Northern Lights Reindeer Sleigh Ride

What to expect?

For many visitors to Lapland, a ride in a reindeer-pulled sleigh is one of the most memorable ways to experience the beautiful snow-capped forests around Rovaniemi. If it's good enough for Santa Claus, it's good enough for us!

To begin your tour, you'll be picked up from your hotel in the Lappish capital, before being taken to a reindeer farm far away from the bright lights and noise of the city. There, you can play with the adorable Arctic animals as their handlers tell you all about how they live.

You'll then clamber aboard a sleigh pulled by reindeer and head out on a journey lasting around one hour. Ride through the expanse of snow-covered land, a wintery paradise where it seems like Christmas never ends. As well as enjoying the iconic Finnish scenery, keep a look out in the skies above you for the incredible natural light show known as the Aurora Borealis. 

After marvelling in wonder at the magical illuminations twinkling amongst the stars, you'll stop to enjoy a snack typical of Finland and a hot drink to warm you up. Finally, you'll be taken back to Rovaniemi and dropped off at your hotel.
