We are a small reindeer herding family in Rovaniemi, Lapland. Our main source of income comes almost entirely from reindeer herding, which our family has practiced for decades. Our name, Porohaka, has stayed the same from the start of the 20th century when our farm was established. This is our first time to open our reindeer farm for travellers as you. We at Porohaka wish to introduce you to the tradition of reindeer herding. We welcome you with open arms!

Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

Wonderful day with very nice people and very friendly animals.
Truly one of the best holiday experiences we've ever had!!
We never felt so welcome.
It was a small group of 9 people which was splitted into two parts, so that the guides had enough time for everybody.
We also had a very good impression about the Reindeer and how they live, which was very important for us.
If we ever come back to Finland, we will go again to the Reindeerfarm

We had a wonderful time at Porohaka! Before the activities, Katja and Vesa helped to ensure that we were adequately geared for the weather. The sleigh ride and reindeer feeding experiences were unforgettable and really fun. They also patiently answered our endless questions about the reindeers. Lunch (reindeer meat soup) and tea break around a nice cozy fire were delicious. We enjoyed ourselves that day and couldn't bear to leave the reindeer farm. Thank you Katja and Vesa!

Katja and her team were amazing! I learned so much about reindeers from her. She and Westka (the sleigh guide) was part of the highlight of the trip. They’re professional and very knowledgeable since they’re 4th generation reindeer farmers. I love love love loved feeding the reindeers and the reindeer sleigh ride! The tour itself was 6 hours with round trip transportation. It was small and intimate. Didn’t feel like a pack of sardines like most tours. We had lunch and coffee at the end of the day to warm up.

For our first day in Lapland, we were looking for a cute local experience as a couple. This was beyond our expectations. First of all, you will be welcomed a very heartwarming Finnish couple in their own home with an unrivalled sense of hospitality. Their reindeer farm, created by their ancestors in the early 1900s, is really ethical and they provide a very large area for reindeers to live during winter time.

Be ready for a Reindeer sleigh ride followed by lunch in their home, a tour of the farm on the back of their snowmobile through the forest where you will be able to spend time with reindeers and feed them. We’ve also learned a lot about it, they are very knowledgeable people. They are taking time so you’re able to take as many pictures and video as you need.

The experience ends around a fire with coffee, hot chocolate and a delicious home made blueberry cake. We did not want to leave. I strongly recommend, worth every penny

Wow. What a magical day. Cannot recommend this enough. The hosts are incredibly welcoming, knowledgeable and the welfare of the animals is paramount. The pace of the day is perfect. You are in a small group and the day is broken up into a (activities might be the other way round depending on your group) reindeer sleigh ride, lunch, feeding and petting the reindeer that live in the forest and then warming up with a coffee or hot chocolate by the fire. Just incredible. Worth every penny.

I have no words to describe the experience we had. It was more than WONDERFUL. Be in touch with the reindeers in the forest it was amazing, It is not a tourist experience and this is what we were looking for. This is what it made it special . The husband and the wife were incredibly nice, they teach us a lot about the the life of the reindeers and all the history about the families that take care of them. And the chocolate and the cake around the fire was just perfect . IT IS AN EXPERIENCE THAT YOU SHOULDN'T MISS IN YOUR LIFE
