Northern Lights Reindeer safari in Rovaniemi

Enjoy a night ride with reindeer under the Northern Lights in Rovaniemi. Travel through beautiful silent nature in the arctic night and search for the magical Auroras above.

You will travel by car to the start of the adventure at a local reindeer farm. Enjoy the silence of the dark polar night in a reindeer sleigh whilst searching for the Northern Lights in Finnish Lapland. Travel peacefully through the arctic forest wrapped up warm in the sleigh. There are plenty of opportunities throughout the safari to take photos. 

The reindeer sleigh ride takes about 1 hour. Afterwards, a reindeer herder has prepared coffee and a cinnamon bun by the campfire and will share interesting stories about reindeer herding and the wilderness life in Finnish Lapland. Two persons per reindeer sleigh unless otherwise advised at the farm.
