“Absolutely loved the farm experience. It exceeded our expectations. The family annd staff were wonderful. It made us feel good knowing our experience directly helped raise funds for the family farmers rather. Our driver and guide, Elena was exceptional and gave us guidance on the local area which we really appreciated. If you’re looking for an authentic experience, I highly recommend booking this one. Booking was called - Rovaniemi: Authentic Reindeer Farm Visit & Short Sleigh Ride.”

“We absolutely loved it all. Visiting at the begging of April was a little risk as many activity providers are closing or limiting tours, but this was a great find for our family. We have two kids : age four and age six, they both loved pancake and hot chocolate at the warm teepee , feeding reindeers was so cute. We love getting close to nature!”

“This was great!!There isnt a lot of time with reindeer but we got more than most tours.We got to watch them 15 mins wild while they give a talk,then go a short reindeer ride (minutes), then a 30 mins inside talk then most people got to pet 2 reindeer for a few mins.We got to move around extra while waiting for the ride (there were other groups there)& got posed photos on the frozen ice.It was so so cold watching so the wild reindeer was long enough & a longer ride would have been cold(it was -35!)but I could see people being disappointed that it was short. After everyone left…”
1.5-hour Lapland reindeer farm visit near Rovaniemi with feeding, local guide talk, and a short sleigh ride for $140.
“Activité très moyenne. La ferme se trouve juste à la sortie de Rovaniemi et ouverte à tous, le transport proposé par l'agence est très cher alors que l'on peut le faire seul ou en taxi. Nous avons calculé, nous étions 4 et nous aurions economisé plus d'un quart du prix en faisant comme cela. Le temps à la ferme est très court. Il y a deux rennes attachés dans la cour que l'on peut carresser en attendant notre tour à la balade. La balade est sympathique et c'est toujours une bonne expérience. Mais cela ne vaut clairement pas le prix payé. Petite collation et explications générales de l'éleveur à la…”
Rovaniemi husky farm visit: 1-km sleigh ride, cozy kennel hugging, winter gear, and pickup from central Rovaniemi.
“The activity was ok, just the schedule has not been respected we had to wait for an extra hour and a half until everyone comes and we went by bus to the husky tour. The dogs are not all husky half of them are some mutations if not all of them and for the price paying it’s not worth it. If you decide to have a sledge ride is better to go for the reindeer ride which is in the santa claus village and costs only 140euros and the husky was 350 euros for not even a 5 min ride.”

Después la actividad te venden mil cosas y solamente vas, te montas 2min en el trineo y fuera...ni te enseñan los perros ni te dejan interactuar con ellos.....así que te sale el minuto de la actividad a 200e....y encima no te ponen ni huskeys por la temperatura, cuando la actividad es con ellos.....así que deberían devolverte el dinero ..o indemnizarle....una experiencia nefasta .....”
