Reindeer Excursions in Lapland

Reindeers are famously gentle creatures, despite their stature and are a peaceful way to see Lapland. Local people have worked with reindeer for many generations and they are a part of the locals way of life.

Our animal winter excursions are designed so that you have the best possible Lapland experience. Choose between three Reindeer rides for your Lapland holiday. Our excursions with all these wonderful animals will help you capture the magic and create lasting memories of this amazing place.

Time with the reindeers is certainly special, whether you want to say hello or you take a sleigh ride with them - it is worth taking the time to slow down and enjoy them as well as your surroundings.

Our excursions are added extras you can book as part of your Lapland holiday.

What’s included in our Reindeer rides:

Reindeer Discovery and Adventure

Visiting a local reindeer farm gives you an evocative picture of the traditional lifestyle, in which reindeer play a central part. You will hear great stories from your hosts and learn all about the reindeer, including their fondness for mushrooms.

Ride in a reindeer sleigh through the snowy fells and forests, which feels as if you have entered the secret world of Narnia through a magic wardrobe. At least until your reindeer decides to pause for a snack on some tasty lichen under the snow... some do have a stubborn streak.

Either way, you can get close to one of our (and Santa’s) favourite animals - something not to be missed!

Reindeer Herding Experience and Picnic

You now have truly a special, once in a lifetime chance to experience something only very few in the world have - immerse yourself in the world of authentic reindeer herding lifestyle!

Experience the dozens of gentle reindeer coming to you - feed them from your hand, take pictures and videos with hundreds of them surrounding you from all sides.

Afterwards, enjoy the warmth of a campfire whilst grilling homemade sausages or having sandwiches. Have a cup of coffee or tea and just relax. That’s what the reindeer herding experience is all about!
