Rovaniemi reindeer farm visit with guided reindeer walking in deep snow. Small group, pickup included, snacks by a wood fire.
“Thinking about doing this…. Just do it! A wonderful authentic reindeer farm in the middle of nowhere, hosted by a fantastic family who have owned it for 50 years. Seeing the reindeer’s in a natural environment was so lovely, the kids adored it. The family couldn’t be more welcoming and kind. We got to spend time with the reindeer and learn about their life. As a vegan animal welfare was important to me, and I could see how loved the reindeer are by the family. A definite highlight of the trip! Juho was an amazing host- thank you so much!”
