Great experience and enlightening host. - Experienced getting close to the animals. We participated in feeding. Nice ride with the slide and fun yourself to drive. We finished with delicious Sami food prepared over fire. Frederik was good at telling about the Sami lifestyle and also came around the climate challenges. All in all really good day in good company far out in the woods.

Fantastic day spent, well worth it - This was a wonderful excursion from Kiruna. Frederick was very welcoming and had so much knowledge to share about his culture and we had an enjoyable time feeding the reindeer and sledding with them before a tent-cooked dinner of reindeer pitas.

Fun, exciting and educational excursion. - An incredibly fun day with all the reindeer. We learned a lot about reindeer husbandry and were there when the reindeer were fed. We rode on the snowmobile and fed the reindeer. We also had to drive the reindeer sled ourselves, which was very fun. We ended the day with coffee and reindeer leaves by the open fire in the hut. Very good reindeer clip and nice atmosphere. Magnus who owns the reindeer was very good at telling about life with reindeer. Both in English and Swedish. We are so happy with our day. Highly recommend this excursion.

Absolutely stunning experience! HIGHLY RECOMMENDED! - We had a fantastic time with Frederik, the Sámi herder. We shared his daily activities with the reindeer herd, and we learnt to ride a sledge. It was a lot of adrenaline and an unforgettable experience! Frederik also supplied us with a lot of interesting information about the Sámi life, and about the reindeer and their relationship with the environment.

Lovely day out with the reindeer - It was the best experience we had during our trip to Kiruna. To see and interact with the reindeer was simply amazing. The guide Peder was also very knowledgeable and friendly, and we learned a lot about the reindeer and the Sami culture as well. Thank you for this experience. I can highly recommend this trip

Fantastic experience: learning about Sami culture and meeting cute reindeer - This experience is more than just reindeer sledding. You learn about Sami culture and you get to meet lots and lots of cute reindeer. You even get to go inside the pen of the male and the female reindeer and feed them lichen, which is like candy to them. While they are eating you might be able to pet them a bit as well. The sledding was fun, too. Our reindeer was quite mellow and took its time to do the tour. :) Frederick and Peter were amazing hosts! Time went by so quickly! I would definitely recommend doing this activity!
