Unique Reindeer Farm - Misi

Katelyn E.

Look no further!! This is the reindeer farm you want to visit. I was searching for an authentic, family friendly experience that would help us understand reindeer farming and let us meet the reindeer in a slow paced environment. Once we reserved with Pekka, he messaged me to let me know he locked down the date of our visit since we were bringing two small kids - SO thoughtful! He picked us up from our hotel directly. We started by meeting and feeding the reindeer. It was not at all rushed. We followed Pekka on his daily routine caring for the reindeer and answered all of our questions. He was so attentive with our boys! After feeding, our boys were able to sled while Pekka prepared drinks for us in a traditional hut. He then let us try the snowmobiles and took us on a sleigh (with the snowmobile) around the frozen lake - absolutely stunning experience! He then fed us a meal of salmon soup and stewed reindeer that was phenomenal. It was a long day but it went by so fast. Purely magical experience and I couldn’t recommend this more! Pekka was a lovely host and we will be visiting him again the next time we’re in Rovaniemi.

We had a great time at Pekka's farm! So lucky to have visited during a slow time and we had a private and personal time with the reindeer! Had lots of fun feeding lichen, hay, & nutrient pellets, and just hanging around them, learned lots too - their habitats & lives; their importance to Finland!

Also learned lots of interesting things about the Finland history & culture - like where the WWII mines were and the forest where the army was trained (!), and about the Santa Claus tradition which we could NOT find with any description at SCV 🙄, and how the Sami lived with the reindeer.

We also both drove the snowmobiles and went on the snowmobile sleigh too, not just for the fun and thrill, but for a purpoe - tagging along Pekka when he tended the reindeer. And we awent on toboggans like kids! Got served hot juice in between, and had a cozy traditional reindeer lunch stew besides a fire. We were very well taken care of from pick up to drop off, and in between (e.g. warmly dressed with clean snowsuits + mittens + socks + boots + balaclava - it was -17C; being constantly checked on to see if we were fine while snowmobiling). Every moment at the farm Pekka treated us like good friends, not ‘customers’ - a super experience not to be missed!

Une superbe expérience authentique ! 😍
Quel plaisir de voir un endroit où les rennes sont libres et bien traités. 🦌
Pekka et sa famille nous ont fait découvrir leur magnifique et reposante ferme ainsi que la culture finnoise !

Les activités proposées, la nourriture et le cadre étaient incroyables.

Nous recommandons vivement cette expérience pour repartir la tête pleine de souvenirs !

we had a great experience at unique reindeer farm. we were the only ones, so it was like having a private tour. we met the reindeer and fed them. the guide was incredibly nice and told us all about the reindeer and how they live here. we also went snowmobiling which was a lot of fun. a delicious lunch too! it felt really authentic and not like a tourist attraction, anything but even

Echt tolles Erlebnis. Man ist hautnah bei den Tieren. Pekka ist ein toller Mensch der wunderbar kochen kann.
Wir waren mit 4 Erwachsenen und einem Kind bei ihm und seinen Rentieren.
Nicht nur dass wir sie füttern und streicheln durften, nein wir unternahmen auch eine rasante Fahrt mit den Snowmobilen über einen zugefrorenen See.
Wir hatten alle 3 Gerichte die angeboten wurden, gewählt und es schmeckte hervorragend. Alles wurde in einer offenen Hütte angeboten die durch das offene Feuer trotzdem schön warm wurde.
Man kann gar nicht alles aufschreiben was man erlebt hat.
Natürlich hatten wir herrliches Wetter und die Stille vor Ort ist einfach wunderschön.
Also wenn ihr in Rovaniemi Urlaub macht, vergesst alles andere und fahrt hier her. Die Tour ist jeden Cent wert.

Our visit to Unique Reindeer Farm was an amazing experience! We learned so many interesting facts about reindeer, thanks to the incredibly friendly host who shared his knowledge in a captivating way. The snowmobile ride was an exciting addition to the trip, making it even more special. To top it all off, the lunch was absolutely delicious. We truly enjoyed every moment and would love to return in the future. Highly recommended!

Na een aanbeveling van onze dochter die in Finland studeert hebben we met onze familie van 6 personen een tour op en rond de boerderij gedaan. Een geweldige ervaring, In het bijzonder door topgastheer Pekka die ons alles over het runnen van het bedrijf met veel enthousiasme heeft verteld. Aansluitend kregen we een heerlijke traditioneel Finse lunch van rendieren stoof met als toetje een rit met een snowmobile over het naastgelegen meer! Echt een aanrader en een van de hoogtepunten van ons verblijf in Rovaniemi.

Visiting the unique reindeer farm was an unforgettable highlight of our trip! From the moment we arrived, we were immersed in a world of authentic Arctic charm and hospitality. The farm was nestled in a picturesque snowy landscape, straight out of a winter wonderland.

The owner Pekka was incredibly welcoming and knowledgeable. Pekka was very kind, considerate, and friendly and I felt like his main goal and priority was to make sure we were enjoying our time at the farm with him and that we were comfortable, happy, and warm. He provided us with extra clothing and protective gear and also picked us up to take us to the farm and dropped us back to our Accommodation afterward which was a reasonable drive away, for this we were grateful.

We fed herds of reindeer, saw how well they are treated, loved, and cared for, and how much forest space they have to free roam. These animals are very respected and cared for. After we got to have a good ride around on some snowmobiles which was very fun.

To top it all off, we were treated to a delicious Finnish lunch by the roaring fire, sipping on hot berry juice, and coffee and Pekka cooked us some snacks on the fire which added a perfect touch to the day. All of the food was from the farm or a local friend or neighbor and it was delicious!

This reindeer farm is a must-visit for anyone traveling to Finland. Whether you’re seeking family-friendly activities, cultural immersion, or simply a tranquil escape into nature, this experience delivers. It’s a rare opportunity to connect with nature and culture in a deeply memorable way.

I’d give it more than five stars if I could—highly recommended!
