- Northern Lights sightings cannot be guaranteed, as they depend on weather conditions and solar activity.
- Dress warmly for Arctic winter conditions. Thermal overalls are not included, so appropriate winter clothing is essential.
- The experience takes place outdoors and in natural winter conditions, and the programme may be adjusted when necessary due to weather, snow conditions or reindeer welfare.
- Children must be accompanied by an adult and should be dressed especially warmly for the sleigh ride.
- Please be ready at your designated pick-up point at the confirmed time.
- Reindeer are living animals, and their welfare and safety always come first. The pace and exact duration of the sleigh ride may therefore vary slightly.
