What To Expect
This journey begins at a local reindeer farm right on the outskirts of the city of Rovaniemi, but deep enough to be entrenched in the forest. Meet many reindeers including the cute little ones and have many opportunities for fantastic pictures. Experience the old-school way to travel by sled in the Arctic Circle and imagine what it must feel like for Santa to be pulled by reindeers. A safe trail will be followed which has been built and maintained by the reindeer herders themselves. You as the riding guests will be laid down in the sleigh and covered by warm blankets. Enjoy the Arctic Lapland’s beautiful scenery by reindeer sledding. Afterwards, be welcomed to the farmer’s house for snacks and warm drinks understanding why most Northern men have full facial hair just like good ol’ Mr. Santa Claus!

5.00We visited the reindeer farm today with our family (2 adults, 2 kids), and it was an amazing experience! Paula, our driver and guide, was absolutely wonderful – attentive, caring, and professional throughout the visit. She made sure that even during a simple but heartwarming activity like feeding and petting the animals, our family could truly enjoy the moments together. A huge thank you to Paula and the whole organizing team for making this such a memorable and well-coordinated experience. Highly recommended!

5.00everything was well organized. Pick-up at our house (in the center of Rovaniemi) at the correct time. Nice people who welcomed us. Beautiful nature-experience. And afterwards a lot of explanation about the reindeers. This was both a great experience and very informative too. Our son, who is physically disabled joined the trip. This was not a problem at all.

1.00No fun, no client orientation Due to unexpeted CoronaTravel restrictions we had to postpone our trip and kindly ask for a refund or rebooking possibility. Also a finnish friend called then on our behalf. Only hard business interest or rather ripping off people in an unfavorable situation was the outcome. Avoid sunny Safari!
Too touristy and unclear

1.00This was too touristy. Maybe the tour guide had arranged it well, but for us as tourists it was not clear what we would do when. In the description it was described that we would also learn to throw lasso. None of this came back during the tour, as far as this was a tour.
Brilliant authentic reindeer farm

5.00Picked up on time, brought to a beautiful reindeer farm, we chose the long ride, it was chilly as your not moving whilst being pulled on sleigh so pack hand warmers!! Then taken to a log fire hut, given hot juice and biscuits and ride home. It was stunning! Well worth a visit!
