The activity was INCREDIBLE. Everything was perfect. We took a bus ride for about 30 minutes to get to the reindeer "farm". We started with an introduction by the fire, then we fed the reindeer before going for a sleigh ride. We also had hot drinks and cookies available by the fire. We were lucky enough to have the Northern Lights for over 3 hours all around us. Then we ate a typical meal which was very very good. And finally we finished with the Sami’s story and « songs » around the fire. It was SUPER. All the guides were very kind, attentive and welcoming. I recommend everyone to do this excursion!

This was the most amazing experience that I have had. It was a short bus ride. Feeding the reindeer was something I will never forget. Next the sleigh ride, we were in a fur lined sleigh. Once all that is done we headed into the food hall hut. I had the reindeer stew which was great. The Sami stories were great to hear. I would highly recommend this experience.

Meeting the reindeer’s and feeding them was great! They give you as much food as you want to feed them with. Food was okay. The sleigh ride was a little disappointing as it’s just a walk pulled around by the guide, however if that’s what you’re looking for or have little ones then perfect. Despite that, the Sami guides were amazing, so lovely and funny! It was very interesting to learn all about their culture which really went above my expectations. Lovely views from the field as well. I hadn’t heard of the Sami culture before and wasn’t really fussed about that aspect of the trip, but I’m so glad we went and it was definitely one of the highlights!
