It was great. We were even lucky enough to see the northern lights. The sleigh ride is short, but it got cold quickly, so it was just right. The directions to the meeting point via Headout are wrong. You have to go to the bus parking lot: enter the visitor center and go down the stairs. The food was okay. All in all, it was a great experience. The reindeer and staff are super nice. :)

A wonderful experience. I didn't think sledding with reindeer would be so much fun, especially under a sky lit up by the Northern Lights. Feeding them was also exciting. The part that fascinated me most was learning about the Sami culture, which I didn't know much about. Truly beautiful and magical.

A wonderful experience. The meal was very good. We had a lot of fun feeding the reindeer. The short sleigh ride is simple but sufficient. And the highlight of the show was the Northern Lights.

Go on an evening reindeer sledding adventure led by Sámi guides, offering an authentic Arctic experience.

Glide through snowy landscapes under the night sky, with a real chance to spot the Northern Lights.

Warm up with hot drinks by the fire before enjoying a hearty three-course dinner in a Sami hut.

Gain insight into Sámi traditions and culture, directly from local experts.

Once you’re familiar with the approaching reindeer, feed them buckets of their favorite treats with the sky lit up with beautiful Northern Lights.

A perfect night! We even saw the northern lights when it seemed impossible.
