Ride a snowmobile from Rovaniemi to a reindeer farm, enjoy a sleigh ride, learn Arctic traditions, and earn a reindeer driving license.

“It was a great afternoon! We had fantastic guides who took good care of us. You are provided with warm clothing, which you definitely need! 😉 You receive a briefing and then you're off. We also learned a lot about reindeer, which was very interesting. After the sleigh ride, we enjoyed warm drinks and pastries in a hut before heading back. We would definitely do it again!”

4.Pyhätunturi: Husky safari 5km including a farm visit

★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 72 reviews · 1.5 hours · from $165

Ride six Alaskan huskies through Lapland, visit a private farm, hear their stories, and warm up with berry juice by a fire.

“A great day with the Alaskan huskeys, learning about their breed and how they run the Pyha farm. It appears they treat the dogs quite well. My only complaint is that because there was 40 people in the group it took a long time to get organized and sledding, it made the actual ride feel quite short. If the ride was 8-10km it might have felt a bit more worth the money but either way we had an amazing time!”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 18 reviews · 4 hours · from $46

Review of Albufeira’s 4-hour 4x4 safari to Paderne and Alte, with castle ruins, village sights, honey, firewater, swimming, and countryside views.

“Our guide, Arthur, was very knowledgable and shared lots of history and information about the Portuguese countryside and culture. He took us to places off the beaten track so we could swim in a small pool fed by a waterfall. Good trip, great guide.”
