What to Expect:

Track Free-Roaming Reindeer in the Arctic Wild

Reindeer in Lapland live semi-wild and roam freely across vast landscapes of forest, marsh, and open fell. Guided by a local reindeer herder — you’ll drive along scenic trails with a 95% chance of spotting these iconic Arctic animals. They’re shy, but you’ll have excellent opportunities to observe and photograph them from a respectful distance.

Depending on the reindeer’s location, the route may cover 10–50 kilometers through a variety of terrain, including gravel roads, forest tracks, muddy swamps, and elevated fells — a true off-the-beaten-path adventure tailored for wildlife lovers and outdoor explorers.

Lunch by the Fire in a Private Wilderness Kota

After the ride, you’ll settle down in a cozy Lappish kota (a traditional wooden hut), warmed by an open fire and lined with soft reindeer hides. Here, your guide will serve a freshly prepared Arctic meal:

• Warming vegetable soup
• Soft rieska flatbread toasted on the fire
• Reindeer sausage, grilled by you over open flames
• Crispy pancakes with Arctic berry jam and whipped cream
• Freshly brewed fire-pot coffee or herbal tea

The meal is handmade using local and ecological ingredients and offers a genuine taste of Lapland’s culinary traditions. It’s the perfect reward after a day of riding and exploring.
