5.00It was a unique experience for both of us; we participated in the recruitment of reindeer animals, where we were HELT close to the animals and got a good feeling of the work as a cleaner. The guide/host was present and told about his life as a fellow with reindeer farming and about the life of his parents, supplemented by photos. We drove reindeer leather and ended with a nice Sami meal and a good talk at the fire in the cottage.
Charming

5.00Experienced getting close to the animals. We participated in feeding. Nice ride with the slide and fun yourself to drive. We finished with delicious Sami food prepared over fire. Frederik was good at telling about the Sami lifestyle and also came around the climate challenges. All in all really good day in good company far out in the woods.
Highly recommended trip

5.00This was a wonderful excursion from Kiruna. Frederick was very welcoming and had so much knowledge to share about his culture and we had an enjoyable time feeding the reindeer and sledding with them before a tent-cooked dinner of reindeer pitas.
Fun, exciting and educational excursion.

5.00An incredibly fun day with all the reindeer. We learned a lot about reindeer husbandry and were there when the reindeer were fed. We rode on the snowmobile and fed the reindeer. We also had to drive the reindeer sled ourselves, which was very fun. We ended the day with coffee and reindeer leaves by the open fire in the hut. Very good reindeer clip and nice atmosphere. Magnus who owns the reindeer was very good at telling about life with reindeer. Both in English and Swedish. We are so happy with our day. Highly recommend this excursion.
Absolutely unique experience

5.00We had a fantastic time with Frederik, the Sámi herder. We shared his daily activities with the reindeer herd, and we learnt to ride a sledge. It was a lot of adrenaline and an unforgettable experience! Frederik also supplied us with a lot of interesting information about the Sámi life, and about the reindeer and their relationship with the environment.
