to add to it for those of us planning on going, your suggestions would be greatly appreciated0 -
We went last year 19th to 24th December (in the school holidays). 2 adults and 1 child for around £1500 for the 5 nights.
We flew with FinnAir from LHR to RVN (Via HEL) for £160 each return.
Rented an estate car for 6 days for £120 via a broker
Spent the first night in a snow igloo (on AirBnbB) for £200
Did a 25KM (3hr) snowmobile safari and a 6KM husky safari for £150 each
Did the following 4 nights in a lovely apartment in Rovaniemi for £180
Reindeer sleigh safari for £15 each
Entry to Santapark (2days) £30 each
And then a few pounds here and there in the supermarkets for food
And loads of other stuff to do for free like sledging and SataWorld.0 -
I booked a husky/horse sleigh ride via a local company , cost €70 each . No queue , private transfer there and back , not rushed.
TUI wanted €140 EACH for a similar trip .I'm a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on the Shopping and Freebies, Phones and TV and Over 50s boards.
