It was very beautiful and the reindeer were really cute. There was also so much food, cookies and warm drinks that we really enjoyed. And it was very exciting to learn something about the culture of the Samis. Only the sleigh ride was a little worse than expected as it was very slow and just went in circles. If you want to take a ride I would recommend the short one. This is cheaper and is absolutely sufficient.

The price included unlimited hot chocolate (very tasty), coffee, tea and cookies. There was also a warm lunch with a vegetarian option. The campfire made the atmosphere in the tents very cozy. The guides were very friendly and gave helpful tips on how to deal with the animals during feeding. The highlights were of course the sleigh ride and feeding the animals. You could feed, pet or photograph the animals for a long time. The animals seemed content and balanced. We took this excursion on the last day of our vacation, which was the culmination of our vacation for us. Any time!

Was an amazing experience with the reindeers and the Sami people. We learned a lot about both. There was storytelling and joik, but we had also time to ask questions and engage with the reindeer hearders. The reindeer feeding was more fun than I thought. Overall, it was an immersive and fun experience. Thank you!
