Things to do in Meet Reindeers in Rovaniemi
While they’re known for pulling Santa’s sleigh, and the most famous having a red nose, animal lovers will enjoy meeting face-to-face with the iconic reindeer and learn all about these fluffy, gentle Arctic animals in Rovaniemi. What’s more, you can also hop on a sleigh ride to take in the dazzling snowy landscapes.
Hop on a sleigh, the most traditional form of transport in Lapland, and let the majestic animals pull you along through the Lappish wilderness. Feel the cold air bite at your cheeks as you breathe in the calmness of the surroundings as their hooves crunch through the snow. It’s an experience that will bring smiles to people of all ages.

Reviews Meet Reindeers in Rovaniemi
“It is not worthy paying for a guide, at least the one we had was not helpful at all. Zoo visit by your own and no explanation in the husky or reindeer farms.”
“All TUI excursions I went on were late for pick up - wish I had booked externally”
“I didn't feel like the sleigh ride was very good value for money. I went on a husky ride the night before with a different tour operator and it was much longer. If you book outside of TUI then you get much better experiences.”
“Buena combinación de granja de renos, con Huskys, junto con la excursión de una hora en moto de nieve, fuera del Santa Claus Village. Buena elección dejar el Santa Claus Village para el final.”
