Boázu - the reindeer

Package tour 4 days

It is wonderful to offer a package where our guests get a genuine insight in the Sámi lifestyle as well as to be able to meet the reindeer many times over!
Guillaume, manager at reindeer lodge

Are you coming to Kiruna to meet reindeer? Then you are at the right place! With our package Boázu you both get to try driving with reindeer on a long trip through the forest and live with them as your nearest neighbor. As a finishing touch, we also invite you to Árrangaddis, a dinner consisting of 6 Sámi dishes served around the fire in our spectacular restaurant.

Day 1 – Arrival

Choose between renting your own car (book yourself) or being picked up by our transfer service (included) that will drive you to Reindeer Lodge. You check into a cabin and get time to familiarize yourself with the area, the reindeer enclosure and take a first trip to the sauna. At the lodge, you have access to skis, snowshoes and sledges for exploring nature on your own. Your dinner is served in our lounge. (M)

Day 2 – Àrrangaddis – Sami dinner around the fire

After a hearty breakfast, you have the day to discover the village. Maybe visit the world-famous Icehotel, Norrbotten's oldest church or the outdoor museum in Jukkasjärvi? Build a snowman and grill sausages? You get to shape the day exactly as you want before the evening's adventure begins. At 18.30 you will be picked up by your guide who will take you to Café Sápmi where you will be treated to a world-unique meal experience. During this memorable evening, our chefs will serve dishes that you cannot find in any restaurant, but in almost every Sámi home! In six dishes, we present a wide range of flavors and ingredients, from the most traditional to innovative modern interpretations. The guides will also keep an eye on the night sky during dinner, and if the northern lights appear, we will go out together and watch the magnificent light dance to end the evening. The night is spent in your cabin, heated by both stove and element (F, M).

Day 3 – Vuojan and night in lávvu

Your third day is full of adventure and it starts yesterday right after breakfast. Your guide meets you at the lodge and together you familiarize yourself with our reindeer before setting out to drive a sled through Sápmi's wonderful winter landscape. Each guest manages and drives their own reindeer, making this a fantastic experience for true outdoor enthusiasts who want to take part in a traditional Sámi activity. After a while of active reindeer sled driving through the Sámi cultural landscape, we arrive at a nice campsite where the guide cooks a tasty reindeer herder lunch around a crackling fire before we head back. At the lodge you are shown the accommodation for the night; a traditional lavvú where you sleep on a bed of birch branches with a reindeer hides and a sleeping bag - just like in the old days! Dinner is served in our lounge. (F,L,M)

Day 4 – Departure

After breakfast, it's time to pack up, say goodbye and travel on. Our transfer service takes you to Jukkasjärvi or into Kiruna. Don't forget to say goodbye to the reindeer! (F)
