Lapland is found to the north of Scandinavia
and  is recognised as the home of Santa Claus and one of the most unique concepts in travel is to arrange a tour to this Arctic Region to meet him personally during the month of December. Although the concept of tours to Lapland, meeting with Santa has existed for in excess of 25 years it is only in the last few years that demand for such visits has grown considerably. This has created pressure in the market place for low cost trips, a number of which are on offer, but it is always important to remember the adage that you generally receive what you pay for in some shape or form.

Lapland as a region simply is not cheap and quality services are expensive. There are no two ways about it, if the best quality is required one needs to look to the more expensive arrangements This statement could be considered as anti selling our own product but our choice is to be realistic and very straight forward in our aims.

Lapland Direct aims to offer you a professional reservations service with a choice of tours for 3 and 4 nights duration. Whilst our tours are lower in cost than many competitors we do not do so by paring back the quality.

Climate
The climate in Lapland can be extreme, with temperatures as low as -40 degrees centigrade. Nevertheless, because the air is so clear and dry it will actually feel warmer than you might expect. The amount of daylight can also vary enormously during the winter months, from between four to fourteen hours per day. The weather conditions can often dictate the itineraries of many of the tours and safaris that we operate and which, therefore, could need to change at a moments notice. Lapland is also renowned for the Aurora Borealis, or Northern Lights - a prolonged and strange glow of light in the night sky. This occurs mainly between November–March, but does extend into other months. However, we cannot guarantee that you will see this spectacle during your holiday or whilst participating in any of our tours.
