Great for a first impression. The sleigh rides are very short, but the people are all the nicer and tell us a lot about the huskies and reindeer. Our guide was absolutely amazing. Super nice and funny. There are cookies and hot berry juice. The snowmobile tour was relatively slow for us, as a couple was being pulled behind by the guide on a sleigh because they didn't have a driver's license.

It was great to get information about reindeer, cute huskies, and experience Santa's village, which is unique to Finland. And thanks to our friendly guide, we were able to have a more pleasant day even though the weather was bad!

Everything was so good. It is one of the best experiences in my life. I strongly recommend you to get it. The company and all staff were helpful and welcoming. Thank you.

It was lovely although some places were closed because it’s off season but it was so nice and cute!

My friends and I really enjoyed this activities. Was an amazing experience!!
