Aurora Hunting trip with reindeer sledding!
The reindeer herder picks you up, and we will leave the city life in Kiruna for one evening and travel eastward on the aurora borealis road. The road leads us further north into the wilderness and to the reindeer in the heart of northern Lapland.
The reindeer sledding tour brings you to the wilderness. Your new-found friend, the sled-reindeer pulls you forward. The silence emerges and you can hear the creaking of snow under the sled and the snapping from reindeer clover in the winter evening.
Imagine a clear starry sky evening far from the city lights and you may be lucky enough to see the majestic Northern Lights. You are travelling in a reindeer "rajd" as the Sámi people did for hundreds of years ago in these areas. This is a true winter adventure which will make your smile shine in the winter darkness. After the tour, we feed the reindeer herd together and gather in the lávvu around the warming fire to eat a dish made of reindeer meet.

Amazing experience. Beatrice and Fredrick were amazing hosts. We fed the animals in the coral, went on a see tour. And finished the day with an very tasty reindeer meat dinner in their traditional tepee. They also arranged vegetarian options when asked for. Highly recommend

Bertrice and Frederick were the most amazing guides. I think in total we probably spent 8 hours with Bertrice and she was absolutely lovely the whole time and willing to answer all of our questions thoughtfully, as she is also extremely knowledgeable about Sami culture and history. It was a once in a lifetime opportunity and kept offering new surprises hour by hour. She even stopped on the way back to make sure we all had a chance to see the Northern Lights. Truly magical and delightfulWhere do I start? I feed more reindeers than I have ever seen in my life! Fredrick drove me in back of his snowmobile feeding reindeers since there are so many!

Where do I start? I feed more reindeers than I have ever seen in my life! Fredrick drove me in back of his snowmobile feeding reindeers since there are so many! All friendly with wonderful names and character, then the norther lights appeared, we got very lucky since it was the only day I saw them so clearly on my trip. Sledding in a convoy of reindeers and guests was unforgettable, surreal the bright sky with northern lights! Finally, the food with tea and strong that Fredrick's wife cooked we so tasty! They told us stories the entire group laughed they are such happy people! (tip = they picked me up @ my hotel even THAT Hotel ;) Thank you for the "homemade strong coffee" Fredrick! Also, you got the WINNING REINDEER all the best @ the races! I will be back to visit!A wonderful experience. Everything was well organized, and there was no dull moment.

A wonderful experience. Everything was well organized, and there was no dull moment. You start with a drive to the area where the reindeers live. On the way you learn a thing or two about the Sami life from the very friendly host. After arrival you put on some extra layers and shoes, which seemed pretty new and were very comfortable. After that it’s time to feed the reindeers, who are not shy to come up to you and ask for some treats. Then you get to ride on a sled pulled by the reindeers and maybe meet Sven, the most curious and cuddly of the bunch. Last but not least you get to enjoy a delicious meal cooked right in front of you in a tent by the fire. If you are lucky enough you get to see the Northern lights, which look stunning in that remote place. Once we get back to Kiruna, we’ll visit again.I really enjoy this tour.

I really enjoy this tour. He drove us into the forest and we could see the sky so clear with many stars and step by step Aurora just appeared in front of us. It’s quite exciting to ride on reindeer sleighing and also get to feed them. Finally, we got into the Lavu for a nice dinner and tea. They are both really helpful. They kept asking us whether we can stand the coldness. It would be very nice to have a good photographer. Because it’s hard to take with our phone or camera without professional photographer.Amazing experience feeding and interacting with tons of reindeer prior to a reindeer sleigh ride and smoked reindeer cooked over the fire.

Amazing experience feeding and interacting with tons of reindeer prior to a reindeer sleigh ride and smoked reindeer cooked over the fire. This is run by a local Sami family who have been reindeer herders for many generations. It is great for children and families who want to get up close and personal with reindeer. Frederic and his family were incredibly kind and welcoming and truly made us feel like honorary members of their family and their lifestyle during our evening with them. Highly recommend making the time for this unique experience!
