Dream visit for the family - Was an outstanding experience from start to finish.
Early morning Santa village so missing the queues to see Santa. Then time for a walk around the village.
Food at lunch was hearty and warming then dressed up in winter gear for the Reindeer sleigh ride.
Finally a trip on the snowmobiles in the dark. Guides were excellent and very helpful. To top it all off we had fresh snow overnight so picturesque at every point of the trip with knee deep snow for the kids and adults to have make many happy memories

Super fun and whole experience was great! - We went on Christmas Eve (24 Dec morning) so was prepared for the attractions to be packed. It was a smoother experience than expected and the guides were calm and led us to each attractions in a timely and orderly manner.
We managed to see Santa in a short period of time despite the queue, and snowmobiling was so fun! Winter gear is provided for the snowmobiling, and it was very clean.
Highly recommend going with Safartica!

Really good - The afternoon was incredible. Snowmobiling and the reindeer farm with a brief reindeer ride was awesome- made the whole day worth it. The guide at the farm was amazing and full of knowledge. The morning was just okay. Too long at Santa Claus village although we did get a picture with Santa and did not have to wait long. The lunch was not good.

Over rated - It was a group of 50 people. When we arrived at santas Village they had changed our time (guide wasn't aware) so we had to go que will ALL the general population (on Christmas eve) if we wanted to do that.
Then lunch was hectic and not great.
Then we got to the snow mobile place, 50 people plus the other groups crammed into a small room to b given instructions and get the clothes and change all in this 1 area. It was insane. And more groups kept coming in.
Then we were at the back of the snow mobile convoy, but just behind the kids in a sled. So we couldn't go faster then 10kms. While all the parents at the front took off.
Road the mobiles to the reindeer place, once again we're all crammed into a hut with a lovely fire that everyone who was at the front of the line hogged while the rest of us stayed frozen.
Then we had a literal 5 min reindeer sleigh ride to then jump back on the same mobile staying in the same order (as in behind the kids) to go back to the tiny room so everyone can get changed.
Then we made a complete detour when we finally left to head back to their office to drop a family off.
Would have been cheaper to do these activities on our own, and definitely don't recommend doing it on Christmas eve.
