Pleasant walk with reindeer (we are 2/sled dragged by a reindeer. Each reindeer is attached to the front sled. The first reindeer is held by a rope by the healers who walk next door). They are happy to share their knowledge and answer questions. On arrival we were able to give lichen (treats++) to the reindeer. Then we could warm up in a teepee around a fire with hot juice and cookies. And here again nice exchange with the caregivers. The reindeer park looks clean and the reindeer look well cared for.

NOT RECOMMENDED I would not recommend stay Lapland for this activity. We booked from them and were disappointed. When we check in there were no proper briefing about how things will be processed and when we asked our guide he said it his first day hence he has no idea what needs to be done. They drove us at the point which was almost 30 min drive and we waited for another 30 min in the TP. The ride was less than 5 min and not worth at all. We didnt even get to click the picture with Reindeer. It was highly commercial and simply waste of time and money.
It was a great experience, we took the full day excursion with Husky and reindeer with lunch included, while preparing in the morning the message came that due to the intense cold (-30) the ride would be shorter and initially I was a bit 'sorry, but my concerns disappeared when we met Alessia an Italian girl who explained the importance that the Finns have in the welfare of reindeer. We started our day in a mini van we sat in front and enjoyed the trip while we went to the farm about 2 hours from Rovaniemi and already the trip was exciting all completely white with sunlight starting to show up, once we arrived we made the sleigh ride and once finished they made us feed the reindeer, there is always a fire lit to keep warm all the participants of the activity, for lunch there was salmon soup (delicious) and butter bread, but Alessia was so cute to bring even cookies and marshmallows to roast on the fire. After lunch we went sledding with the Huskies and it was just great, the dogs run fast and the cold is felt but the forest we stayed in also makes the cold pass, it was magical, unfortunately I have no photos because at the height of the lake we reached -34 and take out the phone to make a short video was impossible, but at the same time we enjoyed the experience with our own eyes and just like children were full of wonder. At the end of the sleigh ride we petted the dogs that are very sociable jump on you and love cuddles, we were quite cold after the ride because the Huskies run fast and also in this case the professionalism of Alessia was not lacking, she warmed us herself by putting her hands in the heat of the fire and then transfer them to our feet and make us regain sensitivity. I will remember this day forever.
We did a combined huskies and reindeer activity and the experience was great. We went as a family with two young children and enjoyed it very much. Our guide Andoni treated us great. As part of improving would indicate the clothes they lend, is not in very good condition, and in the reindeer part we would have liked to be with our two children but when going 4 adults separated us 2 adults with 1 child, and did not let us sit 1 child and 1 adult. In the huskies if it was the four of us together.
very good guide , en very good and safe transport , excelent service with warm cloaths , en assom experiance with the Huskys and raideer
Chula snowed us and it was a nice experience, inside the bad is that the reindeer are very scared but let us touch one of them
Reindeers were just amazing, we were even able to pet one. The weather was amazing it looked as it was golden hour all the time. We were given some hot drinks and cookies near the fire and could listen to interesting stories.
An amazing experience to a family run reindeer farm in a beautiful location. We were picked up and dropped off from our accommodation which made the experience so much easier for us with 3 young children. The driver was very helpful and friendly. The reindeer farm provided a huge amount of very interesting information and were very accommodating to our needs with the children. I would highly recommend this company.
What a fantastic experience we had, the company was very good, the protective clothing was excellent, the guide was fabulous, she went above and beyond in our trip, explaining things, taking photos for us, making sure we were warm after the ride and took us back to the hotel, there was a hiccup in timing but the company were very good in fixing things and even helped us get to the train station in the end. I highly recommend this tour and this tour company
