An Authentic and Unforgettable Sámi Cultural Experience - Spending time with Niklaus was one of the most special experiences of our trip. He generously shared his life as a Sámi reindeer herder, offering a genuine and deeply personal insight into Sámi culture and traditions.
Everything about the experience felt authentic, from hearing about his way of life with the reindeer to sharing an incredible meal he prepared himself. The food was amazing, with ingredients he had personally caught, foraged, and cooked in the traditional way.
It was a privilege to learn directly from someone living this culture every day. Niklaus was warm, generous with his knowledge, and created a truly memorable experience. I highly recommend this to anyone wanting a meaningful and authentic connection to Sámi culture.

Great and genuine experience - We had a great day with Niklas and his reindeer. We were picked up and then drove behind the snowmobile to his camp. We got a lot of explanation about the reindeer and the Sami culture, were allowed to take care of the reindeer and got a nice lunch in a warm tippie.
Niklas takes good care of his animals and it is a genuine and beautiful experience. We were allowed to ride with the sledge and reindeer Billy and got lots of hugs from Rosie.
All in all, highly recommended to book this tour! Small group and lots of attention to the animals!

Wow - From the moment that we were picked up, Nicholas was very friendly , professional, attentive, informative and very proud of his Sami heritage.
Lots of questions and he was happy to share his knowledge with us all.
He introduce us to his herd , fed them and interacted with the reindeers, although shy and wild, with forest foraged snacks they became almost your best friend.
We rode on a reindeer led sled around the tracks by ourselves, which was amazing.
We then headed into the teepee around the warm fire to have a light refreshment of combination of salted / smoke reindeer and moose meat which was cooked over a hot plate. This was served on warmed up souva type home made bread on a bed of crème fraiche mixed with lingonberry jam.
It was simply delicious and beautifully cooked by Nicholas.
Finish off with homemade hot lingonberry tea
We did not know what to expect but this was an experience that was amazing with a very knowledgable proud operator.
It’s a must do on your bucket list and highly recommended to all.
A truly magnificent morning day outing !
Thank you Nicholas for the memorable time and day spent with you

One of the highlights of our trip - Our morning with Niklas was one of the highlights of our trip to Northern Sweden. We really enjoyed spending time with him and meeting Nasti, Rosa, Billy and especially the handsome Ghost! The reindeer really all had their own personalities. Niklas was incredibly generous in answering our questions and we enjoyed getting some insight into the Sami way of life and how younger generations are carrying traditions forward while modernizing where it makes sense. The smoked moose souvas Niklas prepared was delicious, and we appreciated the opportunity to warm our feet in the lavvu on a day where temps hovered near -30C. Felt like a real slice of life in northern Sweden and is exactly the kind of connection and experience we look for when traveling. Was not surprised at all when my teenage son said this was his favorite experience of our whole trip .

Good experience……uno spettacolo - Ottima esperienza. Nikklas, il titolare, è gentile, simpatico e coinvolgente. le sue renne sono super simpatiche, e l’esperienza del cibo spettacolare. Il giro consiste nel vedere e nutrire le renne, fare un breve giro in slitta e poi via nel tepee per un pasto caldo. la temperatura era di -37 gradi, ma era uno spettacolo.
(P.s. sono vicini all’ice hotel, e ti vengono a prendere e volendo riportare al tuo hotel)

Excellent experience. Nikklas, the owner, is kind, friendly, and engaging. His reindeer are super friendly, and the food experience is spectacular. The tour consists of seeing and feeding the reindeer, taking a short sleigh ride, and then off to the tepee for a hot meal. The temperature was -37 degrees, but it was spectacular.
(P.S. they are close to the ice hotel, and they will pick you up and take you back to your hotel if you want)

A glimpse into sàmi culture - Wonderful experience. Nicholas was friendly and kind. He shared with us stories from his family and was eager to answer all of our questions. He also cooked a delicious meal for us. We got to know his reindeer and take a sled ride all while enjoying beautiful snowy Nordic landscapes.
Totally worth it!
