Reindeer safari price in Kilpisjärvi: what 70 and 95 euros buy
Illustration photo: harnessed reindeer in winter, not at the visits priced here.
The short answer
At 95 euros, the safari company's evening is the one to take if you need clothing: the thermal suit and transport are in the price. The farm's two-hour visit at 95 is the one to take if you can walk there and want the stories. The farm's one-hour sleigh visit at 70 is the cheapest reindeer time in the village. Book the safari company through the platform if your plans might change, because its own site keeps the whole price inside a week.

Three of the four reindeer prices in Kilpisjärvi are the same figure, and what separates them is everything around it.
What 95 euros buys
The safari company’s evening includes transport from its office, a full thermal set, a hot drink and a pastry, and its own site keeps the whole price if you cancel inside the last seven days.1 The same evening on the booking platform can be cancelled free until a day before.2 For anyone whose dates might move, that difference is worth more than any extra.
The farm’s two-hour visit at the same price is a walk away in the village, with no transport to pay for and no clothing lent.
The cheapest time with reindeer
The farm’s one-hour visit at 70 euros includes a wooden sleigh ride round the farm, the only sleigh on offer in the village. For a party that mainly wants to meet the animals, it is the least money for the thing itself.
Which visit suits which party, price aside, is on best reindeer tour in Kilpisjärvi.
Questions people ask
What does a family of four pay?
Only the safari company's figure can be added up, because it says rates are the same for everyone: four people pay 380 euros, and all four must be eight or older. Booked on its own site, pick-up within five kilometres adds 8 euros each, 32 in all. The farm prices children on enquiry, so its family total is only known once it replies.
Do we get our money back if the evening does not run?
The safari company's terms say it refunds the whole payment if it cancels for hazardous weather or other compelling reasons, and its tour page says the same for weather. If fewer than four people book, it contacts customers by the day before at the latest and offers either a full refund or a private tour at extra cost, so a small party is never simply charged for an evening that did not happen.
Are there extras at the farm?
The farm offers a traditional reindeer meat soup lunch and a longer private programme as add-ons, and a visit to the Sámi heritage site it is opening on its land, and asks you to enquire about them. It publishes no prices for any of these, so budget for the visit itself and ask about the rest in the same message.
