“The Reindeer farm was straight out of a winter wonderland. Absolutely loved the ambience. The salmon soup lunch was also really delicious. The guides were really nice and helpful. The transportation was also quite good. The only thing I felt could be better wsd if the husky sledging could be for longer. It was really short and did not last for more than a minute.”

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 940 reviews · 4.5 hours · from $281

Spend 4.5 hours in Finnish Lapland combining short husky and reindeer sleigh rides with an hour-long snowmobile safari. Guides such as Simon, Lia, Georgina, and Remi are praised for patient help, photos, and warm drinks. Winter clothing is supplied, and drivers can switch halfway through the snowmobile route.

“If you plan to do everything in one day, this is a good activity. I wished the husky ride was longer. The experience overall is good. It lets you do all the things you wanted to experience in Rovaniemi. Although the van was a little cramped for 8 persons, but overall, it was good for the price. I think they are the only ones that allow solo travelers to join the experience, since most of the rides are needed to be in pairs. Luckily, they paired me up with another solo traveler too.”

“We arrived perfectly on time at the meeting point, but we ended up waiting at least one hour, if not an hour and twenty minutes, for the bus that was supposed to take us to the husky farm. Eventually, the bus arrived and we departed. Once at the farm, no hot drinks were offered, despite this being clearly mentioned in the activity description. Also, not all the dogs were actually huskies, which was a bit confusing. There were a lot of people, and if you happen to be among the last groups for the sled ride, you don’t fully enjoy the experience. By that point, the dogs are understandably more…”
