Day 2. Kuusamo. Snowmobile Safari, Spa, and Angry Birds

Buffet breakfast at the hotel. Before starting our activities, we will collect the thermal suits that we can use throughout our stay in Lapland.

During the journey, we will feel the power of these machines and enjoy the snowy forests and frozen lakes. We will return to the nearby Rukan Salonki resort to enjoy the snow. In the resort, you have access to an illuminated sled slide where you can slide down and use free floaters. On the frozen lake, you can try the Finnish carousel, where one person sits while the other spins it, and you can also use "kick-sledges," the most traditional and authentic means of transportation, similar to a sled. Light lunch at the resort's restaurant. In the afternoon, you will have free time, during which we recommend enjoying the hotel's spa pool, an area decorated with exotic plants, a tropical oasis.

In his house, Santa and Mrs. Claus will be waiting for us, and we will have the opportunity to bake cookies and create Christmas decorations together. They will tell us about life in Lapland.

First, we will receive instructions on how to use the small fishing rods and bait, as well as the "kaira," which is the drill used to make holes in the ice. Then it's our turn to find the best spot and try our luck on the ice. The lake is home to perch and pike, both natural inhabitants. In the laavu, we can enjoy a hot drink around a campfire to warm up. We will have a light lunch in a Lappish kota, which are typical shelters of the Sami (Lapland's indigenous people), similar in shape to teepees or Native American tents. After lunch, we will continue with an activity that is enjoyed by both young and old: we will put on snowshoes and head into the snowy forest. The guide will provide information about the nature and seasons in this area. The nature that we now see hibernating becomes a completely different world a few months later when it blooms under the midnight sun.
