5.00This was an experience of a lifetime! Did not expect that I would learn so much about the Sami people and that we would enjoy the reindeer as much as we did. The host were gracious and informative! This is quite possibly the best tour we have ever done!
Great location to learn about Sami Culture and meet reindeer

5.00We had a great time feeding the reindeer, learning about the Sami culture, and partaking on the scenic sled ride! When we visited it hadn't snowed in a while, so 15min ride was more than enough, but if the weather is beautiful and there are snow on the ground, 30min ride could be a great deal!
Great comforting and informative experience

5.00Loved the experience with the reindeers and the ride was amazing. The culture was well explained and feels good to know that our trip helps to directly support the reindeers and the Sami community, which is cultural and spiritual.
Very enjoyable day

5.00Unfortunately the sledding part of the trip was cancelled due to the weather but that couldn’t be helped and it was still a great day. We enjoyed feeding the reindeer and learning more about the Sami culture in a really cosy lavu.
