Live the Life of a Reindeer Herder – Half-Day in the Arctic
About
Unlike other animal encounters, this is 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 of Lapland’s wilderness.
Important Information for your reindeer herder's life experience:
To fully enjoy your Live the Life of a Reindeer Herder experience we recommend dressing appropriately for the Arctic outdoor conditions. Please wear:
✔ Weather-appropriate outdoor clothing – Light and breathable for warm days, windproof and layered for cooler conditions.
✔ Sturdy footwear – Comfortable outdoor shoes or boots suitable for walking on uneven terrain.
✔ A hat and gloves if needed – Lapland’s weather can be unpredictable, even in summer and autumn.
Most importantly, bring a curious and adventurous mind! This is a hands-on experience where you’ll step into the daily life of a reindeer herder—be ready to learn, explore, and embrace the Arctic way of life.
See you in the wilderness! 🦌🌿🔥
