Authentic Reindeer Farm Visit with Canoe Trip in the Nature

Your guide will drive you to one of the most traditional reindeer farms in Lapland. The family of reindeer herders are based just outside of Rovaniemi, Finland, on the lovely shores of a peaceful lake. From our perspective, they provide the best experience possible when it comes to both knowledge and service.

Taking in the beautiful surroundings at the farm, you will learn about the reindeer from the herders. They will show you around the traditional farm, and because it is the first visit of the day, you will have a chance to feed them their favourite food – lichen, which to reindeer is like chocolate! The visit will end with a very friendly time around the fire in the company of a herder who will answer all your questions and share their passion with you.

Canoeing Trip suitable for beginners and families!

Once you have had a great time with the reindeer, you will be introduced to the canoes. Your qualified canoe guide will teach you the basic techniques of how to canoe and will provide you with all the safety instructions needed. You will be explained how to use the paddles, how to move on water and steer your canoe, how to react if capsizing, etc. Your guide will always keep an eye on you and come to your aid if you need help.

While paddling, you feel the peacefulness of the nature surrounding you. At the end of this combination activity, you will for sure feel satisfied – you will have learnt about traditional reindeer farming and how to handle a canoe!

In all our activities, our groups are limited to 8 people maximum (Note: At the Reindeer Farm can be more people as the tours are public). It is very important for us to provide you with the best experience possible, and avoid mass tourism. This way, your guide will know you better and will be able to address all your needs and answer your questions. As we usually say – the smaller the group, the bigger the experience!
