1.Reindeer, Huskies & Santa Claus Village

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 1,543 reviews · from $213Our pick

Spend six hours with reindeer and Alaskan huskies, including two 500-meter sleigh rides, a warm soup lunch, and free time at Santa Claus Village. English-speaking guides handle transport and winter clothing. Children under 150 centimeters also get a 10-minute mini-snowmobile ride.

“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.”

3.Snowmobile Safari, Reindeer & Husky Sleigh Ride

★★★★★★★★★★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.”
