EXCELLENT Based on 23 reviews Posted on ShawVerified Super Genuine Super genuine people, with such a down to earth and wonderful experience. Authentic family-run reindeer farm, so many friendly reindeer to meet and hand feed. Small group sizes make it so personal. Amazing home-made food and great little hut.

Anyone looking for an authentic reindeer farm please read on !!!! We booked with White winter Lapland It worked out about £80 per person booked direct We were picked up by Juho from our apartment in rovaniemi and he took us to his family’s reindeer farm about 40 minute drive through some stunning scenery He chatted along the way about the farm , his family and Finland We got to get up close and personal with the reindeers , had feed them and have plenty of opportunities for photos We met his mum and dad who were lovely , his mum provided us with blueberry juice and pancakes all home made and his dad showed us how the markings on the ears were made We warmed up in the lovely kota , talked about life both here and in England We then took one of the reindeers for a walk through a beautiful forest , no rush , no noise , just pure bliss We then warmed back up in the Kota and had more snacks ! We got given a very special souvenir to keep ! Juho then drove us back ti our apartment The whole experience lasted 4 hours We were the only family there , it was amazing You could clearly tell how much love and care goes into the reindeer This is a relatively new company so I was a bit sceptical but honestly the best thing we have done since we got here I already want to go back !Posted on FtansleyVerified The most wonderful and authentic reindeer experience The most magical and wonderful experience, a true highlight of our trip. The kids would rate it 6 stars if they could. The farm is simply lovely, in the middle of nowhere you feel at one with nature. I wanted something that wasn’t commercial, but represented the true Lapland - and that’s what I got! Juho simply couldn’t do enough for us throughout the trip, and his mother and father were so welcoming. We had freshly made pancakes and blueberry juice in the sweetest hut, it is a memory we will never forget. You know you just meet people and they leave a lasting impression - that’s his family, they are wonderful. I wished we could have spent longer at the farm, it was so authentic. The reindeer are the sweetest and so gentle. As a vegan, the care of the reindeer’s was important to me and it’s very obvious they have a wonderful life with this family- they are very much loved. Book this trip, you won’t regret it!Posted on Paula BVerified A highlight of our trip The visit to the reindeer farm was a beautiful and special experience. We had the opportunity to get to know the animals, feed them and then go for a walk together with the reindeer. The local people were very friendly, open and took a lot of time to answer all questions about the animals and Finland in general. Particularly positive is the great focus on the welfare of the animals - you immediately notice that they work here with a lot of responsibility and heart. An absolutely recommendable visit, which we would recommend at any time!Posted on Emily SVerified Perfect cozy experience The best experience feeding and walking reindeer with the kindest family. It wasn't touristy, which we appreciated. We had homemade pancakes and blueberry juice waiting for us by the fire, and enjoyable conversation all around. Highly recommend!Posted on Michaela KVerified I Fell in Love with This Place❤️🔥🫶🏻🇫🇮 Thank you for an unforgettable experience on your farm! 🫶🏻The trip to the farm from Rovaniemi, feeding the reindeer, walking with one of them, homemade blueberry juice and a pancake with homemade jam was amazing and atmosphere was magical. I felt like home. Despite my poor English, we talked for about an hour in the cottage with fire. The owners of the farm are very nice and friendly. We learned a lot of interesting things. Too bad about my English. :/ Thank you very much and we wish you many satisfied clients. I believe that in 5 years this trip will be just as pleasant and not very touristy. Yours reindeer are cute. Fell in love. ❤️🔥🫶🏻🇫🇮Posted on Stephanie GVerified Brilliant ethical family farm Honestly just book! This was an amazing experience with such lovely people. An ethical family farm. You won’t be disappointed. The views are magical and you will feel like you have just stepped into a winter wonderland without all the commercialisation.Posted on Mia MatijasevicVerified The coziest reindeer experience The reindeer farm visit and walking tour must be the best tour we’ve ever booked. It was absolutely magical. We don’t know what was better; the adorable reindeer that you get to learn about, feed and then walk or the family behind the tour. They served us homemade pancakes and hot homemade blueberry juice while we were warming up around fire in a kota. It was incredible to talk to them and learn about their way of living. The tour felt very unique and personal which we loved. We would absolutely love to visit again and 100% recommend this tour to everyone!Posted on Blandine LVerified Visite de la ferme Super expérience ! Le guide nous a très bien accompagné et nous avons pu échanger avec ses parents très chaleureux. On voit vraiment que les rennes sont bien traités. Je recommande vivement. Blandine et Clara

Yes, they most likely can. We recommend contacting us in advance to inform us of any mobility limitations so we can together make some special arrangements for your needs. If trekking in the snow causes issues for a person with reduced mobility, we can always try figuring out if moving around in a sledge or back of a snowmobile is a possibility.

All cancellations must be made by email. Cancellations can be refunded when cancellation is made 24 hours before the departure time of the excursion. For later cancellations or no-shows, the total price of the reservation will be charged.
