Day by day

Itinerary

  1. 1

    Helsinki, Finland

    Hei Helsinki! Finland’s vibrant capital, where history converges with architectural style and combines with a laid-back vibe across beautiful islands and pristine public parks, welcomes you. With no scheduled activities throughout the afternoon, spend the day as you wish, exploring the city independently. This evening, gather with new friends for a welcome dinner in the city center, taking a 20-minute stroll to a local restaurant. Hyvää ruokahalua! (bon appetit!)

  2. 2

    Helsinki

    Join a local expert for an engaging city tour. If Finland’s heart beats in Helsinki, then Helsinki’s core is the Empire-style Senate Square, home of the iconic Helsinki Cathedral. Drive through the charming neighborhoods of the city and visit the Church in the Rock, a Lutheran place of worship excavated directly into solid rock. Continue to see the steel monument dedicated to the world-famous composer Jean Sibelius. This afternoon and evening are free to explore more of Helsinki independently.

  3. 3

    Helsinki - Kakslauttanen - Northern Lights Search

    Escape to northernmost Finland’s winter wonderland on board a flight to Ivalo and magical Lapland. Like a storybook come to life, Lapland’s culture is steeped in myth and legend. Relish a sled ride with reindeer and unspoiled views of the northern lights. At the remote Kakslauttanen Resort, spend two nights in your very own Finnish log cabin indulging in your own personal Finnish sauna. Take the motor coach on a chase for the northern lights. Stops along the pursuit allow you the chance to witness nature’s dazzling, electric light show.

  4. 4

    Kakslauttanen - Northern Lights Search

    Hit the snow and mush yourself to breakfast aboard your own authentic Finnish sleigh. After a leisurely breakfast, meet Santa's elves, who will take you to meet Santa Claus in his own home. The rest of the afternoon is yours to spend as you please throughout the resort until dinner. After dinner, under the Arctic moonlight, a reindeer farmer introduces you to some friendly Lappish reindeer. Set out on an exhilarating reindeer safari through remote Kakslauttanen. Then, step inside a Lappish teepee, or kota, and sip warm berry juice (a Finnish tradition) around an open fire while gaining insight into the importance of reindeer herding in Lapland. The search for the elusive northern lights continues in the surroundings of northern Finland’s wilderness.

  5. 5

    Kakslauttanen - Northern Lights Search

    Breathe in fresh Arctic air this morning and step into the role of leader of your own dog sled team. Zoom through the wilderness on a husky safari, driving your husky guides that are as fast as they are adorable. Spend some time getting to know these amazing dogs and learn about their different commands. You’ll also be introduced to the equipment you’ll need to experience this incredible Arctic adventure at its best. This afternoon, continue to enjoy the resort at your own pace. Enjoy your last night in the heart of the Lappish wilderness, nestled in your incredible and unique glass igloo. You may even see the northern lights dancing overhead from the comfort of your own bed.

  6. 6

    Kakslauttanen - Helsinki

    Say goodbye to enchanting Lapland and fly back to Helsinki. Tonight, in downtown Helsinki, toast to grand adventures and new friends.

  7. 7

    Helsinki - Tour Ends

    Set out for home with incredible memories and a longing to return.

Travel at 60 Social Getaways

Travel further when you're not travelling alone

Our Social Getaways are small-group holidays designed especially for over-60s Australians who want the freedom of a great trip without the work of planning every detail. A Travel at 60 host travels with the group, the operator handles the logistics, and you get to focus on the bit that matters — the people, the places, and the stories you'll bring home.

Open to solo travellers too. Many of our travellers book on their own and find their feet quickly in a friendly group of like-minded Australians. Reduced single-supplement options are available on most departures — ask one of our consultants and we'll talk you through what's offered on this trip.

  • A friendly Travel at 60 host — an Australian face on the ground, looking out for the group from day one.
  • Curated local guides & boutique suppliers — the same operators we'd book for our own families.
  • Real itineraries, not whirlwind tours — comfortable transfers, breathing room, and the “off the beaten track” stops the big bus tours skip.

Want to talk it through? Call 1300 414 198 7 days a week, Queensland time, and one of our consultants will walk you through it.
