Rovaniemi: Reindeer, Huskies & Santa Claus Village

1.Reindeer, Huskies & Santa Claus Village

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,543 reviews · from $213Our pick

Spend six hours with reindeer, Alaskan huskies, and Santa Claus Village. You will ride both sleds for 500 meters, learn about reindeer herding, eat salmon or vegetarian soup, and cross the Arctic Circle. English-speaking guides such as Aaron, Julia, and Josephine have led departures.

“The Reindeer farm was straight out of a winter wonderland. Absolutely loved the ambience. The salmon soup lunch was also really delicious. The guides were really nice and helpful. The transportation was also quite good. The only thing I felt could be better wsd if the husky sledging could be for longer. It was really short and did not last for more than a minute.”

“We loved the snow mobiles and it was nice to change drivers mid way round. It was also nice splitting into smaller groups so you don’t just follow in one big line directly behind the others as some are more cautious drivers. We loved having a bit of fun on them and being able to go faster at times. The children went behind the guide,Kevin Chow, but again he was great and they loved it! The reindeer ride was lovely and relaxing , being able to see the snowy scenery and take everything in. The husky ride was brilliant but in our opinion quite short. We were split into the…”
