Venture into the heart of the Magical Forest, where a secret hut awaits—the hidden retreat of none other than Santa Claus himself! Our charming reindeer eagerly await to guide you on this enchanting journey. Along the way, the elves of Apukka delight with their playful antics. Following the sleigh ride, indulge in warm drinks and cookies. While anticipating your audience with Santa, the elves engage you in a festive workshop. Finally, the moment arrives to meet the jolly gift-giver, and who knows, he may have a small surprise in store for you too!
This activity takes place entirely on Apukka Resort's private lands.
Our guides carefully assign seats in the sleighs to maintain an even load for the reindeer. Naturally, our aim is to seat families and parties together whenever possible.
The reindeer sleighs are guided by professionals.
Special diet options (vegetarian, gluten-free, etc.) are available upon request.
