Reindeer Sleigh Ride Under the Northern Lights

For countless travelers to the Lapland region, embarking on a sleigh ride led by reindeer stands out as one of the most unforgettable experiences amidst the enchanting snow-draped woodlands surrounding Rovaniemi. What better way to navigate this winter wonderland than in the company of Santa's helpers?

Your adventure begins with a pickup from your accommodation in the Lappish capital, scheduled between 7 and 9 PM. You will then head to a reindeer farm, located away from city lights alongside a tranquil lake. Here, you can interact with these charming Arctic creatures while their caretakers share insights about their lives and activities.

Once you've been briefed on safety procedures, you'll board a sleigh drawn by reindeer and embark on a delightful expedition. Traverse the pristine, snow-blanketed terrain, enveloped in a wintry wonderland where the spirit of Christmas appears to linger eternally. While soaking in the iconic Finnish vistas, keep an eye on the night sky for the remarkable natural light display known as the Aurora Borealis.

After being awestruck by the magical lights sparkling among the stars, take a moment to enjoy a traditional Finnish snack and a warm beverage to rejuvenate. Additionally, you will receive a Reindeer Driving License as a symbolic memento of your experience managing the reindeer team. Ultimately, your journey concludes as you are transported back to Rovaniemi, where you’ll be dropped off at your hotel.

Important Information

Kindly remember that the Aurora Borealis is a natural phenomenon, and visibility cannot be guaranteed during this excursion.
