This exclusive experience delves deeply into the traditions of Europe’s only recognized Indigenous people, offering insights that are both educational and personal. Unlike large group tours, a private experience allows you to move at your own pace, engage directly with your guide, and focus on the aspects of Sami culture that intrigue you the most.
The Samiland exhibition highlights the fascinating distinctions between the Skolt Sami and Mountain Sami communities, showcasing their unique lifestyles, customary professions, and the myths that have shaped their worldview for thousands of years. Explore how these ancient practices have evolved into modern-day reindeer herding, as well as the traditional Sami building techniques used to create sustainable shelters in the Arctic environment. The outdoor section of the exhibition brings these stories to life, with authentic examples of Sami structures and reindeer husbandry.
In the winter season, your experience becomes even more magical with the opportunity to meet and feed reindeer, a central symbol of Sami culture. This intimate interaction is made even more special by the privacy of the tour, where there’s no rush or crowds—just you, the reindeer, and the Arctic tranquility.
After exploring the exhibition, we’ll drive to one of our favorite secluded fireplaces, a hidden gem you won’t find on larger tours. There, you’ll enjoy the warmth of a crackling fire as you sip on freshly brewed coffee and bake your own cinnamon buns on a stick—a traditional and delightful way to enjoy Lapland’s serene beauty. The peaceful surroundings and personalized attention from your guide create an unforgettable moment to reflect on everything you’ve learned and experienced.
Private tours offer unparalleled exclusivity, allowing you to connect more deeply with Lapland’s history and culture. Without the distractions or constraints of larger groups, you’ll enjoy a richer, more immersive journey, tailored entirely to your interests. This Sami culture and reindeer experience is more than just a tour—it’s a personal exploration of Lapland’s heritage, designed to leave you with memories that last a lifetime.
