Arctic Circle Snowmobile Park · Rovaniemi city centre
One booking covers the three things most visitors want from Lapland: a reindeer sleigh, a husky ride and an afternoon at Santa Claus Village, with salmon soup in between. Pick it when your time is short, because it packs a full Lapland day into 6 hours with transport and winter clothing sorted.
This is the most reviewed tour on this site, with 4.6 stars from 2,418 reviews, and it is easy to see why. You get a 500-metre reindeer sleigh ride, a 500-metre ride behind a team of Alaskan huskies, lunch and free time at Santa Claus Village, from $210 per person in 2026. You can cancel free up to 24 hours before.
Be clear on the rides. Both are 500 metres, short rides at the farm, and a herder leads the reindeer while you sit in the sledge. The listing talks about riding your own sledge and hands out a Reindeer Sledge Driver's License, which is a fun souvenir certificate. Over lunch the herders tell you what it is like to herd reindeer today. The soup is salmon, or a vegetarian soup, and guests rate it highly.
After the farm the guide takes you to Santa Claus Village for free time at your own pace. Step across the Arctic Circle line in the central square, or visit the Santa Claus Office, where Santa Claus Village says entry is free of charge. Children under 150 cm can try 10 minutes of mini snowmobiling on a small track. Winter clothing is lent for the day. Transport runs from the city centre, not your hotel, and the tour is not suitable for wheelchair users. Sleigh rides need snow. Visit Rovaniemi says the snow usually settles for good in late November, sometimes earlier, and the sleigh season runs to about mid-April.
Meet in Rovaniemi city centre, get your winter clothing and ride out to the reindeer and husky farm.
Sit in your sledge for a short ride while a herder leads the reindeer, then collect your driver's licence.
Meet the Alaskan huskies, then ride behind a team on a short sleigh run.
Eat salmon or vegetarian soup while the herders talk about life with reindeer in the 21st century.
Free time to cross the Arctic Circle, meet Santa or shop. Children under 150 cm can try mini snowmobiling.
The transfer drops you back in the city.
★★★★★Great experience with the reindeer sleds and then with the Huskies. The dogs are adorable, and they are very well behaved, so we were able to spend some time with them. The salmon soup for lunch was delicious and tasted homemade. In the end, the experience at Santa Claus Village was a lot of fun too. I highly recommend the tour.
★★★★★A truly perfect tour for combining lots of activities in one day. The travel times to the locations were short. Our guide was super nice and answered all our questions, took photos of us, and organized everything really well!! [...] Great care is taken to ensure the welfare of the animals. There was plenty of time to explore Santa Claus Village. [...]
★★★★★This tour is wonderful!! If you want to experience the highlights of Rovaniemi in a single package, this is the best option. The guides are wonderful and explain everything to you!
★★★★★Incredible! I think about this experience often even two years later. This day wrapped up all the magic of what I expected in Finland and everyone was so kind. I loved that they provided big winter suits to wear in the cold too! :)
