This was an incredible day! First and foremost, our guide was exceptionally kind, knowledgeable, and welcoming. From the moment we met her, we felt completely comfortable and knew we were in good hands. The reindeer farm was an absolute highlight for our family. We got to see baby reindeer and even enter the enclosures to feed the male reindeer some of their favorite treats. I was amazed by how gentle and calm these beautiful animals were. We never felt rushed and were given plenty of time to enjoy the experience at our own pace. The farm host was also wonderful. She shared fascinating information about reindeer, their role on the farm, and life in Finland. While we enjoyed hot beverages and cookies, she showed us antlers and answered our questions, making the visit both educational and enjoyable. After the farm visit, our guide took us to a beautiful lake for a canoeing adventure. We paddled around the stunning scenery for about an hour. While I would have happily spent a little more time on the water, it was a lovely experience. Once again, we never felt rushed, and our guide allowed our family to set the pace throughout the excursion. This tour was the perfect combination of nature, culture, and adventure. We would highly recommend it to anyone visiting Finland!

Enjoyable tour.
We had an amazing time. The reindeer were really cute. And drinking tea inside the yurt-like enclosure after feeding them was another highlight.

Reindeer farm and canoeing
The whole trip was an excellent experience and we would highly recommend it! At the reindeer farm, we had plenty of time in an enclosed area of the forest close to the gentle reindeer and were able to feed them lichen, which they love! After a coffee around the fire we enjoyed canoeing for about 1.5 hours on the lake, which was beautiful. Adrian was a fantastic attentive guide and we are very grateful to him and the the farm staff for making it such a memorable trip :)

Visit of reindeer farm and huski farm
We took part in a tour of a reindeer farm with sleigh ride, and visited a huski farm with a sleigh ride also with Wild About Lapland. Both experiences went very well: we were able to visit authentic farms, with friendly and patient guides, in small groups. We recommend!

Tolle Tour
The combination of visiting a reindeer farm and the canoe trip was perfect for us. First we went to the reindeer we could feed. The guide gave a lot of information about the farm and the animals. Then Turbine went on a canoe trip to the adjacent lake. Since we were the only two participants, we had the whole lake to ourselves. It was so relaxed and you could really enjoy nature. Overall a great tour.

Amazing!
If you do only one excursion in Rovaniemi this must be it. It was truly amazing. The reindeer farm was really informative and super interesting. The canoeing was mind bogglingly beautiful (20 Aug). Our guide, Gabor, was amazing and went above and beyond to make our experience one of the most memorable of our trip. Unforgettable.

A unique Finnish experience!
We had an awesome experience on this tour. Visiting an authentic Reindeer Farm and feeding lichen to reindeer with massive antlers was truly a once in a lifetime moment. And the peaceful canoe trip on the lake was breathtaking. Theo, our guide, was kind and knowledgeable and his love for nature really shined through. We enjoyed the small group setting and the snack and fire in the hut was a pleasant treat. I highly recommend booking this tour.

Great Lapland animal & nature experience
Feeding & seeing reindeer is delightful. We had plenty of time to take pictures, have fun with the reindeers, and ask questions. Later we went into a warm Kota and were offered tea/coffee and cookies, while the nice reindeer guide answered any remaining questions. Later we went to the lake, which was just nearby the reindeer farm - a very uncomplicated experience. Canoeing was very fun. It is even better if you are 2 persons and during Ruska (wonderful Autumn colors). Our guide was very nice and really exceeded our expectations. We can only recommend this tour! It is well worth the price.
