Cost was a little higher than other places but Apukka clearly is very organised and knows what they’re doing as everything ran to time and all expectations were met.

“Really enjoyed our activities. Shame the animal rides weren’t longer, but we knew how far we would be going on them when booking this. Would have also been nice if we could have had spare time to wonder around the farm, as that felt a little rushed. Ryan and our other guide (so sorry I forgot his name) were fab, full of fun and looked after us well. All in all a thumbs up as it was an unforgettable experience. We did the snowmobile, husky and reindeer rides in one package for half a day.”

After the ride we went to a warm hut with a fireplace had tee and cinnamon rolls and were told about the reindeers. It was so nice to know how they’re treated well here and only take one group per day. Our guide was so passionate about everything it felt amazing! We even got to pet a reindeer! Would 100% recommend paying a bit more and having this amazing experience and know that the animals are treated well!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 239 reviews · 3.5 hours · from $139Top rated

From Rovaniemi, Matias or Valeriia takes you to a traditional reindeer farm for feeding, farm stories, a possible 400-meter sleigh ride, and a warm drink by the fire. The group is limited to eight, and your guide takes polished photos throughout the visit. Expect a personal, well-organized outing rather than a large Santa Claus Village-style stop.

“It was wonderful, I did not realize by booking this tour that we would not really be part of a group and even though there was a group there, they did not get the same amenities that we got we basically got to go to the front of the line we were the first to get a sleigh ride we were the first to go warm up in the hut and we received professional photos. It was fantastic. We had such a wonderful time. Our guide was so wonderful. I would definitely do this again.”

Levi: Lapland Reindeer and Husky Safari

15.Lapland Reindeer and Husky Safari

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 222 reviews · 3 hours · from $294

From Levi, you’ll visit a reindeer farm for a 1-kilometer sledge ride, hot berry juice, and Sámi stories, then head to a husky farm for a 2-kilometer sled ride. You may help drive the husky sled yourself, usually sharing with a partner. Guides such as Reino, Mait, or Alex add local stories and practical help.

“The husky safari was an amazing experience! With a partner, you can either drive or ride in a husky-led sled. I was honestly expecting to just be sitting and enjoying the scenery and the ride but driving was a unique experience. We received some instructions at the beginning from our awesome guide but there’s nothing like actually driving the sled. Learning about the huskies was also very interesting! The reindeer safari was much more calm but equally beautiful and educating. Learning more about the reindeer and Sami people and culture also added to the experience!”
