Activity description
Take in the majesty of the Northern Lights on a family-friendly reindeer sledding excursion in Saariselkä. Spend time with these amazing creatures and learn more about their daily lives. Welcoming adventurers of all ages!
Located in Northern Finland, Saariselkä is a popular holiday resort and village situated in Finnish Lapland. Surrounded by the breathtaking Arctic wilderness, Saariselkä is renowned for its excellent opportunities to witness the Northern Lights. The clear, dark skies during the winter months make it a prime location for viewing this incredible natural phenomenon. What better way to view the dancing colours of the Aurora Borealis than on a magical reindeer sleigh ride?
Your adventure begins after being picked up at one of the listed meeting points in Saariselkä (please specify when booking). Upon arrival at the reindeer farm, you and your group (a maximum of 14 participants) will be outfitted in winter gear, including thermal overalls, boots, wool socks, a hat, a scarf, and gloves. Next, your experienced guide will go over a safety briefing before you set off into the winter wonderland on your enchanting reindeer sleigh ride.
Sit back, relax, and enjoy the vivid colours of the Northern Lights as the reindeer pull you silently through the snow-covered forest. After your 45-minute ride, you'll be taken on a tour of the reindeer farm and will be treated to warm drinks as you learn more about these magnificent creatures. Once you've said goodbye to your four-legged friends, you'll return to the original departure point in Saariselkä with lifelong memories of your enchanting evening.
