1 / 5Chasing Auroras by Reindeer Safari
About this activity
This nature tours is one of the standout things to do in Rovaniemi, Finland. it combines the highlights below into a single, easy-to-book experience from €192 per person. Enjoy an evening reindeer sleigh ride through the snowy forest of Lapland and get a chance to spot the magical Aurora Borealis!
This tour starts from Rovaniemi city centre and will then drive you to one of the most traditional reindeer farms in Southern Lapland. These family herders are based just outside of Rovaniemi on the lovely shores of a peaceful lake. They have been herding for 200 years and living in this area for 500 years. From our perspective, they provide the best experience possible when it comes to both knowledge and service.
At the farm, you will be introduced to your reindeer and can then take a seat in the sleigh. Your reindeer will then take you for a peaceful sleigh trip where Arctic nature shows all its silent beauty. Just a bit of luck is needed, and you will soon be able to spot and enjoy the precious Northern Lights dancing over your head.
After the trip, hot drinks and snacks are waiting for you in a wooden cottage on the farm. By the fire, the herders will tell you more about the Lappish way of life and reindeer husbandry. Reindeer herding is a very traditional activity in Lapland, and they will be happy to share with you about their lifestyle and passion.
