Kemi: Long Reindeer Safari

Reindeer have been an integral part of life in Lapland for centuries, providing transport, sustenance, and cultural significance. On this extended safari, you’ll journey through Kemi’s pristine winter landscapes, riding in a sleigh pulled by these iconic Arctic animals. The Long Reindeer Safari allows you to immerse yourself fully in nature, enjoying the calm, crisp air and the rhythmic pace of the ride.

Your adventure begins at the reindeer farm, where you’ll meet your guide and the reindeer team. You’ll receive instructions on how to safely ride and interact with the animals, as well as tips for making the most of the journey. The guide will share fascinating stories about reindeer herding, Lapland’s cultural traditions, and the animals’ unique adaptations to Arctic life.

Once your sleigh ride begins, you’ll travel along scenic forest trails, across open snowfields, and over frozen rivers or lakes. The slow, peaceful pace allows you to take in the breathtaking surroundings — snow-dusted trees, distant hills, and the pristine Arctic wilderness. Along the route, there may be stops for photographs, warm drinks, or simply to admire the stillness and silence of Lapland in winter.

This long safari offers the perfect balance of relaxation and adventure, giving participants ample time to connect with nature and the reindeer. The extended duration allows you to experience multiple landscapes and to appreciate the changing scenery, from dense forests to open expanses glistening in the Arctic sun. In the evening, depending on timing and season, you may even have the chance to glimpse the Northern Lights dancing across the sky.
