Very well organized tour, plenty of time to feed the reindeer, the sled is fun, too. Beautiful scenery. Authentic Sami tents available with fire, tea, coffee and cookies, as well as lunch. Highly recommend.
We absolutely loved this...

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.
Pretty expensive for what you’re getting!

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.
Great Sami stories, poor organization.

The location is nice, overall the experience is cool. The history of the Sami and stories were very interesting. However, the organization of the company is bad. I was tempted to give less of a review because of this. They were not very communicative, they did not explain what we needed to do, we could barely hear anything as they didnt seem to care enough. When we arrived we were not sure if we were feeding the reindeer first or going on the reindeer sled. They really didnt seem to care about anything they just responded, sure. The food was very good and the Sami stories made it worth it, the Sami history and stories were great and the Sami telling the stories as well. After everything was done there was a snowstorm and it was freezing, they were rushing us saying that the bus was ready, but then let us stand waiting freezing in the storm for over 10 mts, we could have left the warm camp when the bus was actually there, as it took less than 2 minutes to walk to it. Just again awful organization. Unfortunately, next time I would use another company, nothing againts the Sami owners more on the company "organizing it".
