2.Late Night Ride with Finnhorses

★★★★★★★★★★4.7 · 32 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $159

Ride a native Finnhorse for 30 minutes through the forest near Santa Claus Village, then gather by a fire for warm juice, snacks, and Lapland stories. Guides such as Marie, Ela, and Katherine have been praised for their friendly help. Expect a small group of no more than five people.

“Pour moi, le rapport qualité prix n’y est pas. Cela ne vaut pas son prix pour 20-25 minutes de balade à cheval, et un petit café autour d’un feu.. Le prix correct serait de moitié prix selon moi, et à ce prix là ça serait acceptable. Peut-être ajouter brossage des chevaux, nourrissage … quelque chose de plus complet. Néanmoins, le personnel est adorable, et les filles sont très gentilles.”
