Lay back, relax, and enjoy the peaceful atmosphere of Finnish Lapland on a reindeer sleigh ride from Rovaniemi! For generations, the Sámi people and other inhabitants of the Arctic, Scandinavian region have used reindeer sledding as a practical way to move around the snowy landscapes that characterise it. Reindeer herders breed, care for, and train the animals to keep them safe, and show this ancient tradition to visitors from around the world. Rovaniemi, as the capital of Finnish Lapland, is an ideal place to experience this traditional place, with diverse options for accommodations and several reindeer farms around the city.
On the day of your reindeer sleigh ride from Rovaniemi, you'll have the option to be picked up in certain spots around the city or to arrive at the meeting point at least 20 minutes before the starting time of the experience. At the Safartica headquarters, you'll meet your expert instructor, who will give you a thorough safety briefing and distribute the high-quality equipment you'll use throughout the day, which will include a thermal suit, snow boots, gloves, a scarf, woollen socks, and a beanie. You'll have some time to gear up, and once you're ready, it's time to go!
Your instructor will drive you to the reindeer farm and introduce you to the herder, who will prepare the sleigh and help you get on it. You'll then experience the thrill and comfort of exploring the breathtaking landscapes of Finnish Lapland in a tranquil reindeer sleigh ride. After the 3-kilometre ride, you'll be back at the farm, drinking hot drinks and eating a delicious cinnamon bun, while the reindeer herder educates you about their occupation.
Keep in mind that, although your instructor will provide you with good-quality winter equipment, you should also come prepared with thermal layers and a windproof and waterproof jacket to wear under the suit if it's very cold outside. You should also bring a hat, a scarf, warm winter shoes, a hat, and anything else you might need (medication, extra snacks) to spend approximately 2.5 hours on this amazing reindeer sleigh ride from Rovaniemi!
