Experiences & Bonds
Under the Northern Sky
In Lapland’s silent Arctic nights, the sky ignites with ethereal curtains of green, pink, purple, and redauroral hues born from solar winds dancing above snowcapped forests. Beneath the Arctic Circle’s hush, each aurora feels sacred—a luminous link between earth and sky. Sleep in a glass igloo under an endless blanket of stars. Watch the Aurora Borealis swirl above as you and your loved ones share quiet awe.
Santa's Home
Where Christmas is forever, and joy knows no age. Meet Santa in his snowy village, ride with huskies, and trace your path across the Arctic Circle. Beneath the Northern Lights, let your inner child reawaken with laughter and wonder, the truest ways to bond. Visit a Sámi camp, learn from elders, and experience a lifestyle in deep harmony with Arctic land and fauna
Survive the snow
Master Arctic snow survival: learn the basics as you try to build insulated shelters. Start fires on raised platforms, carry dry tinder, and wear layered, moisturewicking clothing. Forage winter edibles and icefish for food. In Lapland, time stretches and the ordinary disappears. Whether under thick snow or glowing summer skies, this is a land where wonder becomes your daily rhythm.
Arctic Wildlife & Wilderness
This is raw, wild nature, untouched forests, fjells and fjords. Spot reindeer, arctic foxes, or golden eagles on guided treks. Snowshoe or hike through forests where silence is the soundtrack, and nature is the teacher. Taste a Arctic char pulled from glacial waters or keep it simple with the golden cloudberry. Sleep beneath glass domes , watching the sky dance above you.
Where Every Day is
Designed for You
Waiting together in your igloo under Arctic skies, wrapped in warmth and quiet as you watch the Northern lights. No rush. No distractions.
Just a moment that belongs to you. Parent and child co-pilot the husky sled, reading terrain and dogs together, building confidence through shared responsibility. Stories, reindeer care, and fireside meals introduce children to respect for nature and community, all learned gently, not taught. Snow Play & Arctic Challenges Building, laughing, navigating moments that invite cooperation and joy without competition or pressure.
Thank you so much for organizing such a wonderful fun trip. Spent some fun time with my daughter. You really have organized it very well for woman travelers alone, it’s great We both enjoyed all the experiences; the husky ride got the better of us and was a tad scary.
Four days in Finland felt surprisingly full. It wasn’t a long holiday, but it gave us exactly what we needed — time together to reconnect. It was very well planned except for a slight confusion on a meeting point
You really made our life easy, and we thoroughly enjoyed every bit of and we spent some quality time together as a family! We loved the stuff put together for the kids. Will definitely be coming back to you to plan our next trip!!
“Had an amazing time with my son. Beautiful landscapes and very well curated experiences too. It was a journey that I felt was especially made for us as we enjoyed our time together driving , hiking , cooking and building our own yurt"
We really wanted to say this has been a fantastic holiday! We are so impressed with your planning and attention to detail, and your patience with all my changes and questions. We are really so blown away this has really been a superb trip! We’ve had a blast! And all the arrangements have been spectacular!
Thank you for our beautiful holiday. Roshan calls it " the best holiday ever". We had the Northern lights dancing in the sky above us 💃💃😃😃... Just outside our igloo. The polar icebreaker cruise was an experience of a lifetime!!! Woww! No words to explain the high 💃💃! Thank you for planning it
FAQ's
What is the best time to visit Lapland with children?
＋
Lapland works year-round, but the experience changes entirely by season. Winter (November to March) brings Northern Lights, glass igloos, husky sledding, and Santa's village in Rovaniemi. Summer (June to August) brings the Midnight Sun and long, luminous days. Minimum age is 4 years; recommended trip length is 5 to 7 days.
Is seeing the Northern Lights guaranteed?
＋
No — it depends on solar activity and clear skies. We recommend a minimum of 3 nights in the region to maximise your chances. When it happens, it's the kind of shared moment you'll talk about for years. When it doesn't, Lapland still delivers.
Can we build a snow shelter in Lapland?
＋
Yes. Snow survival is one of the most hands-on parts of an Apricous Lapland trip — learning to build insulated shelters, start fires in Arctic conditions, and navigate the land together. It's guided and safe throughout, but genuinely challenging enough to feel like a real achievement. Usually the experience children talk about most when they get home.
How physically demanding is a Lapland trip for children?
＋
It depends on how you design it. Activities range from gentle glass igloo stays, reindeer visits, Santa's village — to more active: husky sledding, snow survival challenges, and wilderness walks. We build the itinerary around your child's age and comfort. A 5-year-old's Lapland and a 14-year-old's Lapland are quite different.
