This family-friendly excursion from Rovaniemi includes a reindeer sled ride and the opportunity to meet and feed the reindeer! Welcoming adventurers ages 4 and up.

Located in Northern Finland (Finnish Lapland), Rovaniemi is renowned for its breathtaking Arctic wilderness and as the official hometown of Santa Claus. If you're searching for a relaxing, educational, and fun-filled excursion for all ages, this reindeer farm visit is for you!

Your adventure begins at one of the listed locations in Rovaniemi (please specify when booking), where you'll be greeted by your professional photographer guide. You and your group (a maximum of 8 people) will depart for the scenic 35-minute drive to the reindeer farm. Upon your arrival, you'll put on your winter gear (warm clothing and boots) and will be greeted by your hosts, a reindeer herding family who have been practising this livelihood at their traditional farm for over 5 generations.

To start, you'll be taken on a tour of the farm and will have the opportunity to meet and feed the adorable reindeer. Then, after a safety briefing, you'll head out into the snow-covered landscapes of Finnish Lapland on a 2 km (1 mile) reindeer sled ride. Your professional photography guide will take 10-15 photos of you enjoying the moment, a great souvenir! After the ride, you'll be treated to coffee, hot chocolate, or tea and delicious freshly made crepes in a traditional Lappish Kota building. Your hosts will share fascinating facts and stories about reindeer herding and its importance in the cultural fabric of Lapland. A wonderful way to end this unique tour! You'll return to the original departure point in Rovaniemi with lifelong memories.
