Reindeer and Husky Experience – approximately 4 hours

Your guide will drive you in a very small group to one of the most traditional reindeer farms in Lapland. The families of herders are based just outside of Rovaniemi on the lovely shores of a peaceful lake, and they provide the best experience possible when it comes to both knowledge and service.

You will learn about the reindeers, be shown around the farm and, because it is the first visit of the day, you will be given a chance to feed them their favourite food, lichen, which to reindeer is like chocolate! The visit will end with time around the fire with a herder who will answer all your questions.

After this, your guide will take you to the husky kennel to meet the excited dogs. The mushers will greet you at their farm, so will the barking of their lovely huskies. The mushers will explain their lifestyle, what the job of a musher consists of, how they train their dogs and answer all your questions. You will spend time with the dogs and cuddle them. Summer is also the period when they have their puppies!

At the end of this trip, you will get back to Rovaniemi with a great insight of two very iconic arctic animals!

This excursion is limited to 8 people maximum. It’s very important to provide you with the best experience as possible, and avoid mass tourism. This way, your guide will know you better and have the time to answer your questions. Our partners based on ethical and responsible principles, to promote a more authentic and respectful tourism in Lapland.
