Important Information – Please Read Before Booking
Please note that we don’t have any tourist attractions or artificial setups – instead, we offer authentic, real-life experiences in the wilderness, surrounded by a free-ranging, semi-wild reindeer herd.
But don’t worry – your safety is our priority. You’ll be in the hands of experienced local experts who will take good care of you throughout the tour.
What to expect:
During the tour, you’ll ride in a sleigh pulled by a snowmobile for 1–5 kilometers through snowy forest trails. There will also be a short walk in the snow at the reindeer site – moving a little helps keep you warm in the cold weather!
Dress code:
You must wear proper winter clothing, including warm boots, gloves, a hat, and layered winter gear. We are unable to take guests into the wilderness unless they are dressed appropriately for the weather conditions.
Our temperature limit for tours is -30°C (-22°F). If it’s colder than that, the tour will be cancelled for safety reasons and you’ll receive a full refund.
The reindeer farm is located about an hour’s drive from the Rovaniemi city centre.
