Had a wonderful time at the reindeer farm. We were able to pet and feed the reindeer. Our guide Jenna gave us some interesting information and prepared us for the ride. The ride itself was magical! It’s not every day that you are able to ride a reindeer sleigh thru the gorgeous snow capped forest. After half an hour we returned and entered the warm hut where we had hot drinks and homemade pastries. Jenna then answered some questions. Thank you Jenna and everyone at the farm! Had a great time!

From making the booking via email to Anu, the visit, feeding the baby reindeer, the sleigh ride & hearing the stories about life of herders, heritage & reindeers was a unique experience.

From the we go down from our coach and take a walk towards the farm we are welcome by one of the staff to give us briefing and pracautions when riding in a Reindeer sledge. As we waited for our turn we enjoy playing in the snow. The reindeer sledge is fine. Its a short ride and not very fast as the husky ride. And we just had a one round of ride. After that we are given a chance to enter the ranch to feed the reindeer. Its having been with the reindeer inside the ranch but they are sensitive to be touch and any loud sounds reindeer don't like it. And the best part of being here aside from the activities is the progarm and story they prepared during dinner, the food are so nice. Taste really a local food here we are given again a reindeer soup! And a license to drive a reindeer. It's really full of fun to be here.

Dear Sheila,
thanks for your time to write a review and description of your program. You were taking a part of a "Wondeful North" including many attractions and experiences in one package. We are so glad that during your tour, you stopped by also at our reindeer farm. We are also happy to hear that you liked our reindeer soup lunch. Now you can say that you really have tasted something very local. We hope that there are plenty of good memories of your Arctic tour and we will see you one day again. Hugs for you! Kind regards, Anu

We had the 1 hour tour which was so nice to be in the peaceful, winter scenery. The guide was very friendly and explained a lot about the reindeer life. After the tour we could warm next to the fire and have coffee with the typical Finnish pastry. Lovely visit!
