Highland travel agents announce special Christmas trip to Lapland to meet Santa with direct day flight from Inverness Airport
A local travel agency has announced they will organise a special day trip to meet Santa - with a direct flight from Inverness Airport.
With a return day flight connecting the Highland capital to Rovaniemi in Finland — hailed as the official home of Santa Claus — the day trip set up by Murray Travel is open for booking - with the date announced being December 13, 2025.
The Lapland day trip (priced at £649 per child and £699 per adult) will include a variety of experiences, including husky rides and a visit to Santa Claus Village in the Arctic Circle.
Scott and Sarah Murray, the husband-and-wife team behind Murray Travel, said they are thrilled to bring this opportunity to the Highlands.
“This is something we’ve wanted to do for a long time,” Scott said.
“Lapland is a bucket-list destination for so many families, and now they can experience it with ease—flying directly from Inverness, making the most of their time in this magical place.”
Sarah Murray added: “We’re so excited to be able to bring a direct Lapland trip to the Highlands, and we hope this is just the start. We have lots of ideas for future routes from Inverness, and we can’t wait to see what’s next!”
They said having a direct flight to Lapland is a first for Inverness.
Graeme Bell, Inverness Airport general manager, said: "We’re thrilled to partner with Murray Travel to bring this magical Lapland experience directly from Inverness airport this December. It’s a truly unforgettable adventure for families, offering the chance to meet Santa, enjoy exhilarating winter activities, and explore the stunning Arctic landscapes. It’s going to be an incredible day."
