A great trip - What a great trip! Loved every minute of it. Learnt so much about the Sami way of life. The lunch was tasty and feeding the reindeer was so enjoyable. We couldn’t do the sledding element of our trip as the ground was too icy, but we were refunded promptly for that, but it certainly didn’t detract from our visit. Really, really enjoyable day.

Superb discovery - The activity was great! The little sleigh ride pulled by the reindeer was very calming, as was feeding them. They're not too cuddly but when they put their heads in the food buckets, you can still feel their heads ^^ The drinks were good and hot, the stew was delicious! Finally, sharing about Sami culture around the fire was very pleasant and very interesting.
