A touch of original Sami culture (museum) and Sami way of leaving(reindeers) . Myself and my teenage kids were impressed - Perfect mix of sami museum with great amount of interesting information and Reindeers farm run by family for years. Sami museum was very interesting and guide very knowledgeable. Reindeers farm very very recommended, run by family leaving there for years, 10-20 reindeers are socialized and you can actually enter the enclosure where they are kept, feed them there and pet. Excellent guide (Alex) who shared with used lots of interesting information, and being at most helpful. We even did together eclectic scooters day after (my teen age kids loved it)

A fantastic day. Fantastic day with extraordinary guide. - Sonja shares with us with passion and kindness her love for nature and Sami civilization. She cooked us a great meal then visited reindeer husbandry. In short we leave with lots of stars in our eyes. Sonja shares with passion and kindness her love for nature and Lapp civilization.

Great guide, very interesting trip - Guide had many interesting things to tell. The museum covers Sami culture with some amazing art, clothes and tools. It also teaches you about the local nature throughout the seasons with beautiful pictures. We ate a delicious creamy soup by the campfire next to a river rapid. Then we learned about reindeer, which we also were allowed to pet and feed. Dress warmly, because you will be outside a lot.

Great trip, professional guide ... book it, its worth it! :o) - I booked a one-day-trip with Xwander to Inari Region. We visited SIIDA, a local reindeer farm and did cooking by the campfire in an open hut close to the river. Our guide Sonja was very friendly and professional. She showed us around, told us about the local culture and was a five-star cook as well :) We even used fish which was caught by the guide itself in a nearby lake a few hours ago! Great! Xwander also organized pick-up and drop-off at my hotel in Saariselka. The trip was a great experience and professionally organized. Highly recommend it!

Great day - we would love to come back. - Great day trip with interesting information about the life of the seeds, nature and a visit to the reindeer. With a lot of information I didn't know yet. For example, reindeer don't like the annoying mosquitoes any more than I do.... Had a sumptuous lunch - prepared by the campfire. In great surroundings.
