The tour includes a peaceful 400-meter sleigh ride, personal moments with the reindeer, and warm drinks and cookies by the fire—all led by knowledgeable local hosts who share information about reindeers and their way of life.
With small group sizes, a short travel distance from Rovaniemi, and winter clothing included, this experience is designed to be both hassle-free and memorable. Whether you're traveling with kids or on a tight schedule, this is one of the easiest and most heartwarming ways to connect with Lapland’s most iconic animals.
