Overview

Swap the city for the forest for a few easy hours. Your own English-speaking driver-guide picks you up in Helsinki and drives you about 45 minutes to Nuuksio, by the national park.

You hand-feed the reindeer with lichen and hear how people in Lapland live with them. They are gentle and eat from your hand, though they don't like to be petted. Then warm up by the fire in a Lappish kota with campfire coffee, tea or juice and a freshly baked cinnamon bun (gluten-free available). In December: glögi and gingerbread.

The car and guide are just for your group, so the pace is yours.

Why travelers love it:
1. Door-to-door private car and guide
2. Hand-feeding reindeer in a Finnish forest
3. Campfire drinks and a bun in a kota
4. Reindeer without flying to Lapland
5. Easy and family-friendly

Local tip: the forest feels colder than the city, so bring a hat and gloves.

Nuuksio National Park

Your private guide will pick you up and drive you to a peaceful reindeer park hidden in Nuuksio forest. There, you’ll meet the reindeer, feed them lichen, and hear stories about reindeer herding in Finland. After meeting the animals, you'll step into a cozy Finnish kota — a traditional wooden hut — where a warm fire awaits. You'll enjoy hot drinks and roast a Finnish bun over the open flames, surrounded by nature and silence. A relaxing, authentic experience just outside Helsinki.
