Absolutely terrible experience. If you want to pay for a private tour and then end up on a regular group walking tour surrounded by a crowd of people, this is the company to book with. The communication was extremely poor, and the customer service was absolutely unacceptable. We were promised one thing and received something completely different. When we tried to address the issue, the way we were treated was incredibly disappointing. I definitely do NOT recommend this company. If you want a pleasant experience, professional service, and to actually receive what you paid for, save yourself the frustration and book a tour with another company.

Itinerary
Private Pickup from Helsinki Your journey begins with a seamless transfer in a luxury air-conditioned vehicle from your preferred location in Helsinki, including the airport or cruise port. An official guide meets you directly at your address, ensuring a smooth and personalized start to the excursion. As you leave the city, the guide provides initial insights into the Finnish way of life and the scenic route ahead. The experience transitions into the serene landscapes of Nuuksio National Park, located in the Espoo region. This pristine wilderness offers a stark contrast to the urban environment, characterized by ancient forests and tranquil lakeside vistas. Your private transportation allows for exclusive access to the most picturesque spots within the park's protected boundaries.
Reindeer Encounter and Moss Feeding At the reindeer farm, you gain intimate access to these iconic Arctic animals in a quiet, private setting. You have the rare opportunity to pet and feed the reindeer their favorite treat, lichen (reindeer moss), while learning about their biology and cultural significance. This interaction is designed for nature lovers seeking a genuine connection with Finnish wildlife.
Nuuksio National Park Fireside Picnic in a Traditional Finnish Kota The adventure concludes with a rustic snack served by an open fire inside a traditional wooden hut, known as a kota. You can enjoy the warmth of the flames while sampling local snacks and bottled water in an atmospheric, sheltered environment. This authentic ritual provides a moment of reflection and relaxation before the return journey
Forest Exploration and Nature Study Guided by your expert, you embark on a walk through the dense taiga forest to observe the local ecosystem firsthand. The tour focuses on the unique flora and fauna of Southern Finland, highlighting the biodiversity that defines the national park. The itinerary is customizable, allowing the pace to be tailored to your interests in botany or photography
Return Transfer to Helsinki After three hours of immersion in nature, your private driver facilitates a comfortable transfer back to your original departure point. You can utilize the onboard WiFi to share your memories or simply enjoy the forest views during the final leg of the trip. The service ensures you are returned promptly to your hotel or port with no logistical concerns.

Such a unique and fun experience. Andrew was our guide and was so friendly and knowledgeable. We learned a lot about Finnish culture and he gave us suggestions for where to eat and visit while in Helsinki. Overall a really great experience made even better with Andrew as our guide!
we visited this park with our family. It was a very wholesome experience. The animals are very looked after the park is in great condition very authentic there is food and drinks included. That makes you feel like you’re a part of the atmosphere and you can feed the animals and you can definitely see that they are taking care of them and they have even some that are 10 years old here and the reindeer look very happy. overall, super happy with the with the experience here and would recommend to come to anyone!
Very friendly staff and a lovely experience for the whole family!
An extremely popular tour which I couldn’t book through several other tour operators. Found the Guide Father who could accommodate me while visiting Helsinki. Great day out as the guide was great - a very enjoyable day.
It was a beautiful sunny day when we started the tour from our hotel. We drove to the forest wirh the lakes, the fresh air and fresh water. Blueberrys everywhere. In the Raindeer Park you can feed and pet them, they really like it, but don't touch the antlers. You can eat and trink coffee in the tent and have a good time.
We had a wonderful time visiting this reindeer park! The reindeer were well cared for, friendly, and it was such a special experience being able to get up close and feed them. The staff were welcoming, knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about the animals, making the visit both fun and educational. The park was clean, well maintained, and surrounded by beautiful scenery, creating a peaceful atmosphere. It was a memorable experience for both adults and children, and we left with some fantastic photos and great memories. I would definitely recommend this park to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable day out. We can’t wait to visit again!
Very fun time, it’s very simple and straight to the point, just ignore the crowded place filled with idiots who do try and touch the deer, and you will enjoy it I’m sure
The reindeers look very well taken care of, the guides are available to answer all your questions. We were able to see the calves as well, but all the reindeers were so beautiful and gentle
Very brief experience but definitely a must see, the reindeers are adorable and the staff is kind.
Amazing expierience ,you can feed this lovely animals and also learn a lot about them same time
Really nice place and all the reindeer were rescued or born on site
Very compentent, patient and friendly
Great stories, we enjoyed the woods and Por oo
We had a great time with Guided Father . Very responsive when booking and on time. We enjoyed our tour of Helsinki and the reindeer park. Highly recommend!
It was very nice and fun. We watched love island on the way there and it was pretty fast to get there. We saw reindeer
Amazing food, amazing service, and the reindeers are incredible.
Great experience. Love everything. The guides are friendly and respond very quickly.
Perfect experience with the guide father. They are all excellent. I love the experience and I highly recommend to everyone. The reindeers are excellent.
Really good experience, with the nice scenery
Absolutely a great experience with Helpful, friendly and knowledgable guide
I absolutely loved this tour from start to finish. Everything was exceptionally well planned, organised, and executed. The team was incredibly helpful, friendly, and attentive throughout the entire experience, making us feel welcome and well taken care of. What impressed me most was the outstanding hospitality. Everything was thoughtfully arranged, and we never had to worry about a thing. All the necessary equipment, supplies, and refreshments were provided, and the guides ensured that we were comfortable and informed every step of the way. The tour was professionally guided, with clear instructions and plenty of opportunities to enjoy the experience at our own pace. The guides were knowledgeable, patient, and always willing to answer questions or offer assistance. This was a truly memorable experience, and I would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a well-organised tour with excellent service and genuine hospitality. Thank you for making this such an enjoyable and unforgettable adventure!
I recently visited the Reindeer Park and had a wonderful time! The private VIP car service was a great touch, making it easy to navigate the park. The staff were friendly and knowledgeable, providing us with valuable insights into the reindeer's habitat and behavior. Overall, I would highly recommend this park to anyone looking for a unique and enjoyable experience
We thought this was a park we could walk and explore. You only enter, go to a platform, see & feed the reindeer. That was very disappointing. The cool thing was that we cooked bread over fire and had coffee.
This tour was our favorite thing we did in Finland. Andrew, our guide, knew so much about life in Finland and about the national forest we went to. He was an amazing and knowledgeable guide. The reindeer were amazing too and Andrew and the other guide at the farm taught us a lot about them. We felt very comfortable. We also got to experience baking bread on a campfire in a traditonal teepee, and we had tea and very good raspberry jam. Thank you for the tour!
It was the highlight of our trip to Finland. The whole family loved it. The staff was very friendly and the food was awesome.
Wonderful to see Finland outside of Helsinki. Very beautiful! Thanks to our guide for a great experience!
This was an experience we will never forget! The Reindeer Rescue Ranch that we visited was so much fun and the people involved (both our driver, Andrew, and the woman that works at the ranch) were very friendly. It's a bit pricey but we have no regrets at all - would highly recommend this excursion!
This was an amazing tour - largely due to our guide. He was superb. Was super flexible with what we wanted to do and how long we wanted to spend. Very informative. We went to the adventure park afterwards and zip lined through trees! Such a fun day. Thanks!
Nice thing to see during winter. small farm, not very much to see - expected a bit more. organization, drivers and guides have been awesome, learned a lot about land, history, people and Finnland.
Reindeers were cool very nice
Super interesting info and a great nature experience. I can recommend it to everyone
It was so nice to go see reindeer from Helsinki. Giving moss was a very strange experience.
Very great experience. Animals are very calm and know people. You are well prepared and made aware of how to behave near the animals. Everyone is very warm and all questions are answered. Recommendation: Visit when it’s a maximum of 20 degrees. The animals prefer the weather like that.
Thank you so much for a great experience. Will come over again to play with relatives and friends
Excursion to the reindeer was sweet and the guide did well. Unfortunately, the tour was in English, although we booked it in German. Price/performance was not right.
L excursion a été annulée le 22 janvier à 14 h soit la veille du jour de l excursion donc impossible organiser autre chose pour mes invités!!! Ceci n est pas acceptable car c etait le cadeau pour le 90 ans de ma mere qui adore les rennes!!! Si vous aviez eu la correction de m avertir le jour ou j ai fait la réservation, j aurais changé les excursions et fait celle de la ferme des rennes le 22 quand c etait encore possible et celle de helsinki le 23 . en plus cela faisait un mois que j essayais de reserver cette excursion sans payer immediatement car vous dites sur le site que c est possible. mais en verite cela est impossible de réserver sans payer car des que l on met la CB le site debite le payement. donc pour cette raison j ai attendu pour payer la semaine du 16 janvier. a ce moment vous auriez du immediatement m informer que la visite a la ferme des rennes est impossible et me proposer de la mettre le 22 c etait facile a faire , mais non votre organisation est tres mauvaise et vous ne respectez pas vos clients! vous avez gaché le cadeau d anniversaire 90 de ma mère!!! j attends le remboursement immédiatement........
