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.

Local reindeer herders share their insights and address any queries you may have about the distinctive lifestyle and customs of the region’s reindeer herders.

Following your visit to the farm, partake in a 1-hour snowmobile safari, 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.
