Live the Life of a Reindeer Herder - Half Day at the Arctic

Unlike other animal encounters, thisis not a passive farm visit—this is real life with real reindeer herders. Join a small, exclusive group (max. 8 people) and take part in the daily tasks of a reindeer herder, surrounded by the beauty ofLapland’s wilderness.

For generations, local reindeer herders have lived and worked alongside their reindeer, following the rhythm of the Arctic seasons. This experience gives you the chance to step into their world, even if just for a few hours.

Tasks vary depending on the season, the needs of the herd, and the daily work of the herders, ensuring a truly authentic experience. You might find yourself:

🦌 Feeding the reindeer, observing their behavior, and learning about their natural diet.

🌿 Preparing leaf bundles—a vital food source for the colder months.

️ Repairing fences and maintaining the reindeer’s habitat to ensure their safety and well-being.

🌲 Tracking the herd in the wild, following ancient knowledge passed down through generations.

❤️ Caring for the reindeer’s health, understanding how herders monitor their well-being year-round.

Between tasks, your reindeer guide will share stories of reindeer, nature, and Arctic life - tales that can only be told by those who have lived them. We’ll end the experience by the fire, enjoying a simple, traditional snack, reflecting on the bond between people, animals, and nature.
