Lapland Handbook Staff How we research this

The short answer

For a family that can reach the farm on its own, the lunch visit is the better value: cheaper for the adults, longer, with a meal. The dearer visit earns its extra twenty euros an adult only if you need collecting from your accommodation. The one-hour visit is the cheapest way in. The herder's sleigh rides have no published price, so ask before you plan around them.

How the operators compare

Prices are the operators' own published starting prices as of the date this guide was updated, and they change through the season.

Hetta Huskies: farm visitHetta Huskies: one hourVilu: farm visit
Adult €75 €25 €95
Child €50 under 12, free under 2 Not stated €50 ("Child (14)")
Two adults and two children €250 – the lowest total for a family of four Not stated €290
Included Lunch in a kota No lunch Transfer, hot drink, donuts

Highlighted figures are the best in that row: the lowest total for a family of four. All three price per person. The adult row is not ranked because the one-hour visit is a shorter, different outing; the family row compares the two full visits.

Where these figures come from
  • Hetta Huskies: farm visit: Two to three hours at a working herding enterprise, with a lasso demonstration and lunch in a kota.
  • Hetta Huskies: one hour: The same farm for an hour without lunch, offered occasionally and preferably on Thursdays.
  • Vilu: farm visit: Two hours feeding reindeer at a farm, with a transfer from Hetta, a short film and hot drinks with donuts.

In Hetta the adult fare decides less than what comes with it.

Lunch or a lift

The husky farm’s visit is the cheaper for adults and the longer, and ends with lunch in a kota.1 The other visit costs twenty euros more an adult, lasts two hours and includes a transfer from your hotel or cabin.2 A family of four with a car pays less on the first and gets a meal; a family without one is paying the difference for the transport.

The herder

The local herder’s sleigh rides and half-days are quoted on the phone, so they cannot be added up here.

Questions people ask

Why do two pages give different prices for the lunch visit?

The husky farm's product page gives 75 euros for an adult and 50 for a child under twelve, while its area page, describing a farm across the road, gives 65 and 45. The product page is the one you book from, so this page uses it; if the difference matters to you, ask which applies on your date.

What happens if we cancel?

Only the company behind the visit with the transfer publishes terms: nothing is refunded inside seven days of the start, and cancellations seven days or more ahead are refunded less an administration fee. The husky farm's reindeer page gives no cancellation terms, so ask for them when you book.

Is the short visit a good deal for a family?

At 25 euros an adult it is the cheapest reindeer contact in Hetta, but the page prints no child price for it and says it happens only occasionally, preferably on Thursdays, so it cannot be planned or totalled for a family in advance. Treat it as a bonus if the date works rather than the plan.

Lapland Handbook is written by its editorial staff in Rovaniemi.

Each guide names who should not book, and names the operator that suits each kind of group, whichever it is.
