If you want to experience the true magic of Lapland away from the crowds, this special winter tour is the perfect choice. We take care of everything for you, starting at our Rovaniemi office where we provide high-quality thermal clothing to keep you warm and comfortable. From there, we drive you to the historic reindeer farm, an authentic family-run farm hidden in the beautiful snowy forest.

The highlight of your tour is a peaceful 2.5 km reindeer sleigh ride. Wrapped in warm blankets, you glide through the quiet forest for 30 to 40 minutes and enjoy the beautiful winter scenery. Afterwards you visit the warm, traditional main house, where you can relax with hot drinks, cookies and a fresh bun while local herders share fascinating stories about their daily life and traditions. You will have plenty of time to take great photos with the reindeer and receive your official Reindeer Driving License.
