Reindeer are beautiful creatures!!

Personally it was wonderful to meet the reindeer, they are beautiful creatures!!! Nature around is beautiful! I would just prefer to bypass the sled part, I would just prefer the experience of watching and being close!!!

Wonderful quick experience!

This is for someone who wants to get a taste of a reindeer farm! Yes the reindeer ride is short, but the experience was amazing! Especially since we got to feed them and have warm juice with cookies after while we learned about reindeer history! Recommend for families with small children and all ages!

A beautiful moment of sharing

A wonderful experience!!! We met a traditional reindeer herder who led us through the forest to his herd. What a beautiful moment to discover these animals so peaceful and what a good time shared with this charming breeder who offered us a warm berry juice by the fire in a shelter. A special thank you to our escort Maiju for her kindness, professionalism and smile!!!

Avoid if possible

Ultra short sleigh ride, a lot of waiting because too many people at the same time, cold and industrial atmosphere We don't see enough reindeer, we don't take enough advantage of their presence

Small discovery of a reindeer farm

What a dream! Go to Lapland. to Rovaniemi more exactly and visit a reindeer farm! Arrived on time , as requested precisely in the email , we wait 45 minutes without explanation before we are transported by bus to this farm. We are divided into 2 groups of about fifteen people. Quick explanations of the operation of the farm and the reindeer lifestyle , by a young man dressed in traditional dress , tasting a hot juice and cupcakes (10mn max). Reindeer sleigh ride 5mn. And reindeer feeding 5/10 minutes. The trip lasts 45 minutes no more! The kids love it! In the end this remains the main thing

Could do better

Arrived on time but waited 45 minutes for the transport to bring us to the reindeer farm. Once we reached the farm, the sled ride was interesting and fun for sure, and we did get to pet the reindeer’s as well as feed them. Afterwards, we were brought into a traditional hut and were given warm drinks which were appreciated, however the actual portion where we were told fun facts and information about the reindeers lasted for at most 10 minutes. Once done, we waited nearly half an hour for transport back to the city. All in all, we had lots of idle and waiting time whilst the actual tour lasted for at most 45 minutes. Not sure if this is the same for other reindeer tours but the ones I experienced in Tromso were much better.

Must try!

We just love it! Sled ride was cozy and nice. After it, we feed some reindeer and take photos with them. Then we get some cookies and warm drink and listen storys about reindeers.
