TUI Saariselka reindeer sleigh tour

4.6/5
24 reviews

Nothing says Lapland more than a traditional sleigh ride through dreamy snowy landscape. You'll enjoy a Santa-style sleigh ride pulled by reindeers past wintery scenes, and warm up your fingertips at the end with a hot berry drink and Lappish snack over an open fire.

Climb aboard Santa's sleigh and set off through the magical winter wonderland that is Lapland. You'll glide effortlessly past frozen lakes and forests carpeted in powdery snow during the ride, and watch as the reindeers pull you along as they navigate the land.

The reindeers will lead you to a camp where an open fire will be roaring and hot berry drinks are ready for pouring. Warm up and tuck into a Lappish snack, savouring this quintessential Lapland experience. But before you go, there's one last thing - you'll be able to get to grips with the basics of reindeer herding.

    Great experience, and great information from the Finnish lady after the ride. Staff very well informed and have a genuine care for what they do. As for value for money , I feel that ALL experiences are a little overpriced but as these events are mostly one off experiences, there is a "bite the bullet and pay the price" approach by everyone

    The Sami guide was very informative. We learnt lots about Sami life, Sami culture and reindeers. The reindeer safari was was in a beautiful setting and was very magical.

    The experience was delightful and informative with the very friendly Glitter the Elf, bus drivers & incredible hosts at the Reindeer Safari. We really enjoyed learning about the Sámi culture, traditions as well as how the Reindeer live. The transfers were made so easy and they even went beyond by dropping my party at the Elf Adventure before driving everyone else back to their hotel. Very grateful & 100% recommend. Thank you Christmas cake Carol for organising :)

    It was amazing. The TUI reps were incredibly helpful and always up beat. The end of holiday panto was exceptional and credit to the team for getting stuck into their roles.
