Epiphany Special in Kuusamo – Holiday Club Kuusamo Tropiikki
Day 1 – The Beginning of an Unforgettable Adventure MADRID / KUUSAMO The magical journey begins! Arrival at the airport, where the Catai staff will be waiting to assist you with all check-in formalities, ensuring a smooth and stress-free departure. We board our special direct flight to Kuusamo, in the heart of Finnish Lapland. Onboard, enjoy a snack included as the northern charm begins to embrace us. Upon arrival, meet your local guide and transfer (approx. 10 minutes) to the Holiday Club Kuusamo Tropiikki, a charming resort nestled between Kuusamo and Ruka, surrounded by pristine Arctic scenery and right beside the stunning frozen Lake Petäjälampi. A perfect setting to experience the magic of Lapland’s nature. After check-in, we’ll enjoy dinner at the hotel restaurant. Overnight stay.
Day 2 – Arctic Adventures: Snowmobiles, Spa & Nonstop Fun KUUSAMO: SNOWMOBILE SAFARI, SPA & ANGRY BIRDS Start your day with a delicious buffet breakfast. Before heading out, we’ll collect our thermal suits, which will be available for the entire stay. Today’s highlight is one of the most thrilling activities of the trip: a snowmobile safari. Equipped with helmets and gloves, and following a safety briefing from the guides, we’ll begin the adventure. Adults will drive the snowmobiles (two people per vehicle), while children will ride in a sled pulled by the guide’s snowmobile. The route winds through snow-covered forests and frozen lakes, delivering a true taste of Arctic freedom and power. After the ride, we return to the nearby Rukan Salonki complex, a snowy wonderland where you can enjoy:
-
A lit sledding hill
-
Free-use snow tubes
-
The Finnish carousel, where one person spins another on ice
-
Traditional kick-sledges, the classic Lappish winter transport
Light lunch will be served at the complex’s restaurant. In the afternoon, free time to enjoy the hotel’s tropical spa, a warm indoor oasis filled with exotic plants—a relaxing treat for both adults and children. (Guests staying in villas/apartments have one spa entry included; those in hotel rooms enjoy unlimited access.) Children can also enjoy the Angry Birds Park (entrance included), a massive indoor playground inspired by the famous birds, complete with ball pits, pedal karts, video games, and many other fun features. Dinner at the hotel restaurant. Overnight stay.
Day 3 – Ice Magic & A Visit to Santa’s Secret World KUUSAMO: ICE FISHING, SNOWSHOES & MEETING SANTA CLAUS After a buffet breakfast, we head out for an extraordinary Arctic activity: ice fishing on a frozen lake. We’ll strap on snowshoes to make walking on snow easier and head out to the lake, where a local fisherman will welcome us in a traditional laavu (Lappish shelter). He’ll teach us how to use a kaira, a tool used to drill holes in the ice, and everyone will have a chance to try fishing through the hole. You might catch perch or pike, typical of Lapland’s waters. Light lunch will follow at a local restaurant. In the afternoon, we experience one of the most magical moments for children (and adults!): meeting Santa Claus.
We’ll travel to the charming village of Vuotunki, where Santa’s house sits beside a large frozen lake. Snow naturally forms giant toboggans down the hillsides, perfect for sliding fun. Inside the house, an elf will greet us and lead us into the cozy living room, where we’ll meet Santa Claus himself. We’ll spend time with him, hear stories, and maybe even sing a Christmas song. Meanwhile, Mrs. Claus, a fantastic baker, will teach us how to make delicious Christmas cookies, which we’ll bake in her traditional wood-fired oven. At the end of the visit, Santa will give each child a special gift. We return to the hotel, where we’ll enjoy dinner at the restaurant. Overnight stay.
Day 4 – Arctic Soul: Huskies, Reindeer & Optional Mini Snowmobiles KUUSAMO: ARCTIC ANIMALS SAFARI: HUSKIES & REINDEER Buffet breakfast, then off to meet some of Lapland’s most iconic animals. First stop: a husky farm, where the eager barking of these friendly dogs will welcome us. After a briefing on safety and sled handling, we’ll head out for a thrilling husky sled ride. Each sled carries two people, a musher and a passenger, who can switch roles mid-ride. The journey starts with excitement and quickly turns into a peaceful glide through snowy wilderness. Back at the farm, we’ll warm up with a comforting hot drink in a kota, the traditional Lappish hut. Light lunch is included during the excursion. Next, we head through beautiful snowy forests and icy lakes to a traditional reindeer farm, where we’ll enjoy a gentle reindeer sleigh ride. Local herders will share insights into their ancestral way of life, rooted in centuries-old Lappish culture. Free time in the afternoon to relax at the hotel or join an optional activity:
