Snowmobile Safari and Reindeer Experience

Drive a Snowmobile and meet the Reindeer in Rovaniemi!

Visit a local reindeer farm and enjoy a snowmobile safari in the Arctic Circle!

Immerse yourself in the captivating world of reindeer herding, enjoy a brief reindeer sleigh ride, and delve into the deeply-rooted practices of this ancient profession in Finnish Lapland.

Your experience begins with a meeting with your guide at the set meeting points, where you'll be warmly dressed up before the take off to meet the reindeers. When everyone is ready, your journey to meet the reindeers at Reindeer Manor, 20-minutes drive away from the center of Rovaniemi, begins.

You can meet the friendly reindeer and enjoy a brief 500m long reindeer sledge ride. Local reindeer herders will be present to share their insights and address any queries you may have about the distinctive lifestyle and customs of the region’s reindeer herders. Gain a deeper understanding of how herders manage their reindeer and collaborate as a family to preserve their way of life. To add warmth, hot juice and biscuits will be served in the hut.

Following your visit to the farm, partake in a 1-hour snowmobile safari within the Arctic Circle, departure from our office in Santa Claus Village. Before setting off, your guide will give detailed driving instructions. After all the safety instructions are done, the real fun begins when it´s time to start your 1-hour long journey through stunning Arctic landscapes!

About halfway through, we’ll take a short break, giving you the chance to take some photos and switch drivers if you are traveling in pairs.
