★★★★★★★★★★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…”

For instance, exactly this farm is the oldest in the region( 400 years) and you can see that the animals and people are treated with love there. In the farm the owner met us with his 2 beautiful dogs. Then we had a one-hour ride, by -30 it was cold but still manageable. The scenery of the landscape is magical, you are riding in caravan slowly through the forest. Super beautiful and magical experience. To touch reindeers isn’t allowed as they…”

What truly made the tour exceptional, was our guide Valeriia! She was absolutely amazing: incredibly knowledgeable about Finnish culture and the reindeer, warm, kind, and so efficient with time while never making the experience feel rushed. The group was small, which we loved. There were much larger groups at the same farm, but they didn’t get anywhere near the same level of 1:1 interaction with the reindeer that we did. It…”
