    We took the long reindeer ride. Our guide to the farm, Diogo, was very friendly and attentive. He explained a lot to us. Once there, the activity was great: a sleigh ride followed by a cabin where they explained a lot about the reindeer and gave us hot drinks and sweets.

Reindeer Sleigh Ride

At the scheduled time, we'll meet in the center of Rovaniemi. From there, we'll make our way to a reindeer farm​ where Finnish shepherds care for and train these polar animals, the only deer that allow themselves to be domesticated.

During the visit, their caretakers will tell us all about daily life at a reindeer farm and some curiosities about Santa's famous helpers. Did you know that their herds can be more than a hundred members?

After making friends with them, we'll set off for the sleigh ride through the snowy forests around the farm as we admire the white trails and frosted trees providing the perfect backdrop for this experience! We'll take a 40-minute tour in which we'll marvel at the environment that surrounds us.

At the end of the ride, we'll be served a snack and a traditional warm drink from this region of Finland while we continue getting to know our new four-legged friends. 

Finally, we'll drive you back to the meeting point in Rovaniemi, where we'll bring this tour to an end after 2.5 hours together.
