The ride itself was shorter than I’d hope but still really nice. Had some time to feed the reindeer afterwards which was nice. They are really well looked after which was great

This was one of the best experiences I've ever had! We were a very small group which made it very personal and our tour guide Anabella was extremely friendly and helpful. The reindeer farmer Jarrko was also very friendly and knowledgeable! He gave us an extra reindeer sleigh round as the weather was good, told us all about Sami people and their culture as well as how he hunts in the wild! We were given cookies and berry juice at a cozy lodge in the middle of a snowy forest and were allowed to hold and touch real reindeer antlers! We very much recommend doing this activity with this company!
