Why We choose this partner and Activity
We’ve chosen this partner for their small-group visits, limited to just eight guests, and the chance to spend time on a working reindeer farm with the farmers themselves. Meeting the herd and walking alongside the reindeer through the forest offers a personal glimpse into their daily life. The small group creates a quieter, more intimate experience at a regular group-tour price, without needing to book a private visit.
A Visit to a Traditional Reindeer Farm
Leave the city behind and travel to a reindeer farm approximately 35 minutes north of Rovaniemi. Surrounded by forest, the farm offers a quiet setting to meet Lapland’s iconic animals and learn about the people who care for them.
During your visit, you’ll meet and feed the reindeer, with time to take photographs and observe them up close. Your English-speaking guide, who comes from a reindeer-herding family, will share stories about daily life on the farm, the animals’ habits and the place of reindeer herding in Lapland’s traditions.
Hot Drinks Around the Fire
After meeting the animals, enjoy hot chocolate, coffee or tea with snacks beside an outdoor fire or inside a warm, traditional Finnish kota. Take a break, ask questions and hear more about life on the farm before heading out for your walk.
Walk with Your Own Reindeer
Follow a quiet forest route with your own reindeer walking beside you. The gentle pace gives you time to enjoy the snowy surroundings and get to know your walking companion.
This small-group experience combines time with the animals, local stories and a relaxed walk in nature. After approximately two hours at the farm, your transfer takes you back to Rovaniemi city centre.
