Enjoy a tour around the traditional farm and you get to feed the reindeer their favourite food, lichen, which to reindeer is like chocolate! Your visit ends end with some time around the fire with a herder who will answer all your questions.

As you walk to the bear look-out cabin, you can already spot some marks and footprints left by bears. Inside the hut, are many windows and places to place your cameras and some bunk beds to sleep when you need to.
The bear watching is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. The bear-watchers will explain more about the bears while waiting for them to approach the cabin. White-tailed sea eagles and rooks will start to gather, and you will soon hear bears getting closer from the squawk of the rooks.
The next morning, after a quick breakfast, your guide will drive you back to Rovaniemi.
