What I loved most about this experience was that it was a small group and it felt like a very authentic experience, not overly touristy. Our guide was so nice, and the day was very well structured. It didn’t feel rushed. Getting to interact with the reindeer and learn about the Sami culture was so special! And the islands we visited were so beautiful.

It was a great experience. Although we faced a bad weather, our tour guide could find a good place to take a picture. He provided us with thermal suit so everyone was comfortable and warmth with the weather. It was nice experience in feeding the rain deer and got to know sami culture. The lunch was good. Really recommend this tour.
