Private Reindeer Feeding in Nuuksio & Kota Fire, Helsinki Pickup
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.
