What an amazing experience. - We just did this tour. I will say the host was amazing, very informative tour. The best part was while walking around the grounds and learning about Alaksa foliage and wilderness you were accompanied by a reindeer. I would highly reccomend this tour for anyone visiting the area.

Reindeer Meet and Feed is great for a family - The Reindeer Meet and Feed was unique, in our experience. First, we were up close and personal with the reindeer for a good amount of time. Second, we got to see the reindeer in their natural forest environment. A big highlight was feeding the mama reindeer and her sweet three-week old baby! Graham was a welcoming and knowledgeable host and guide. I’d particularly recommended the Meet and Feed for travelers with a limited timeframe, and for families with young children.

Some days the reindeer... - Some days the reindeer are friendly, sometimes more stand-offish - like most animals! Owner has 2 delightfully friendly dogs and the gathering cabin is gorgeous, very informative host!
