The entire tour was exceptionally well-organized, making for a seamless and enjoyable experience. Feeding the reindeer was a unique and memorable highlight, and learning about the rich traditions of the Sami people added depth to the visit. To keep us warm, cozy lavvu tents were set up, where we could relax with warm drinks, delicious cookies, and a hearty stew—available in both vegetarian and reindeer options. The attention to detail and hospitality made the experience even more special. Beyond just being an enjoyable activity, the tour served a meaningful purpose: raising awareness of Sami culture. This was done exceptionally well, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for their traditions and way of life. A truly enriching experience!

This was such a great excursion! The reindeer were cute and fun to feed, even if they were a little pushy (haha) we loved the sleigh ride! There was bottomless hot chocolate and cookies and then reindeer stew for lunch which was tasty. Definitely recommend!
