This Arctic Animals Combo Safari offers a unique 3-hour adventure in Rovaniemi, combining two iconic Lapland experiences: a self-drive reindeer sleigh ride and a husky sleigh ride with a professional musher. Designed for all ages, this tour provides an excellent opportunity to meet magnificent Arctic animals, learn about their habits, and immerse yourself in Lappish culture amidst stunning winter landscapes.

Frequently asked questions 

(See all questions and answers here)
A:

The sleigh ride is gentle and not physically demanding, but guests who are pregnant or have medical conditions should consult their doctor before participating. The sleighs move smoothly, but uneven snowy terrain may cause slight bumps.

A:

Please be on time! Our tours follow a strict schedule, and if you miss the hotel pick-up, you will not be able to join later. Arriving separately by taxi or private car is usually not possible, as it may disrupt the program and group safety. Plan ahead — we appreciate your understanding.

A:

Dress warmly! You’ll be outdoors for much of the tour. We recommend wearing thermal underwear, a fleece or wool mid-layer, a winter jacket and pants, a warm hat, gloves or mittens, and insulated boots. Temperatures can be cold, especially in December and January.

A:

Feel free to bring your own phone or camera, and ask the guide to help take photos of you with the reindeer or during the sleigh ride. While professional photos are not included, guides are happy to assist. Please note: Drones are not allowed during the tour, as they can disturb or frighten the animals and affect the peaceful atmosphere of the farm.

A:

Sometimes, but not reliably. Puppies are typically born in spring and grow quickly before winter. Our kennel focuses on the dogs’ welfare and does not time litters for tourist viewing. If seeing puppies is a priority, we recommend booking with a kennel that specifically offers that experience.

A:

The reindeer ride is about 500 meters and offers a peaceful glide through a snowy trail. The husky ride is 1–2 kilometers (depending on snow conditions) and provides an exciting, authentic experience with our energetic huskies. Both rides are guided and fully safe for children and adults alike.

Wonderfull experience

We visited the reindeer farm + reindeer sleigh and husky park + husky sleigh. We appreciate it a lot, especially the story of these animals which has been very well told. The reindeer farm has more than a hundred years of history, we were able to touch and feed the reindeer. The husky park was very large and raised over 90 huskies, we were also able to pet and take pictures with the huskies.
Alex was very welcoming and informative.
Thanks for this morning.

This tour company does a good job picking you up on time and accommodating where needed. We did the reindeer/husky rides, enjoyed snacks/drinks, warm fires and learning more about these animals. Of course we got to feed/pet these animals as much as we wanted. Lots of fun, we would definitely recommend this company when booking a tour.

Four friends trip!

I would recommend this tour as it will save you a bit of time (rather than doing it DIY, one by one). It is do-able the three activities in one day in santa village becauseeverything is walking distance in there, but if you want to know more infos and trivias, and save time on searching the places where to do activities, and queuing to buy the tickets then i would recommend you to book this one. It includes everything and the guide will answet yout questions. Thanks to our guide Alex, we manage to do everything we want to do in 1 day. We didnt have to line to buy tickets in that cold weather. The trivias and his shop recommendations are interesting and useful!

Fantastic

We had a brilliant day out with a very informative guide. Collected from our apartment and taken to feed the reindeer, we had a sleigh ride followed by a hot drink. Moved on to visit the Huskies,they were wonderful to see, the ride was brilliant. Met Santa and had lots of information throughout from our guide :)

LOVED IT!

The tour itself was soo worth it. We got to ride in a husky carriage (I advise 5km distance), had a tour in the husky farm, got to pet beautiful huskies, sent letters from Santa’s Post Office, see Santa himself, rode in a reindeer carriage, and had an adventure on snowmobile, and entered the ARCTIC!!! Everything from 10:30 till 16:00. I wish we could spend more time in Santa’s Village but everything closed at 17:00.
Alex was a very very helpful and polite person. He was kind enough to arrange additional things that we wanted to add to the tour today! He was very understanding too. Also, he told us about the live video-cam that was installed right where you enter Arctic Circle. He helped us bu taking a lot of our pictures too!!
