Raisa_R, Dec 2025

The farm is very commercial, too many people for little capacity. Only 2 toilets for a lot of people. Explanation about reindeer was interesting and combined with some blueberry hot drink and an ikea cinnamon bun. The ride itself is not more than 10 minutes in a circle like on „pony goes around“ whizz the guide pulling a reindeer and all sledges connected by rope. Purely money making machine.

Once in a trip!

Very lovely day, and seeing baby reindeer children could feed reindeer, had to be careful of antlers

Interesting experience

Damir_V, Dec 2023

These reindeers look a bit happier than those in Santa Village, so if you really want to experience reideer sleigh ride I can recommend this one. Ride is quite short, but I think long enough for “bucket list” as reindeers are quite slow. At the end I was happy we didn’t took 2km ride.

Do not book it. The...

Do not book it. The sleigh ride was only 5 minutes… the rest was transfer, taking and feeding someReindeers…

Unremarkable Experience

There was nothing especially great or terrible with this experience. I would not recommend it for others.

So special

Jade_J, Dec 2022

We had the most wonderful morning visiting the family run reindeer farm. Our guide, Roman, was super friendly, lovely and helpful! An asset to viator. The farm and experience itself was so special and we’d definitely go again. Merry Christmas

Great experience

Great visit guys are so friendly, can stroke the reindeer, sleigh ride and talk around an open fire with hot juice and cake. Also pick up and drop off from hotel. We had a bit of time at the end so the guide took us to a frozen lake to have a look. Much cheaper then competitors too. definitely recommend

actividad rapidisima

Viajero_U, Dec 2022

La actividad es bonita, buena atencion por el guia que nos lo pusieron en español. Nos dieron un te de arnadanos y galletas, nos esplicaron en ingles la vida de los renos, y dimos una vuelta de 400 metros, para mi gusto muy corta para el precion que pagamos. Mi disgusto es que no pudimos estar por la granja al menos durante un rato viendo el resto de renos. Demasiado rapido.
