I had a wonderful time experiencing the amazing reindeer and their keepers, the Sami indigenous community. We went on a sled trip with the animals. This was very fun and easy going. Afterwards we went to a hut, had refreshments and had a conversation with several members of the Sami tribe.
Dear friends, Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed your time with the amazing reindeer and had such a memorable experience with the Sami community. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you again for another unforgettable adventure! Best regards, Kate Easy Travel Team
The tour started with a timely pickup and a short drive to the family farm. We were given warm clothing and introduced to the reindeers and allocated one each with a sledge. It was a lovely 40 odd minute ride through the forest with fascinating views in the snow. A quiet and meditative ride. On returning to the farm we fed the deer that had pulled us and then went in for some hot chocolate and cake... very yummy and welcome. A short question and answer session with the owner's daughter and then back for the return trip. A very well organised and professional set-up. Would highly recommend.

It was a great experience! To our luck, it was very sunny so the reindeer ride was extra enjoyable. All the family members of the farm and all the rest of the employees were very sweet and helpful. After the ride, the hot chotolate/coffee and cake was just what we needed! And the q&a about the reindeers was very informative. We enjoyed the experience a lot!

So thankful for extra winter clothes. They kept me cozy during the beautiful ride. Our host and hostess were very informative, teaching us about reindeer and Finnish history 😊

Lieber Martin! Wir freuen uns sehr, dass Sie Ihre Freude an einer Hirschsafari in Lappland haben! Ihr positives Feedback ist die beste Belohnung für unsere Arbeit! Wir freuen uns, Sie wieder im fabelhaften Lappland zu sehen!
Today’s adventure was proudly sponsored by a reindeer safari 🦌 We arrived at a local reindeer farm where the Sami family introduced us to the reindeers. After a few polite sniffs and “yes, you may admire us” looks, we climbed into the sleigh and set off for an adventure through the candy cane forest. This was definitely giving Christmas vibes! After an hour’s safari, we headed back to the farm, where we were allowed to feed the reindeers, this is when the reindeer suddenly remembered exactly who we were and why we mattered! Cold hands and toes soon followed, so we were rescued and invited into the Sami family’s home. There we got a fascinating talk about Sami culture, reindeer farming, and reindeer life in general, all while warming up with homemade cake and hot chocolate. All in all, an utterly magical experience and one of those days that will live in your memory forever.
