Weekend break in Lapland with santa

Planet

Lapland is characterized by its unspoiled nature, forests, vast swamps, and many lakes. It is our responsibility to protect and preserve Lapland's nature for future generations. Join us in our goal to take care of nature and wildlife. We follow strict “no trace left behind” policy and we encourage you to do the same. Let's leave nothing that doesn't belong in nature behind us. Our guides will collect any trash from you and feel free to give them anything you need to throw away. They will make sure it is disposed or recycled properly.

In order to limit waste production, recyclable or reusable dishware is being used during our tours. Thankfully, tap water in Finland is of very good quality, therefore we use tap water. Our guides bring this water in reusable thermal bottles for our customers. This tour is operated in winter and the temperature is usually below zero. The guides will bring enough water for everybody. However, we recommend you to bring your own (thermal) bottle which you can refill in your hotels or in our office before the trip.

During the tour, you will taste local food such as reindeer sausage usually purchased from a market across the street, so we do not produce any food shopping-related emissions.
