The short answer
For a family or a small group, ask Salla Wilderness Park through its enquiry form whether its reindeer safari, by day or after dark, can run for your party alone. For a longer day that reaches a herd by snowmobile, ask Sallatunturin Tuvat for its farm safari as a bespoke trip. Ask both for one total.

A private reindeer outing in Salla has to be asked for, and the two companies that run reindeer trips have different doors.
At the wilderness park
Salla Wilderness Park puts each adult on a sleigh of their own, with children riding with a parent, but runs its safaris for groups of four to twenty.1 A family of four fills the minimum on its own, which makes the question of a private departure a short one to ask.
At the fell resort
Sallatunturin Tuvat says it organises bespoke safaris tailored to your wishes,2 and its farm safari is the one that reaches reindeer.

Questions people ask
Could a private outing be at night?
The park already runs a reindeer ride after dark, through forest and swamp to a fire, from December to March. It is the obvious one to ask for as a private evening, since the aurora is part of it. Name it in your enquiry, with a first and a reserve date in case the first night is cloudy.
Would a private outing let us stay longer with the reindeer?
That is the point of asking. The shared safari keeps a timetable of about three hours; a private one could add time at the corral or a longer picnic in the hut. The park's one-day safari already runs five to six hours, so for a long private day, ask for that one.
What would it cost?
Neither company publishes a figure. The park's shared safari costs 116 euros per adult with children from three to twelve at half, and needs four guests, so a private one for a small party is likely to cost at least four places. Ask for one total before you commit.
