Reindeer rides and Northern Lights! - This experience was all I hoped it would be. We went for a sleigh ride pulled by a reindeer! We got to feed a whole bunch of reindeers, who were very friendly! We learned all about Sami traditions. We even had a traditional Sami stew, which was not my favorite but had to try it. Definitely recommend this trip! How could I forget, we saw the Northern Lights too!!

Kind Staff and Kind Reindeer. - Absolutely incredible. We started off our journey on a bus towards the reindeer which was around 45 mins. Once we got there the staff told us exactly what to do and what not to do, we started off feeding the reindeer for around 20 mins, we were able to come back for more buckets of food so there was no limit to how much we needed (the reindeer were very friendly also!). After the 20 mins our group got called to go reindeer sledding, we got seated on the sled then were off, there was a blanket provided which was very warm. We did the reindeer sledding for about the same time, 20 mins. After, we then went inside to have our reindeer stew, ( vegetarian options were available). The reindeer tasted very good and there were some snacks available, also provided with some coffee and hot chocolate. After we were all finished eating one of the Sami people told us all about his culture and how they move to the summer land to the winter land and loads more. Overall a fabulous experience and a great place to go to on holiday.

Trip to the reindeer camp - The staff who accompanied us on this adventure were very kind, they explained the history of the SAMI people in all its facets in a very comprehensive way. The reindeer tour was perhaps a little short but it was worth it. The dinner was very satisfying and special.

Great and unique experience! - This experience was great! Everything from the reindeer sledding to the feeding was unique but Nils storytelling was a plus. The food is not the best part of the tour but it’s a chance to eat reindeer for the first time. (I can say I tried it but honestly could not eat the bowl of stew). I highly recommend this experience ☺️

Mild at best… no relationship to the northern lights - The night was disappointing. Short slay ride. No effort to see the northern lights. The Samy people were hospitable… and caring. We fed the reindeer.. overall.. an avg experience in time we were searching for the Aurora

Pleasant experience feeding the reindeer, all wasted by the toilets and the single bowl of soup. - Sami staff very kind, pleasant experience, but dinner is insufficient (a small bowl of soup) given the cost of the trip it is not acceptable, especially since it says dinner". The worst thing are the toilets: I understand nature conservation but those were indecent, dirty and smelly, not hygienic.

WtF, for no reason no chance to see polarlights - The sky was clear and cloudless. The App aurora does give positive signs to see polarlights.
But the time at the sami camp was shortened by one hour.
So we didn't get the chance to see polarlights by no reason.
The trip should be named sledding and sami culture.
No refound for organisation failure by the operator.......

Spectacular Northern Lights - We traveled in March for our birthday, which I think is the best month because it is not so cold, it is better to take a tour especially to see the auroras because otherwise they do not take you especially the tours that offer several things. I recommend going to see the Domes, it is spectacular

Bad experience - Don’t recommend this company. The sledding did not take place and we were only notified when on the bus so it’s too late to cancel and the partial refund offered was only 20% (£30).
