We enjoyed the trip even though the snow had melted to the point the we could not go sledding. The Sami guides did and excellent job of sharing their history and the reindeer were beautiful and friendly.

Be greeted by your host. Hop on a sled pulled by a reindeer and let your guide lead you on a magical sled ride through the snow. Make your way to the camp and feed the majestic reindeer herd of 300 animals. Gather inside the lavuu (Sami tent) for some warmth and a delicious traditional hot meal.

Absolutely great trip even though we couldn’t do the sledding. The feeding is amazing and you get plenty of time with the reindeer. The meal is nice and learning about Sami culture is very very interesting! Only negative is that the bus driver didn’t put the handbrake on properly when we arrived and the bus started rolling backwards. He managed to put it on to stop the bus but him and the guide thought this was funny and were laughing when they should have apologised.
