Visit the Reindeer Farm

1 hour and 30 minutes

Easy

Visit our authentic reindeer farm, meet real-life reindeer herders, and feed reindeer in their natural surroundings.


A Genuine Visit to a Working Reindeer Farm

We’ll meet you in the peaceful surroundings of our reindeer farm, nestled deep in the Lappish countryside. From there, we’ll take you to meet our wonderful reindeer — travelling by snowmobile sledges during snowy months, or by other suitable means in snow-free seasons.

Please note: Our location is about a one-hour drive from Rovaniemi city centre. Transportation is not included, so you’ll need to arrive by car or taxi.

There’s nothing built here just for tourism. Everything you see is part of our real, everyday life. Everyone you’ll meet during your visit is a genuine reindeer herder, continuing a family tradition that goes back hundreds of years. This is a true, working reindeer farm — and you are warmly welcome.

What's included?

    Authentic local reindeer herder as your guide, telling about reindeer and reindeer herding, Lapland, nature, and culture.

      Clothing

      Please note

        Please note that we do not have any attractions build specially for visitors. Instead we offer authentic and natural real-life experiences in wilderness and free ranging semi-wild reindeer herd. But no fear, we’ll surely take good care of you and it’s completely safe, though.  

        In all our journeys, we respect nature and show how to behave respectfully in nature. All activities are planned carefully also according to this. We use as little and as eco-friendly products as possible, minimize the waste, and recycle everything. Anything you bring to nature, also bring it back with you. We also minimize our carbon footprint by conserving our forests from heavy forestry, and we also have a private official nature conservation area, an old forest.     

        What to bring

          Wear warm outdoor clothing. If you need to rent clothing, Rovaniemi Tourist Office will help you with that.
