Husky and reindeer safari Rovaniemi: know before you book

The Santa part is a short visit with queues and paid photos; clothing, age rules and early-season rides differ between combos — check the card.

Meeting Santa is short

On the guided combos you meet Santa in his office; the visit itself takes a few minutes.

The Santa photo is extra

One reviewer (December 2025) paid about €40 for the printed photo — an example; prices change.

Afternoons are tight

Afternoon departures can leave little shop time — one review mentions shops closing around 5 pm.

Clothing is not always included

Included on the most-booked combo, not listed on several others and excluded on the self-drive husky safari.

Some exclude under-3s

Several combos don't take children under 3; on self-drive huskies drivers are 18+, children sit in the sleigh.

Sleighs need snow

Many combos don't run sleigh rides before 1 December; some list them from mid-November.

06Questions

Husky and reindeer safari Rovaniemi — FAQ

Is a husky and reindeer safari worth it?

Yes, as a first day in Lapland with children or with Santa on the list: you meet both animals, eat, and see the Arctic Circle in 4–6 hours for €163–€219. If you want long rides, book one long reindeer safari and one husky tour instead.

All reindeer safaris

How long are the husky and reindeer rides on a combo?

Usually 400–500 m with reindeer and 500 m–1 km with huskies — a few minutes each. Longer rides exist: self-drive huskies 5+2 km, or a 45-minute reindeer ride on an 8-hour day.

Compare all

Is there a discount code for husky and reindeer safaris?

We don't have one, and we don't publish codes we can't verify. GetYourGuide shows the operators' own prices; some show a struck "was" price when a promotion runs. Book with free cancellation and re-check the price before the cut-off.

Compare all

Do I drive the reindeer or the huskies?

On the classic combo you drive your own reindeer for 500 m; the huskies are driven by a musher. On the self-drive husky safari you drive the dogs yourself (18+, children sit in the sleigh).

Are lunch and winter clothes included?

Winter clothing is included on the most-booked combo but not listed on several others (and excluded on the self-drive husky safari) — check the card; lunch is included on the 5–6-hour ones (salmon or vegetarian soup on the most-booked).

Check dates

Can children join?

Yes on most combos; several exclude children under 3. The most-booked one lets children under 150 cm try mini snowmobiles.

With kids

Do combos run before December?

Many don't run sleighs before 1 December, and some list sleigh rides only from mid-November.

Best time

Can I add the northern lights?

Santa's reindeer and husky safari with aurora BBQ (★4.5, 171, €219, 7 h) adds an evening aurora hunt with sausages by a bonfire; lights are never guaranteed.
