About this experience
Meet the reindeer of Finnish Lapland, then take the handlebars of a snowmobile and ride through the Arctic Circle. The day starts at Reindeer Manor, a local farm about 20 minutes from the centre of Rovaniemi, where friendly reindeer pull you on a 500-metre sleigh ride. Local reindeer herders are there to share how they look after their herds and work together as a family to keep this ancient way of life going, and to answer your questions, while hot berry juice and biscuits are served in the hut.
From the farm you continue to Santa Claus Village for a 1-hour snowmobile safari through stunning Arctic landscapes, sharing a snowmobile with one other person. About halfway there is a short break to take photos and, if you are travelling in pairs, to swap drivers.
Rated fairly easy, it combines the calm of a reindeer farm with the thrill of driving a snowmobile in about three and a half hours.
