Private Summer Reindeer Farm Visit & Sauna Experience in Rovaniemi

Rovaniemi is a vibrant city in northern Finland, the capital of the magical Lapland region. While it is well-known as a winter destination, the summer in Rovaniemi is equally captivating, with lush green landscapes and remarkable Arctic nature. This private tour from Rovaniemi combines two of the most iconic activities in Finnish Lapland!

The excursion begins at the starting point in Rovaniemi, where you'll meet your experienced guide (pick-up from your accommodation in the city is also available, please specify when booking). From there, you'll travel to the authentic reindeer farm in Finnish Lapland, located in the wilderness. Upon arrival, you'll be greeted by the local reindeer herders, who have been operating in this area for four centuries! They will introduce you to the majestic semi-wild reindeer. You'll have the unique opportunity to feed the animals directly from your hand, while the herders share more information about the importance of reindeer in Lappish culture and lifestyle.

After the reindeer farm visit in Rovaniemi, you'll travel deeper into the forest to a wilderness log cabin and traditional sauna. The cabin is located in the heart of Arctic nature beside a small lake, with no electricity or running water. This is the perfect place to switch off, relax and enjoy the tranquillity of nature! The guide will light the wood burner and provide instructions for using the sauna in the Finnish way. Sauna towels, soaps, birch tar oil and other equipment will be provided.

During your sauna experience in Rovaniemi, you'll have complete privacy with your loved ones. There is also a pontoon leading directly to the lake if you would like to dip into the cool waters. The best way to experience the sauna is to alternate between the hot room and the cold water, as this has many health benefits. After unwinding in the traditional sauna, hot drinks and cookies will be served inside the log cabin. Afterwards, the guide will transfer you back to the original starting point in Rovaniemi.
