Sweden · REINDEER AND SAMI EXPERIENCES
Reindeer herding is a working life, not a display, and the good visits say so. These 6 experiences cover feeding the herd, sled rides, lasso practice and coffee in a lavvu, with prices, durations and how far out of Kiruna or Luleå each sits.
Pair a Sami-inspired reindeer BBQ with a guided northern lights chase from Kiruna, including transport, warm drinks, and photo help.
“We went to some remote places to get a view. The guide was great. Unfortunately the lights did present themselves until after the tour was complete. These BBQ was delicious.”
Spend a day with Sámi reindeer herders near Kiruna, feeding reindeer, sledding, enjoying lunch, and learning about life in Sápmi.
“What an adventure with nature and wildlife. Guide was authentic very friendly and informative. Felt like we were part of their world…”
Feed reindeer, steer a sled, learn Sami traditions, and eat suovas at a family farm near Kiruna during this three-hour winter tour.
“This was genuinely fantastic. The hosts were incredibly friendly and it was great learning about Sami culture. The food provided was very nice. Directly interacting with the reindeer was amazing. We got to feed them, walk with them, and go on a sled. Warm clothing is provided which is a great plus for tourists from warmer climates. I highly recommend this activity.”
See Jukkasjärvi, feed reindeer at a Sámi camp, and explore the changing Icehotel on a four-hour Kiruna tour.

Meet, feed, and gently pet reindeer near Luleå, then warm up by a fire with Sámi stories, a hot drink, and smoked reindeer.
“Un endroit magnifique, un moment agréable, hors du temps avec les rennes. hôte très prévenant, prend le temps d'expliquer et de nous parler des rennes et de sa culture”
Meet reindeer, learn about Sámi culture, and warm up with grilled sausages on a small-group safari in Swedish Lapland.
Pick a season, pick a region, pick a day.
