- Kurivaarantie 203 - This activity gives you the opportunity to get “up close and personal” with the reindeer. How can you get up close? Reindeer rides offer a unique, eco-friendly way to explore at a gentle pace. This is a magical experience. They’re ideal for both adults and children as the slow speed means you can really appreciate your surroundings, Lappish nature too. Alternatively, visiting local farm and herder is on one of our favorite things in this tour.
And finally Sitting around the fire on a warm base of reindeer skins is a magical experience and the perfect setting to learn more about reindeers from your guide, while your coffee is served next to the fire.

Fun Reindeer Experience in Rovaniemi - Reindeer Farm was a hit with kids and adults alike. We were picked up at our hotel at the designated time and driven to the farm where we were able to see a large herd of reindeer at feeding time as well as get up close and personal with a few. Everyone was then given the opportunity to take a sleigh ride. There was a frozen lake right next to the sleigh rides were everyone had a great time playing in the snow and taking photos while they waited for their turn. After the sleigh rides, we were taken to sit by a camp fire to have a hot beverage and hear history and information about the reindeer of Finland. Perfect Rovaniemi experience!

Soo much fun! - This experience was so much fun! The tour guide was accommodating, knowledgeable, and helpful. He voluntarily took lots of pictures of me which I really appreciated as a solo traveler. I enjoyed seeing all the reindeer, the sleigh ride, learning about the reindeer, and the cozy fire and snacks. I enjoyed this so much. 10/10 recommend! Kittos!

Wonderful worthwhile authentic experience - Highly recommend this tour. It is authentic and such a special experience. You learn a lot of interesting things about reindeer and reindeer farming and even get to enjoy a lovely sleigh ride. A highlight afterwards is having warm berry juice and biscuits around a wood fire. The tour guide was excellent and really friendly. Andrea who collected us from the tour company was lovely and so generous offering to take photos for us during the trip. There's also gorgeous scenery on the journey to the farm. We so enjoyed it, was a definite highlight for us. Don't miss out!

Really good activity to go with children - They came to pick us up to the Santa Claus Village. The guide was really nice and she was all the time taking care of the two families that were part of the activity. It was important because we were not the only group in the farm. Additionally she shared with us really good information about reindeers and also the surroundings that was a plus.

Interesting visit - The visit to the farm is interesting. The beautiful farm, in a beautiful place next to a frozen lake. The interesting explanations are made in English but our guide translates if necessary.
Afterwards there is a short sleigh ride, I personally was left wanting more, if what you are looking for is a brief experience this excursion is great, if you want more sledding better the long one, which is surely just as good but with a longer ride long since if not, this one falls short.
Thank Alex our guide for his good work. He caught us one day when we were close to -25ºC and we were going with a five-year-old girl who was not very comfortable, he was constantly worried about her being okay, getting blankets or whatever was necessary. Thanks Alex.
