Can I combine a trip to Finland either before or after my Iceland trip? I'd like maybe 5-7 days for Finland. It would work out if I could fly from Iceland to Finland then from Finland back to Los Angeles.

We are pleased to offer a complimentary hold on the trip for 48 hours, after which a deposit of 400 is required to confirm your space.

Is there anything special planned for Christmas Day on the tour?

The itinerary is not significantly affected by Christmas Day. Some shops or attractions may have limited hours, but included activities and transport continue as planned. While there is no formal Christmas event scheduled, spending Christmas in Lapland creates a naturally festive atmosphere, and your leader may suggest local or seasonal experiences on the day.

Can you confirm the hotels included in the tour?

Unfortunately, the 13th December departure has been fully sold out, and we don't have availability for that departure anymore. Please let us know if you'd like us to check availability for another date.

How many hours of daylight for December tours? Is there sufficient daylight hours for winter activities?

During the winter months, Lapland experiences very short daylight hours – in December there are usually only a few hours of twilight-like light each day. While it may sound limiting, our itineraries are designed with this in mind, and there is still sufficient light for planned winter activities.

What are the requirements for the travel documents?

No specific travel documents are necessary; however, a copy of your booking confirmation should be sufficient.

Can I leave the tour earlier?

You can plan your departure according to your preference as long as it is communicated and arranged in advance.

May I ask how old the children will be at the time of travel?

What are the available winter activities?

Our winter activities include the opportunity to rent winter gear, such as boots and overalls, for included activities.

How does the booking process work?

You can book your trip by clicking the 'Book Now' button. After a complimentary hold of 48 hours, a deposit is required to confirm your space.
