What To Expect

Your guide will drive you in a small group to one of the most traditional reindeer farms in Lapland located outside of Rovaniemi on the shores of a peaceful lake. As you are taken in by the surroundings, the herders will teach you about the reindeer, show you their farm and you will be given a chance to feed the reindeers their favourite food, lichen! The visit will end with a friendly chat around the fire in the company of a herder who will answer all your questions and share their passion with you. After this great time with the reindeer, you will be introduced to the canoes. Your qualified guide will provide you with all the safety instructions needed - how to use the paddles, how to move on water and steer your canoe, how to react if capsizing, etc. Your guide will always keep an eye on you, and will come to your aid if you are in need of help. While paddling, you will feel the peacefulness of the nature surrounding you, and will fully enjoy the beauty of this place. At the end of this combination activity, you will for sure feel satisfied - you will have learnt about traditional reindeer farming and how to handle a canoe!

We had an amazing time. The reindeer were really cute. And drinking tea inside the yurt-like enclosure after feeding them was another highlight.

The whole trip was an excellent experience and we would highly recommend it! At the reindeer farm, we had plenty of time in an enclosed area of the forest close to the gentle reindeer and were able to feed them lichen, which they love! After a coffee around the fire we enjoyed canoeing for about 1.5 hours on the lake, which was beautiful. Adrian was a fantastic attentive guide and we are very grateful to him and the the farm staff for making it such a memorable trip :)

We took part in a tour of a reindeer farm with sleigh ride, and visited a huski farm with a sleigh ride also with Wild About Lapland. Both experiences went very well: we were able to visit authentic farms, with friendly and patient guides, in small groups. We recommend!

The combination of visiting a reindeer farm and the canoe trip was perfect for us. First we went to the reindeer we could feed. The guide gave a lot of information about the farm and the animals. Then Turbine went on a canoe trip to the adjacent lake. Since we were the only two participants, we had the whole lake to ourselves. It was so relaxed and you could really enjoy nature. Overall a great tour.
Amazing!

If you do only one excursion in Rovaniemi this must be it. It was truly amazing. The reindeer farm was really informative and super interesting. The canoeing was mind bogglingly beautiful (20 Aug). Our guide, Gabor, was amazing and went above and beyond to make our experience one of the most memorable of our trip. Unforgettable.
A great experience with this agency in ROVANIEMI

We had an awesome experience on this tour. Visiting an authentic Reindeer Farm and feeding lichen to reindeer with massive antlers was truly a once in a lifetime moment. And the peaceful canoe trip on the lake was breathtaking. Theo, our guide, was kind and knowledgeable and his love for nature really shined through. We enjoyed the small group setting and the snack and fire in the hut was a pleasant treat. I highly recommend booking this tour.
Great Lapland animal & nature experience

Feeding & seeing reindeer is delightful. We had plenty of time to take pictures, have fun with the reindeers, and ask questions. Later we went into a warm Kota and were offered tea/coffee and cookies, while the nice reindeer guide answered any remaining questions. Later we went to the lake, which was just nearby the reindeer farm - a very uncomplicated experience. Canoeing was very fun. It is even better if you are 2 persons and during Ruska (wonderful Autumn colors). Our guide was very nice and really exceeded our expectations. We can only recommend this tour! It is well worth the price.

Our experience with Wild About Lapland was nothing short of amazing. Highly recommend for families! We started off at the reindeer farm where we got to feed the animals before heading for a hot beverage by the fire. Right after, we headed for the lake and were absolutely impressed with the strong attention to safety of our guide, Theo! Don’t miss this incredible experience! I promise you it will remain one of your most memorable family travels experience ever!
