Our hosts were incredibly welcoming. We appreciated having so much time to both feed the reindeer and warm up when needed. The food was delicious, and we loved learning about Sámi culture and history! My favorite part was the joiking (traditional Sámi singing). I highly recommend this experience!
A Charming Experience

We absolutely loved this tour! The reindeer were friendly and ready for you to feed them. The sledding portion was my favorite part, in addition to the hot soup and Sami culture.
The best tour - we loved it

We absolutely loved our Sami guide and all the reindeer. The reindeer were extremely friendly and photogenic : ) Our Sami guide told wonderful stories and answered all our questions and was so unbelievably patient with the rude visitor that answered a phone call from the front row and kept talking!!!
Highly recommended.

This was a lot more fun than we expected. You get to go very close to the reindeer (abt 300 of them) and interact with them by feeding them. The setting is beautiful. The reason why this herd is here in winter is cos the reindeer need to be fed during winter in recent times cos of ice layers. So this is a way to preserve the reindeer herd which is part of the Sami culture. The Sami culture talk and food were interesting and were really well delivered. I learnt something!
Just amazing! ✨

Very different than what I expected. The reindeer sled ride was barely 15 minutes. Feeding the reindeer was nice. The bus driver who drove us was really rude. Overall, pretty expensive for what you’re getting.
Great experience

Such great experience! Love feeding the reindeers and getting to know more about Sami culture. The sledding is also nice but the feeding was my favorite part. I strongly recommend it.
