Meet your guide in Inari at 10 a.m. for a small-group day built around Sámi culture and Arctic life. Visit Siida Museum, practice outdoor skills, eat a local lunch beside a fire, then feed and pet reindeer at the Airamo farm. Guide Sonja is praised for her warm, informed approach.

“Guide had many interesting things to tell. The museum covers Sami culture with some amazing art, clothes and tools. It also teaches you about the local nature throughout the seasons with beautiful pictures. We ate a delicious creamy soup by the campfire next to a river rapid. Then we learned about reindeer, which we also were allowed to pet and feed. Dress warmly, because you will be outside a lot.”
